Sensory integration disorder or dysfunction (SID) is a neurological disorder that results from the brain's inability to integrate certain information received from the body's five basic sensory systems. Sensory integration focuses primarily on three basic senses-tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive. The inter-relationship among these three senses allows us to experience, interpret, and respond to different stimuli in our environment. Children with neurological issues have deficits in vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile inputs. The Therasuit™ improves a patient's ability to process vestibulo-proprioceptive input (information arriving to the vestibular system). It integrates and sends information back to muscles, joints and tendons to influence muscle tone, balance, and position of the body in space. By helping to normalize this sensory input, the Therasuit™ can restore normal motor output. Ultimately, the individual is able to interact with his/her environment in more successful and adaptive manners.
