Overview
Brief Summary
Our study examines the effect of sensory integration training on sensory, motor and oculomotor skills in infants with cortical vision impairment .
Detailed Description
Cortical vision impairment (CVI) and Cerebral Palsy (CP) lead to decrement in sensory and motor functions of infants. The current study examined the effectiveness of sensory integration interventions on sensory, motor, and oculomotor skills in infants with cortical vision impairment. Thirty-four infants with CVI and CP aged 12-18 months were enrolled to the study. The infants were randomly divided into 2 groups as the control and intervention groups. The intervention group took sensory integration intervention 2 days a week for 8 weeks in addition to conventional physiotherapy two days a week for eight weeks. The control group only received the conventional physiotherapy program 2 days a week for 8 weeks. The duration of the treatment sessions were 45 minutes for both interventions. Before and after the intervention, sensory processing functions were evaluated with the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) and motor functions were evaluated with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI)
Time Frame: 30 minute
The TSFI consists of 24 items. It was developed to evaluate sensory processing problems in infants aged 4 to 18 months. The test consists of five subsections and 24 items.
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)
Time Frame: 30 minute
The AIMS gives information about the gross motor development of infants whose corrected ages are between 0 and 18 months. In AIMS, the age of infants is calculated as the corrected age. It allows the family and the clinician to obtain information about the infant's current motor development and to compare the motor development before and after treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI)(30 minute)
- Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)(30 minute)
