Research on the Impact of Gamification Movement on Children With Sensory Integration Disorders

This study aims to investigate the impact of gamified exercise intervention on the sensory integration ability and basic motor skills of children with sensory integration dysfunction. A randomized controlled trial design will be adopted, recruiting 48 children with sensory integration dysfunction and randomly assigning them to three groups: the gamified exercise group, the sensory integration training group, and the regular physical education curriculum group.

Treatment and study plan

Gamified exercise

Behavioral

Students in the gamification group will undergo a 12-week gamification exercise program, with interventions conducted three times a week, each lasting 60 minutes. The main components include warm-up, game segment, and cool-down. Participants' attendance and adherence will be recorded during the intervention period.

Sensory integration training

Behavioral

Students in the sensory integration training group will undergo a 12-week sensory integration training program, with interventions conducted three times a week for 60 minutes each time. The main components include warm-up, sensory integration training, and relaxation. Participants' attendance and compliance will be recorded during the intervention period.

Regular physical education courses

Behavioral

Students in the regular physical education curriculum group will undergo a 12-week regular physical education program, with interventions conducted three times per week for 60 minutes each time. The main components include warm-up, physical activities, and relaxation. Participants' attendance and adherence will be recorded during the intervention period.

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensory integration ability

    Time frame: month 3

    The sensory integration ability of young children was evaluated by measuring their scores on the sensory integration scale before and after the intervention.

  2. Basic motor skills

    Time frame: month 3

    The level of basic motor skills development in young children was evaluated by measuring their performance in completing 13 actions before and after the intervention.

  3. physical fitness

    Time frame: Three months

    By measuring the seven physical indicators of the participants before and after the intervention, including height (in centimeters), 10-meter shuttle run (seconds), standing long jump (centimeters), tennis throw distance (meters), consecutive double jumps (seconds), sit-and-reach test (centimeters), and walking on a balance beam (seconds), their physical health status can be evaluated.

  4. Pediatric Balance Scale，PBS

    Time frame: Three months

    The balance ability of the participants was evaluated by measuring their scores in the balance test before and after the intervention.
