This study investigated the effects of cerebral palsy (CP) and gender on youth participation in activities outside formal school.Twenty-two participants with CP 30 typically developing peers, ages 12-16 years, completed Children's Assessment Participation Enjoyment (CAPE; King et al., 2004).Typically youths engaged a broader range did so more frequently than CP. Similar levels enjoyment activity were found both groups. In some scales CAPE, participated proportionally alone at home. Gender...
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine relationship between extreme sensory reactivity as expressed in daily living situations, and trait state anxiety, among healthy individuals. Procedures: One hundred thirty-five individuals filled Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile regarding their responses experiences. Anxiety assessed by Spielberger's State-Trait Inventory. Findings: Participants with hypersensitivity, well those Low Registration input, showed elevated anxiety anxiety. Men...
This study examined the relationships between children's self-reports on their handwriting performance, actual process and product, wider motor-perceived self-efficacy.Twenty-one children with dysgraphia 21 typically developing copied a paragraph an electronic tablet as part of Computerized Penmanship Evaluation Tool. Handwriting product was evaluated by Hebrew Evaluation. Participants completed Children's Questionnaire for Proficiency (CHaP) Perceived Efficacy Goal Setting System (PEGS).The...
Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD) may negatively impact children's self-efficacy and limit their performance participation in school as well leisure activities performed after hours. However, a lack of information exists regarding the relationships between DCD, child's participation. Moreover, literature about way children with DCD experience these limitations report them is scarce. This study aimed to compare perceived preference participate typical peers illuminate relationship...
Purpose: Growing evidence exists regarding the relationship between sensory processing and affective disorders. However, most of this relates to children. This study aimed explore positive/negative affect patterns as expressed in daily situations among healthy adults. Procedure: Two hundred thirteen individuals aged 18–50 years completed Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) Positive Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Results: correlated positively with Sensitivity, Sensation Avoiding Low...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between sensory processing difficulties (SPD) which refers detection, modulation and response input interpersonal relationships. 139 students participated in completed two self report questionnaires: Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile measuring abilities as expressed daily living Hebrew version MMPI-2. results demonstrated strong associations different patterns SPD a wide range symptomathology, including anxiety, somatization,...
Thirty participants with post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and 30 healthy controls completed the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Scale (PSS-SR) Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP). Participants PTS vacillated between sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, low registration. Sensation avoiding registration correlated intrusive thoughts related to PTS. Discriminant Analysis classified 73% of study group 80% controls. may be hypersensitivity Further studies about profile people...
Abstract OBJECTIVE. We examined the relationship between pain perception, as expressed by catastrophizing level, and sensory processing patterns among typical adults. METHOD. Two hundred ninety healthy adults participated in this study: 138 men 152 women. Their ages ranged from 18 to 50 (mean age = 30.2 ± 6.8). All participants completed Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). RESULTS. PCS scores significantly correlated with Low Registration, Sensitivity,...
Participation is a central concept in health and well-being healthcare, yet operationalizing this has been difficult. Its definition, uses impacts on recovery require ongoing research. Our review question goes like this: from the longitudinal evidence investigating participation among stroke survivors, what are patterns of survivors over time, interventions used to improve participation? To fully understand these questions, we also ask, how defined literature, measures literature? A...
Objective: To compare sensory processing, coping strategies, and quality of life (QoL) in unipolar bipolar patients; to examine correlations between processing QoL; investigate the relative contribution sociodemographic characteristics, strategies prediction QoL. Methods: Two hundred sixty-seven participants, aged 16-85 years (53.6±15.7), whom 157 had a diagnosis major depressive disorder 110 type I II, completed Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile, Coping Orientations Problems Experienced,...
Abstract Despite growing interest in the relationship between sleep disturbances and behavioral disorders—specifically, symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children—the underlying structure this is poorly understood. The aim study was to explore contribution sensory hypersensitivity relationship. Parents 56 schoolchildren completed questionnaires reporting habits, behavior, processing. Significant correlations were found global scores all 3 constructs; however,...
This study aims to investigate the impact of sensory hypersensitivity in children with atopic dermatitis (AD) and evaluate a possible relationship between hypersensitivity, sleep quality disease severity AD. Fifty-seven AD patients 37 healthy children, aged 3-10 years, participated this study. Disease was assessed using Severity Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Score. The profile Short Sensory Profile (SSP) characteristics were evaluated Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). group...
