“…A body scheme arises in the consciousness by integrating stimuli at different levels of the CNS. Not all stimuli received by the receptors reach the cerebral cortex and not all are realized [ 20 ]. The basis for forming a body scheme comprises the lowest levels of sensory integration.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between sensory integration and balance deficits as well as scoliotic changes in young schoolgirls. The study comprised 54 girls aged 11 years with scoliotic changes. The Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance of the Biodex Balance System platform were used to analyze the deficits in sensory integration and balance. Scoliotic changes were assessed using the Diers Formetric III 4D optoelectronic method. In the present study, there was a significant relationship between sensory integration and balance deficits as well as spine curvature angle (°) (p = 0.01), vertebral surface rotation (°) (p = 0.03), pelvic tilt (°) (p = 0.02), and lateral deviation (mm) (p = 0.04). The integration of the sensory systems has a positive effect on the structure of the intended and controlled movement as well as body posture and the development of the spine. In the treatment of scoliotic changes, one should also consider exercises that improve sensory integration as well as position and balance reactions.

In recent years, the prevalence of sensory integration disorders in children in urban areas has increased. Most existing sensory integration treatments are located in hospital-based sensory integration units; however, medical resources are extremely limited, making it difficult to guarantee the appropriate treatment time and intervention results for many children. The concept of sensory integration therapy must be disseminated widely and correctly to meet these children’s needs. Although most urban communities have a high number of children’s spaces, these spaces require improvement. This study proposes the incorporation of the concept of sensory integration therapy into neighborhood open spaces for children to positively impact children’s sensory development. The purpose of this study is to determine the effective facility factors of an occupational therapy room, translate them into a community facility design, clarify the categories and relative importance of each design attribute, and explore the design strategies of the children’s facilities in neighborhood open spaces based on the sensory integration theory. This study investigates the importance of the sensory integration treatment level. The facilities in neighborhood open spaces for children can be considered systemic structures consisting of five partitioned units with different levels of importance among the synergistic components within each unit. These structures will enable children to experience sensory stimulation during daily outdoor play and will serve as preventive and therapeutic tools.

In human body, sensory integration plays a significant role as it is a mutually reinforcing and complementary process of the body in general and human brains in particular. This process extensively utilizes the nervous system during individual development for the creation of numerous sensations, which are very helpful in making people act accordingly. It is important to note that body and brain will not be able to perform in unison preferably without sensory integration. This is one of the most challenging issues related to the people especially with autism face. Generally, number of children suffering with autism is increasing day by day at a predominant rate, however, the exact cause of these remains unknown until today. Furthermore, as per our knowledge, positive outcomes or opinions on its onset are not reported yet in literature, which is very alarming, and currently special care behavior training is suggested to be taken by the individuals. By thoroughly analyzing the literature combined with the special psychological characteristics of autistic children, we have observed that sports is one of the possible ways which could possibly help these children in the development process of their brains and bodies, but a necessary measure to intervene and improve their conditions are needed to be adopted as well. In order to solve the problem of sensory integration disorder in children with autism, this paper proposes an effective mechanism for determining the effectiveness of the physical intervention using sensory integration theory on the recovery of children with autism. To investigate this, we have started with sensory integration theory, which is one the most vital factor in the in recovery process of children suffering from the autism. Additionally, it takes a unique approach to designing physical activity for children with autism, and builds a model of physical play assessment followed by an intervention experiment. In order to verify various claims of the proposed scheme, we have carried out numerous experimental studies which conclude that the proposed approach is affective mechanism for solving the problem.
