This research was conducted to see the correlation between changes of ankle Joint Position Sense and Sway Area through Unstable Surface training. For the study, 48 healthy males and females were randomly divided into an unstable surface group(n=24) and a stable surface group(n=24). Then, they were asked to carry out the same exercise program three times a week for six weeks. The unstable surface group and stable surface group performed the exercise program on the balance exercise pad and on the hard ground, respectively. As a result, the unstable surface group displayed significantly reduced error of ankle joint position sense and sway area(p<.05). Moreover, a significant correlation between variances of ankle joint position sense and sway area was only found in the unstable surface group. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between changes of ankle joint position sense and sway area through proprioceptive sense training on the unstable surface.

Objective : The aim of this study is to verify the effects of group sensory integrative intervention for sensory motor ability, behaviors in children with developmental delay. Method : The subjects were five children with developmental delays aged between 3 and 5. All Children participated in 26 sessions of group sensory integrative intervention. Children' behavior during testing was observed to assess the sensory motor ability, behaviors, the clinical observation. One group pretest- posttest design was used to verify the effect of group sensory integrative intervention. The observed children' behavior during testing were tested by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test. Results : There is no significant difference in the clinical observation between pre and post intervention. However, subjects showed the significant difference in Social interaction(Z=-2.121, p=.034), Attention(Z=-2.032, p=.042), total score in Behavior during testing(Z=-2.032, p=.042). Conclusions : The result in this study suggested that the sensory integrative intervention is effective in facilitating the social skills and improving the attention and behaviors. On the other hand, there is no effect in sensory motor ability. It is difficult to generalize the conclusion because the number of the subject was limited and the environmental confounding factors has not been controlled. Therefore, it is needed to supplement these limitations in the future study.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a sensory integration intervention to improve sleep quality in adults. Methods : The subjects of the study were three sleepless adults with sensory defensiveness. This study applied a multiple baseline design out of a single-subject study, with the process comprising 4 basic lines, 7 basic lines, and 14 basic lines. The intervention was conducted 3 times per week for a total of 12 times. Overall sleep time, sleep latency, and the number of times that participants awoke at night were measured during every session. Sleep quality, sensory integration capabilities (including sensory defensiveness), and sleep satisfaction were measured before and after treatment. Results : A visual analysis of total sleep time, sleep latency, and number of waking times during the night as measured daily after the sensory integration intervention was applied showed no noticeable improvement in any of the subjects. Conclusion : This study is meaningful in that it applied a sensory integration intervention to adults and proposed sensory integration therapy as a new method of intervention to treat sleep disorders.

착의행동을 일으키는 전단계의 감각으로서 국소의 냉감각과 체표 각 부위에 있어서의 냉점분포에 대하여 측정을 하였다. 피험자는, 냉점분포 측정에 한국인 여자 대학생 30명, 냉감각측정에는 한국인과 일본인 여자 대학생 8명을 대상으로 하였으며, 환경조건은 실온 $29^{\circ}C{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 $55{\pm}5\%$의 인공기후실로 하였다. 냉자격으로서는 $0^{\circ}C$의 냉각이 사용되었으며, 측정부위는 냉점분포 측정의 경우 체표 20부위, 냉감각 측정의 경우 체표 13부위로 하였고 측정결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 체표면의 냉점분포 밀도는 부위에 따라서 다르며, 체간부와 두부는 냉점분포 밀도가 높고 말단부에 갈수록 그 분포가 낮아졌다. 특히 가장 민감한 부위는 복부였다. 즉 체간부와 두부는 중핵온을 일정하게 보지하므로서 중핵부 체내온의 변화를 방어하기 위한 온도 수용 부위로서의 역할을 하고 있으며, 말초부는 냉점분포가 낮아서 기온에 따라 체표온(외각온)을 광범위하게 변화시키는 사지부의 온도정보입력의 역할을 담당하고 있다고 하겠다. (2) 각 부위에 있어서의 냉감각 순위는 일본인과 한국인 피험자간에 고도의 상관(r=0.93)이 보여져, 양 피험자군간에 차이는 볼 수 없었다. 3) 냉점분포 밀도가 높은 부위인 복부는 냉감각도 가장 민감하였으며, 냉점분포 밀도가 낮은 하퇴부는 냉감각 감수성도 낮게 나타났다. (4) 발바닥과 손바닥은 냉감각을 민감하게 느끼는 부위임에도 불구하고 냉점분포 밀도가 낮게 나타났으며, 이는 특수성이 있는 부위로서 주목되어지는 결과라고 하겠다.

인간은 두뇌의 일부를 이용하여 감각 정보를 수집하고 이에 대한 분석 및 판단을 행한 후에 행동을 취하는 일반적인 과정에 의해, 느끼고 생각하고 말한다. 이런 일련의 과정은 신경생리학적으로 밝혀진 바에 의하면, 대뇌의 시상에 분포한 일차 감각영역에서 감각 정보를 수집한다. 수집된 감각 정보는 과거 기억과의 비교를 통해 인식되고 인식된 정보는 일차 운동영역으로 전달되어 행동으로 나타난다. 수집된 감각 정보를 판단하는 기관은 감각 연합 영역으로 알려져 있으며, 과거 정보를 통해 비교하여 판단하는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 신경회로망의 적응적 학습 기법을 통해 입력된 감각 정보에 대한 추론 과정에 감정의 변화를 고려하는 학습 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 감정을 고려하지 않은 경우에 비해, 동일한 감각 입력에 대해 감정에 따라 차별화된 행동을 결정할 수 있는 학습 모델을 설정함으로써 단순한 감각 정보 처리의 차원을 극복하고자 한다.

Objective : This study examined the effects of vestibular sensory integration on the sensory processing, problem behavior, and auditory behavior in children who had cochlear Implants. Methods : This single-subject AB study was conducted for 11 weeks from August to November 2019 with three children with cochlear implants. A pre-test measure of each child's sensory processing and auditory behavior was recorded with the baseline on operationally defined behavioral problems as four incidents during 40 minutes of free play with an occupational therapist. The treatment period was 15 40-minute sessions of vestibular sensory integration. Behavioral problems were monitored and recorded during each treatment session. Once treatment was complete, a post-test was conducted on the children's sensory processing and auditory behavior. Results : The sensory processing and auditory behavior of all three participants improved after the vestibular-focused sensory integration, and diverse problem behaviors showed decreasing trends during the interventions. Conclusion : Vestibular sensory integration leads to positive changes in the sensory processing, problem behavior, and auditory behavior of children with cochlear implants.
