This study aimed to compare sensory processing skills and occupational performance between participants with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls. Eighty participants were enrolled in this study, 40 with multiple sclerosis and 40 with healthy controls. Participants were between 18 and 65 years of age and asked to complete the Adult Sensory Profile, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. The findings of the study revealed that participants with multiple sclerosis had a lower ability to register sensory input, a higher sensory sensitivity, and avoidance, as well as lower levels of performance and satisfaction in their daily occupations, compared to the healthy controls ( < 0.05). People with multiple sclerosis often experience difficulties with sensory processing and occupational performance in daily life. More research and practice are needed on the role of sensory processing and occupational performance in daily life in people with multiple sclerosis.
本研究旨在比较多发性硬化症患者和健康对照组之间的感觉处理技能和职业表现。本研究纳入了 80 名参与者,其中 40 名患有多发性硬化症,40 名健康对照组。参与者年龄在 18 至 65 岁之间,要求他们完成成人感觉量表和加拿大职业表现量表。研究结果表明,与健康对照组相比,多发性硬化症患者的感觉输入登记能力较低,感觉敏感性和回避性较高,日常职业表现和满意度较低(<0.05)。多发性硬化症患者在日常生活中经常会遇到感觉处理和职业表现方面的困难。需要进一步研究和实践多发性硬化症患者日常生活中的感觉处理和职业表现的作用。
