Sensory Organization Test – Article Summary
All information has been reviewed and is up to date for this test. Article Summary: Fong SSM, Tsang WWN, Ng GYF. Altered postural control strategies and sensory organization in children with developmental coordination disorder. Human Movement Sciences. 2012; 31: 1317-1327. The purpose of this cohort study was to compare standing balance ability and motor control strategies of children with and without DCD using the sensory organization test. The experimental group consisted of twenty-two children with a formal diagnosis of DCD, but no other co-morbidities, who were selected from a local child assessment center. The control group consisted of nineteen children with normal development who were recruited from the community. Children in both the experimental and control groups were of similar ages. Each child was tested by standing barefoot on the platform of a computerized dynamic posturography machine with a security harness. Three trials of the six different conditions (1. eyes…

Updates: All the above information was reviewed and is up to date. Article Review: The Effect of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy Program on Sensory Organization of Deaf Children With Bilateral Vestibular Dysfunction Ebrahimi AA, Jamshidi AA, Movallali G, Rahgozar M, Haghgoo HA. The Effect of Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy Program on Sensory Organization of Deaf Children With Bilateral Vestibular Dysfunction. Acta Medica Iranica; Tehran. 2017;55(11):683-689. Purpose: Children with bilateral vestibular impairment have demonstrated deficits in postural control, however little research has been done to determine interventions for improving postural control in this population. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an intervention to improve visual and somatosensory input on sensory organization and postural control in children with bilateral vestibular impairment and sensorineural hearing loss. Study Population: Participants consisted of 24 children (ages 7-12, 3 female, 21 male) with profound sensorineural hearing loss and vestibular impairment. Exclusion criteria included…

All information has been reviewed and is up to date. Article Summary: H.-Y. Chen, H.-Y. Chang, H.-T. Tsao, T.-W. Liu, The Correlation Between Pediatric Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction For Balance (PCTSIB) and Sensory Organization Test (SOT) In Adolescents. Physiotherapy, Volume 101, Supplement 1, May 2015, Pages e224. The purpose of this article, the authors were looking to explore the concurrent validity of the PCTSIB and SOT in young adolescents and rhythmic gymnasts. In the background information the authors identified another study which found poor correlation between these two tests. In a single session , the authors tested 15 female gymnast (15.1 ± 1.7 yr.) and 15 females (15.1 ± 2.1 yr.) age, height and weight matched to the gymnast group, over both the SOT and PCTSIB. The authors measured the SOT by automatically computed equilibrium scores by computer. The results for the PCTSIB were measured manually by taking the time…

I. Descriptive Information Title, Editions, Versions: Sensory Organization Test (SOT) was created in 1982. Head-Shake SOT (HS-SOT) was developed for patients who performed within normal ranges on the SOT, but were still symptomatic of vestibular dysfunction. The Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CTSIB) (’86) & modified CTSIB (’93) were created for clinical assessment of balance, and do not have the technology & monetary requirements like the SOT. The specific protocol for the SOT was written in 1997. Author (s) LM Nashner created the idea of SOT computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) for clinical assessment in 1982. Source (publisher or distributor, address) NeuroCom is the creator of the CDP that is utilized to perform the SOT. Costs (booklets, forms, kit): $80,000-$180,000 (equipment) Purpose Assess quantitative data about visual, proprioceptive and vestibular cues in order to maintain postural stability in stance Type of Test (eg, screening, evaluative; interview, observation, checklist or inventory) Posturography…
