Abstract: Objective To comprehend the characters of sensory integration of children with brain injury and identify the effect of sensory integration training.Methods 127 children with brain injury were determined by the check form of sensory integration, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-China Recension (WISC-CR) and comprehensive function assessment for disabled children. These children were divided into the trial group (n=92) and control group (n=35). All children of two groups received rehabilitation training, but children of the trial group also received sensory integration training. The Results of them were compared before and after rehabilitation.Results The scores of the check form of sensory integration of the children with cerebral palsy were significantly higher than that of children with mental retardation (P<0.01). After rehabilitation training, the raising scores of comprehensive function assessment for disabled children of the trial group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion The ability of sensory integration are abnormal in children with brain injury. The sensory integration training can accelerate the comprehensive function of children with brain injury effectively.
