ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate the visual perception difference between ADHD children with and without sensory processing disorder, and the relationship between sensory processing and visual perception of the children with ADHD.MethodsParticipants were 47 outpatients, aged 6-8 years, diagnosed with ADHD. After excluding those who met exclusion criteria, 38 subjects were clustered into two groups, ADHD children with and without sensory processing disorder (SPD), using SSP reported by their parents, then subjects completed K-DTVP-2. Spearman correlation analysis was run to determine the relationship between sensory processing and visual perception, and Mann-Whitney-U test was conducted to compare the K-DTVP-2 score of two groups respectively.ResultsThe ADHD children with SPD performed inferiorly to ADHD children without SPD in the on 3 quotients of K-DTVP-2. The GVP of K-DTVP-2 score was related to Movement Sensitivity section (r=0.368*) and Low Energy/Weak section of SSP (r=0.369*).ConclusionThe result of the present study suggests that among children with ADHD, the visual perception is lower in those children with co-morbid SPD. Also, visual perception may be related to sensory processing, especially in the reactions of vestibular and proprioceptive senses. Regarding academic performance, it is necessary to consider how sensory processing issues affect visual perception in children with ADHD.

Aim: This paper aims to determine the relationship between the confidence in ability to perform activities without falling and the level of activity participation of community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Community-dwelling older adults from Korea were recruited for the study. All 61 participants were examined using the falls efficacy scale and Korean Activity Card Sort. Pearson's correlation analysis was run to examine the associations between fall-related efficacy and activity level. Results: Fall efficacy and level of instrumental activities, leisure activities, social activities, and total activity level exhibited a moderate relationship (r = .411 * * , .395 * * , .418 * * , .437 * * , p < .01). Conclusions: Individuals with low fall efficacy were excessively careful about activity performance-a tendency that may induce activity avoidance or reduction. Such avoidance and reduction to activities, in turn, enable older adults not to maintain quality of life, such as instrumental activities, leisure activities, and social activities.
