“…This OUG produced constant "correct" sensory input of proprioceptive and tactile modalities that accompany the child throughout his daily activities. The findings presented in the present article are consistent with previous findings on the positive influence of deep touch-type stimulation in children with ASD [41][42][43].…”

Background: Tailored interventions. One potential novel intervention is orthotic under-garments (OUG Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neuro-developmental disorder frequently presenting sensory-motor impairments. The complexity and diversity of ASD typically calls for individualized). Aim: To explore the feasibility and effect of OUG as a supplementary therapeutic modality on motor, sensory capabilities and behavior of a child with ASD. Participant: A five years and eight months old child with ASD that presents hypotonia, poor postural control and coordination, a significant motor delay, severe sensory modulation problems, and unusual behaviors. Procedure: Motor, sensory and behavioral evaluations were performed pre (Pre-I) and after (Post-I) a four months intervention: Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2), The Short Sensory Profile (SSP), therapists' reports and parental interviews served as a behavior and emotion evaluation. Results: Motor function has improved (PDMS-2 percentile <1 Pre-I vs. Post-I 3). Sensory function has improved (Total SSP score 136 Pre-I vs. Post-I 102). Therapeutic and parental reports indicated a decrease of atypical behaviors, improvement in self-confidence and better social participation. Conclusion: According to the current case report, the OUG was found to be useful in improving sensory-motor functions and emotional behaviors of a child with ASD. Our findings provide a possible support to the introduction of orthotic undergarment as a part of individually tailored physical therapy interventions for the child with ASD.

“…There is a general trend in the stability of results suggesting sensory behaviour differences between TD children and children with (1) ASD [ 5 , 31 , 32 , 37 , 40 , 41 ]; (2) ADHD [ 38 , 39 , 42 ]; and (3) SMD [ 5 , 27 , 28 , 32 , 44 , 45 ]. However, there were variations in the results of autonomic physiological measures ranging from significant differences to none when clinical groups were compared to at least the TD children (see Table 1 ).…”

“…However, there were variations in the results of autonomic physiological measures ranging from significant differences to none when clinical groups were compared to at least the TD children (see Table 1 ). Significant physiological differences were suggested by four studies: lower resting PNS in ASD and severe SMD [ 40 ]; lower PNS reactivity in SMD [ 28 , 43 ]; and higher resting SNS reactivity in ADHD [ 31 ]. Ten studies, while reporting differences or atypical physiological responses to sensory stimuli, failed to reach significant levels [ 5 , 27 , 32 , 37 – 39 , 41 , 42 , 44 , 45 ].…”

“…Whereas all studies reviewed in this article reported similar methodologies related to behavioural and physiological regulation of responses to sensory stimuli, less than half performed correlational analysis (see Table 1 ). Six studies explored the relationship between behaviour and physiological regulation of responses to sensory stimuli [ 5 , 31 , 32 , 37 , 40 , 41 ]. In these studies, separate correlational analyses were performed between TD and clinical groups of children.…”

Background Previous studies have explored the correlates of behavioural and autonomic regulation of response to sensory stimuli in children; however, a comprehensive review of such relationship is lacking. This systematic review was performed to critically appraise the current evidence on such relationship and describe the methods used in these studies. Methods Online databases were systematically searched for peer-reviewed, full-text articles in the English language between 1999 and 2016, initially screened by title and abstract, and appraised and synthesized by two independent review authors. Results Fourteen Level III-3 cross-sectional studies were included for systematic review, among which six studies explored the relationship between behaviour and physiological regulation of responses to sensory stimuli. Three studies reported significant positive weak correlations among ASD children; however, no correlations were found in typically developing children. Methodological differences related to individual differences among participants, measures used, and varied laboratory experimental setting were noted. Conclusion This review suggests inconclusive evidence supporting the relationship between behavioural and physiological regulation of responses to sensory stimuli among children. Methodological differences may likely have confounded the results of the current evidence. We present methodological recommendations to address this matter for future researches. This trial is registered with PROSPERO registration number CRD42016043887.

“…RRBs were often proposed as a manifestation of anxiety-driven behaviors, as many authors pointed to the role in which overarousal played in these behaviors. Twelve of these studies included children with ASD, and the relationship between sensory features and RRBs remains across development in this group, including toddlers (Wiggins, Robins, Bakeman, & Adamson, 2009;Wolff et al, 2017), school aged children (Black et al, 2017;Boyd et al, 2010;Matsushima et al, 2016;Neil, Olsson, & Pellicano, 2016), and adolescents (Green, Chandler, Charman, Simonoff, & Baird, 2016). Researchers have attempted to unravel the complexities between specific RRBs, anxiety, and sensory sensitivity.…”

Background: While research has largely focused on the relationship between sensory processing patterns and internalizing behaviors (e.g., anxiety, depression) in children with autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, this relationship is not fully understood among the general population or across development.Method: This scoping review addressed the following research question: How are sensory processing patterns associated with internalizing behaviors (e.g., anxiety, depression) among children with various conditions as well as typically developing children from birth to 22 years of age?Results: Since 2005, n = 97 peer-reviewed articles have addressed this topic and were included in the current review. Overall, findings show a complex interplay between sensory processing patterns, internalizing behaviors, cognitive factors (intolerance of uncertainty, ritualism, cognitive rigidity), and personality characteristics.Discussion: The results of this review showed that research primarily focused on individuals with ASD, and many articles used mediation models to examine complex relationships. Implications for future research are discussed. CommentsThe authors report that they have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
