Sensory Processing Difficulties in Patients with Functional Neurological Disorder: Occupational Therapy Management Strategies and Two Cases

Julie MacLean et al.

Summary: Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a condition that combines neurology and psychiatry, often involving sensory hypersensitivity and difficulties with sensory processing. This article reviews the role of occupational therapy (OT) in managing FND and outlines an outpatient OT program at Massachusetts General Hospital that focuses on sensory-based interventions. The article presents clinical cases demonstrating the effectiveness of individualized sensory-based treatment plans in improving FND symptoms and overall participation in daily activities.

Investigating autonomic biomarkers of sensory processing patterns in young adults

Lachlan Kerley et al.

Summary: This study found that sensory processing patterns in young adults may be linked to patterns of autonomic balance, and this relationship varies by gender, with low sensory thresholds being associated with sympathetic activation in males and increased autonomic reactivity to cold stressor in females.

Interoception: A Multi-Sensory Foundation of Participation in Daily Life

Carolyn M. Schmitt et al.

Summary: This article examines the importance of interoception in the clinical perspective and expands the concept beyond just signals from the viscera. Interoception refers to perceptions of bodily signals and states that construct subjective experiences. It is a complex multidimensional system with bidirectional features, necessary for maintaining homeostasis and adapting to changes in the internal and external environment. Interoception supports both body and mental functions and establishes a sense of safety and well-being crucial for meaningful participation in life.

Occupational and Physical Therapists' Use of Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Strategies During Patient Interactions: A Qualitative Study

Ayana Horton et al.

Summary: This study aims to understand how occupational and physical therapists use intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies during patient interactions. The results showed that therapists used a wide range of strategies, both proactively and reactively, to build and maintain therapeutic relationships and protect themselves. The findings contribute to our understanding of how therapists use emotion regulation strategies to improve patient outcomes.

The involvement of altered sensory modulation in neurological conditions and its relevance to neuro-rehabilitation: a narrative literature review

Batya Engel-Yeger

Summary: This paper discusses the prevalence of altered sensory modulation in neurological conditions and its relationship to clinical symptoms, comorbidities, and severity level. Studies show that altered sensory modulation negatively impacts individuals' daily activity performance, participation, and quality of life. Therefore, neuro-rehabilitation should take into consideration these factors and utilize a multi-disciplinary team, as well as objective and subjective measures, to optimize therapy outcomes.
