Sensory processing difficulties are common in neurodevelopment conditions, such as developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and can significantly impact daily living activities.
To systematically review the literature to (1) synthesize the characteristics (sections and patterns) of sensory processing alterations in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), (2) compare these characteristics with those of children with typical development or associated comorbidities, and (3) identify which characteristics may be present from early childhood.
This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and was submitted and registered in PROSPERO. The literature search was conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopul, SciELO, LILACS, ERIC, and EMBASE databases. Original studies that evaluated the sensory processing of children with DCD aged 3-12 years using standardized instruments were included.
A total of 2609 studies were retrieved from databases. Of these, five studies that identified sensory processing alterations in children with DCD were included. The most affected sensory characteristics were touch and balance and motion sections, and the avoider pattern, which may present behaviors observed in early childhood. The methodological quality of studies ranged from moderate to high, whereas effect sizes ranged from small to moderate.
This systematic review identified that children with DCD or probable DCD presented sensory processing alterations. Further studies with high methodological quality are needed to recommend the sensory processing characteristics impacting the early identification of DCD.
感觉加工困难在神经发育障碍中很常见，如发育性协调障碍（DCD），并且会对日常生活活动产生重大影响。
系统回顾文献，以（1）综合发育性协调障碍（DCD）儿童感觉加工改变的特征（方面和模式），（2）将这些特征与发育正常或伴有共病的儿童的特征进行比较，以及（3）确定哪些特征可能在幼儿期就已出现。
本系统回顾遵循系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA），并在PROSPERO中提交和注册。在MEDLINE/PubMed、科学引文索引、Scopul、SciELO、LILACS、教育资源信息中心和EMBASE数据库中进行文献检索。纳入使用标准化工具评估3至12岁DCD儿童感觉加工的原始研究。
从数据库中检索到共2609项研究。其中，纳入了5项确定DCD儿童感觉加工改变的研究。受影响最大的感觉特征是触觉、平衡和运动方面，以及回避模式，这些可能在幼儿期就会出现相关行为。研究的方法学质量从中等到高不等，而效应大小从小到中等不等。
本系统回顾确定DCD或疑似DCD儿童存在感觉加工改变。需要开展更多方法学质量高的研究，以推荐有助于早期识别DCD的感觉加工特征。
