Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of sensory integration training on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods60 ADHD children were randomly divided into trial group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Children in trial group were treated with sensory integration training besides routine medication, and assessed with Scale for Assessment of Attention Sensory Integration after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, scores of large muscle dis-equilibrium and ill-proprioception increased obviously (P<0.01) ; scores of improper tactile defense and insufficient development of learning ability also increased (P<0.05) compared with pretreatment. The curative effect of trial group was better than that of control group (P<0.05 ).ConclusionOn the basis of medication, sensory integration training can improve the rehabilitation effect of ADHD children.
