Brief Summary

In the study, sensory processing skills of 1-year-old preterm and term children will be evaluated. The relationship between sensory processing skills and gross and fine motor development will be investigated.

Conditions

Preterm Birth; Sensory Processing Disorder; Motor Delay

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Test of Sensory Functions in Infants TSFI

  The Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) is a standardized and reliable tool designed to evaluate the sensory development of infants aged 4-18 months. Consisting of 24 items, the TSFI measures reactions in five distinct subdomains: tactile deep pressure, visual-tactile integration, adaptive motor function, ocular motor function, and reactivity to vestibular stimulation \[1\]. A specific age-normalized score is generated for each subdomain, contributing to a total score determined by the sum of all subdomains. The total score ranges from 0 to 49, with higher scores indicating more typical sensory responsiveness and lower scores suggesting behaviors associated with sensory over-responsivity \[2\]. In this study, a physiotherapist administered the TSFI to assess the sensory development of infants.
