Sensory Processing Associated With Motor Skills

January 11, 2024 updated by: Ayse Simsek, Gazi University

Is Sensory Processing Associated With Gross and Fine Motor Skills at 1-Year-Old?

In the study, sensory processing skills of 1-year-old preterm and term children will be evaluated. The relationship between sensory processing skills and gross and fine motor development will be investigated.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Test of Sensory Functions in Infants TSFI
Time Frame: 15 minutes
The Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) is a standardized and reliable tool designed to evaluate the sensory development of infants aged 4-18 months. Consisting of 24 items, the TSFI measures reactions in five distinct subdomains: tactile deep pressure, visual-tactile integration, adaptive motor function, ocular motor function, and reactivity to vestibular stimulation [1]. A specific age-normalized score is generated for each subdomain, contributing to a total score determined by the sum of all subdomains. The total score ranges from 0 to 49, with higher scores indicating more typical sensory responsiveness and lower scores suggesting behaviors associated with sensory over-responsivity [2]. In this study, a physiotherapist administered the TSFI to assess the sensory development of infants.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2
Time Frame: 30 minutes
The PDMS-2 is a widely employed and acknowledged assessment tool for evaluating a child's motor abilities. Its primary purpose is to distinguish and aid in identifying developmental delays in children aged 5 and below by comparing their performance against established norms [3]. The gross motor skills section includes 4 subtests: reflexes, stationary, locomotion, and object manipulation. Similarly, the fine motor skills segment consists of 2 subtests: grasping and visual-motor integration. Each item in the test is evaluated using a 3-point scoring system.
