Avaliação do perfil sensorial e abordagem fisioterapêutica na síndrome de landau- kleffner: estudo de caso

Abstract

Introduction: Landau - Kleffner syndrome is a rare disorder in which children with normal motor and intellectual development from three to seven years of age begin a regression of acquired abilities. Objective: The present case study investigated the effects of physical therapy, based on sensory stimulation and sensory profile evaluation, in a 16-year-old male with Landau-Kleffner's syndrome. Method: The sensory profile of Winnie Dunn consists of a questionnaire answered by those responsible, which evaluates the presence of sensory processing disorders. It was applied before and after physiotherapeutic treatment. Results: The subject reached a score of 113 points in the first evaluation and 111 points in the second evaluation, which suggests a deficit in sensory processing. Conclusion: Physical therapy did not obtain satisfactory gains within the evaluation method, with no changes in the individual's score after the physiotherapeutic intervention.
