PURPOSE
To assess whether a young man with multiple disabilities and minimal motor behaviour would learn to control environmental stimulation using chin movements and a mechanical microswitch.
METHOD
The study was carried out according to an ABAB design in which A represented baseline and B intervention phases. The chin movements controlled the stimulation only during the intervention phases. A 2-month post-intervention check was conducted.
RESULTS
The man increased the frequency of his chin movements, thus increasing the level of environmental stimulation, during the intervention phases. This performance was maintained at the post-intervention check.
CONCLUSION
The use of chin movements is a practical strategy for enabling individuals with minimal motor movements to control environmental stimulation. Future research should examine whether similar types of movements may enable some individuals to control voice-output communication devices.
目的
评估一名患有多种残疾且运动行为极少的年轻男子是否能学会使用下巴动作和机械微动开关来控制环境刺激。
方法
该研究按照ABAB设计进行，其中A代表基线阶段，B代表干预阶段。仅在干预阶段，下巴动作控制刺激。干预后进行了为期2个月的检查。
结果
在干预阶段，该男子增加了下巴动作的频率，从而提高了环境刺激水平。这种表现在干预后检查中得以维持。
结论
使用下巴动作是使运动极少的个体能够控制环境刺激的一种实用策略。未来的研究应探讨类似类型的动作是否能使一些个体控制语音输出通信设备。
