1. Sensory processing abilities of children with ADHD
OBJECTIVE: To assess and compare the sensory processing abilities of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and children without disabilities, and to analyze the relationship between sensory processing difficulties and behavioural symptoms presented by children with ADHD. METHOD : Thirty-seven children with ADHD were compared with

2. Findings on sensory deficits in autism: implications for understanding the disorder
Among the many lines of research related to autism, investigations of sensory dysfunction have recently gained attention. The objective of this article is to briefly review the main findings of sensory deficits in autism, raise possibilities of early identification research in the area, and discuss the significance of these sensory problems for the understan

3. Abnormal sensory integration affects balance control in hemiparetic patients within the first year after stroke
OBJECTIVE: Impairments in balance can be a consequence of changes in the motor, sensory, and integrative aspects of motor control. Abnormal sensory reweighting, i.e., the ability to select the most appropriate sensory information to achieve postural stability, may contribute to balance impairment. The Sensory Organization Test is a component of Computerized

4. Development and assessment of an upper limb hybrid system for quadriplegics / Desenvolvimento e avaliação de um protótipo de sistema híbrido para membro superior de tetraplégicos
Generally, individuals with motor impairments in the upper limbs have difficulties performing the movement of objects, which is essential for the execution of activities of daily living. Thus, these individuals do not perform these activities or perform them inefficiently. Toward satisfactory manipulation, reach and grasp movements of objects performed with

5. A repercussão da equoterapia na estimulação das dimensões da linguagem infantil
Introduction: Equine therapy is a therapeutic method that uses horses as the main instrument for habilitation and rehabilitation in the fields of health and education. By employing horseback riding techniques to promote motor and mental re-education, the equine therapy is used as a therapy to overcome or reduce sensory, motor, cognitive and behavioral impair

6. AUTISM: A SENSORY NATURE DISORDER? / AUTISMO: UM TRANSTORNO DE NATUREZA SENSORIAL?
The diagnosis of autism is based on a triad of impairments that includes communication problems, social impairments and repetitive and restricted patterns of behaviors, interests and activities. Although this diagnosis criterion does not make reference to sensory impairments, evidence arising from autobiographical accounts of high-functioning individuals wit

7. Avaliação do equilíbrio em pacientes hemiparéticos após acidente vascular encefálico / Balance evaluation in hemiparetic stroke patients
Abnormal balance after stroke can be a consequence of changes in motor, sensory and integrative aspects of motor control. The aims of this study were to describe balance impairments in hemiparetic patients with ischemic strokes in the last 12 months compared to healthy subjects, and to correlate observational scores (Berg Balance Scale and balance subscale o

8. Neuromotor and funcional outcomes of patients with sicle cell disease and ischemic stroke / Avaliação neuromotora e funcional de pacientes com doença falciforme e acidente vascular cerebral
Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) have a high risk for stroke with important neurological sequelae. Many authors have been pointing the neuropsychological impairment but not the motor and functional deficits. The aim of this study was to assess patients with (SCD) and stroke comparing with patients with SCD without stroke. We pre-selected patients with

9. Influência das desordens de processamento auditivo na avaliação neuropsicológica de pessoas com dificuldade de aprendizagem
The complaints of learning disability (LD) in school age children and preschoolers have increased significantly in the past few years on the services of clinical neuro-pediatricians requiring more careful diagnostic procedures from part of the multidisciplinary team. This paper has the objective to investigate the influence of auditory processing disorders (

10. CLOSE UP, NO ONE IS ABNORMAL: THE DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITIES OF PEOPLE WITH DEFICIENCY IN EXTENDED EDUCATIONAL TRAJECTORIES / DE PERTO, NINGUÉM É ANORMAL: A CONSTRUÇÃO DISCURSIVA DE IDENTIDADES, EM NARRATIVAS DE TRAJETÓRIAS ESCOLARES LONGAS, DE PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA
This work presents the profiles of identity configuration, of seven people with different congenital impairments (blindness, low vision, cerebral palsy and mielomelingocele), constructed from the narratives of their educational trajectory - from infants education to university. Grounded in a soioconstructivist conception of language, it develops an analysis

11. Ettlinger revisited: the relation between agnosia and sensory impairment.
The concept of agnosia as a higher order functional impairment, which can occur in the absence of low level visual perceptual deficits, continues to provoke debate. This controversy is complicated by the fact that, on close examination, agnosic patients do tend to have some perceptual difficulties. Thus the issue centres around the question as to whether the

12. Motor deficits in patients with large-fiber sensory neuropathy.
The issue of whether brain signals in the absence of peripheral feedback are sufficient to specify accurate movement was evaluated by studying motor performance in patients with loss of somesthetic afferent input as a result of acquired large-fiber sensory neuropathy. With visual guidance, movements and postures were impaired relatively little, but when visu
