Abstract

One method of occupational therapy for developmental disordered children is sensory integration therapy. Sensory integration therapy was devised by J.Ayres who is an American occupational therapist, and it is recognized as one of development support means of learning for children with a learning disability, or autistic children. The theory of sensory integration therapy, it is thought there are obstacles to the sense of touch and a vestibular sensation, and a proprioceptive sensation in a background of a learning problem, and the behavior that a developmentally handicapped child shows. We expect that improvement will be seen in problems of learning and behavior by working on the sense directly in therapy. In many cases suspended equipments can be used in a theraputical playground. Vestibular sensation devices can be used for motions or movements such as rolling or turning. Playground equipment that a child can suspend from is an important information tool to evaluate an equilibrium function by function imperfection of the vestibular sensation. However, there is for the present few reports that analyze posture reaction when subjects used playground equipment quantitatively. Therefore use frequency was high in playground suspension equipment and we paid most of our attention to the horse swing that a difference in equilibrium function of a child using objects was easy to ascertain. We developed a device which can control the rolling of a swing with the PC which carried a motor driver and a motor control board, and we examined quantitative evaluation technique of equilibrium reaction with 3D motion analysis.
