普瑞德威利氏症候群成人患者之視覺動作整合表現與職能治療介入成效：前導性研究

Abstract

Objective. This study was attempted to investigate the performance and the effect of occupational therapy intervention via visual-motor integration (VMI), visual perception and motor coordination in adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Methods. seven adults with PWS were included in the study. VMI, visual perception and motor coordination were assessed using the Beery Visual-Motor Integration test and VMI Supplemental tests in the beginning of the study, shortly after receiving the treatment and one month after the intervention. Treatment was scheduled for 2 hour per week for 2 months. Results. Every adult with PWS received a low age equivalent score in VMI, visual perception and motor coordination that was far beyond their physical age performance. As for intervention effect, a positive treatment effect in the motor coordination (p＝0.039) was found in the adults with PWS. No significant improvements were noted in the VMI and visual perception tests. Conclusion. Occupational therapy for visual-motor intervention was effective in improving motor coordination performance, but showed no statistical improvement in the VMI and visual perception abilities of adults with PWS. Further study is needed to clarify the actual effect of visual-motor intervention in aduts with PWS.
