Sensory Integration Therapy in Children With Congenital Brachial Plexus Injury: Developmental Outcomes

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

sensory integration therapy: Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) is a client-centered rehabilitation approach aimed at improving adaptive and functional responses to sensory stimuli in changing environments. It is based on structured, individualized activities conducted in enriched sensory environments. These environments are designed to be engaging and motivating for children through the use of interactive and playful tasks that match their sensory processing profiles. Sensory integration plays a key role in motor planning, postural control, attention, and emotional regulation. Deficits in sensory integration-particularly in vestibular, tactile, and proprioceptive systems-may result in poor muscle tone, difficulty with balance and coordination, and impaired motor planning. These issues can negatively impact the development of gross motor, fine motor, language, and academic skills. For this reason, sensory-based interventions that support neural organization and promote adaptive responses are commonly recommended i

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy in reducing sensory, motor, and cognitive developmental impairments following Congenital Brachial Plexus Injury (CBPI), and to support the overall developmental processes of affected children.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) — The assessment will be conducted at the beginning of the treatment and repeated at the end of the 8-week treatment period.
  The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III) is a standardized assessment tool designed to evaluate the developmental functioning of infants and toddlers aged 1 to 42 months. It measures five key domains: Cognitive, Language (Receptive and Expressive), Motor (Fine and Gross), Social-Emotional, and Adaptive Behavior. The Bayley-III is widely used in clinical and research settings to identify developmental delays and to monitor developmental progress over time
