“…However, very few studies have quantified "sensory integration" in children. One such study used the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) to examine children's ability to integrate multiple sensory inputs for postural control (Foudriat et al, 1993). In the SOT, a subject stands on a surface that is either fixed or rotates to maintain the body angle constant with respect to surface as the subject sways, a technique called swayreferencing that makes ankle proprioception unreliable.…”

“…development rate differs for each condition in the SOT, with the visual and support surface sway referencing condition improving more slowly than other less-challenging conditions. Even though Foudriat et al (1993) provided important information on postural development, the SOT is not designed to quantify the sensory fusion process. It quantifies decrements in performance when sensory information is attenuated.…”

Development of multisensory reweighting for posture control in children

Reweighting to multisensory inputs adaptively contributes to stable and flexible upright stance control. However, few studies have examined how early a child develops multisensory reweighting ability, or how this ability develops through childhood. The purpose of the study was to characterize a developmental landscape of multisensory reweighting for upright postural control in children 4 to 10 years of age. Children were presented with simultaneous small-amplitude somatosensory and visual environmental movement at 0.28 and 0.2 Hz, respectively, within five conditions that independently varied the amplitude of the stimuli. The primary measure was body sway amplitude relative to each stimulus: touch gain and vision gain. We found that children can reweight to multisensory inputs from 4 years on. Specifically, intra-modal reweighting was exhibited by children as young as 4 years of age; however, inter-modal reweighting was only observed in the older children. The amount of reweighting increased with age indicating development of a better adaptive ability. Our results rigorously demonstrate the development of simultaneous reweighting to two sensory inputs for postural control in children. The present results provide further evidence that the development of multisensory reweighting contributes to more stable and flexible control of upright stance which ultimately serves as the foundation for functional behaviors such as locomotion and reaching.

“…Postural control requires the organization and integration of somatosensory, visual and vestibular inputs by the central nervous system and the motor control process involved in executing musculoskeletal responses that keep the body within its limits of stability [1]. children's balance control is less developed as compared to adults and postural stability improves progressively with age from childhood to adulthood [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

from childhood to adolescence. Postural stability had not reached the adult level by the age of 13-14 years. Reliable information regarding postural stability can be obtained in children and young adolescents by means of stabilometric parameters. These data can be used as a reference for early detection of atypical postural development and for the assessment of dizziness and balance disorders in children.

“…The P-CTSIB is an improvement over the tiltboard in discriminating individual sensory inputs (2). Depending on the level of developmental maturation, a child might be relying more on the visual system for balance between the ages of four months and two years, and only begin to integrate vestibular and somatosensory information between the ages of seven and 10 years (2,51).…”
