About this trial
This randomized clinical trial compares the effects of aquatic therapy and conventional sensory room intervention on adaptive neural responses and sensory-motor praxis in children with Monochannel Sensory Processing Disorder. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups. Outcomes related to sensory processing, sensory-motor praxis, and adaptive responses will be evaluated before and after treatment. The study aims to determine whether aquatic therapy provides additional benefits compared with conventional sensory room intervention in improving sensory integration and functional performance in affected children.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Children aged 4-8 years with a confirmed diagnosis of monochannel sensory processing disorder.
Disqualifiers
Medical Instability: Any acute illness, fever, or infectious diseases (e.g., ear infections or open wounds) that contraindicate pool therapy.
Neurological Risks: Children with uncontrolled seizures or epilepsy that poses a safety risk in an aquatic environment.
Severe Phobia: Extreme fear of water (hydrophobia) that prevents active participation in aquatic exercises.
Recent Surgery: Any recent surgical interventions (orthopedic or neurological) that have not yet reached full clinical clearance for physical activity.
