Deep Pressure Proprioception Touch Technique

Children with autism tend to have hyperactivity, children will tend to be difficult to control. This is certainly an issue when children are in vehicles, especially cars. There are some events related to the automobile accident caused hyperactivity of children with autism. When the children in the car tends to move on, even disturb concentration the driver. Not many safety features on the car is intended for children with autism. Research safety equipment as well as therapeutic tools for children with autism that will be done is a autism car seat. This tool serves as an extra seat that is able to bind to safely and comfortably seat a child with autism to a primary car seat. This tool is also able to provide autism therapy with the principles of deep pressure when used, generating deep pressure with adjustable pressurized balloon. The tool is attached directly to the car seat with a harness, and then the car safety belt is used as the main security of these devices. Design tools for autism car seat through stages: preparation of product definition and technical specifications autism car seat , the design of a product concept for autism car seat, designing products for autism car seat , as well as preparation of documents for the manufacture of autism car seats

Deep Pressure

Responses of 331 individual medial articular nerve fibers innervating the cat knee joint were tested to bending the joint over its entire range and to pressing on the tissues of the joint. The 331 fibers were classified into five groups on the basis of their discharge characteristics: slowly adapting (64), phasic (103), Pacinian corpuscle-like (12), weakly activated (39), and nonactivated (113). Five of the slowly adapting and all twelve of the Pacinian corpuscle-like receptors responded at intermediate joint angles. The remainder responded, if at all, only near the extremes of joint bending or twisting. Many of these same receptors could be activated by pressing about the knee. Sometimes gentle pressure on the focus sufficed to produce a vigorous discharge. The properties of these receptors are considered to be consistent with the hypothesis that articular mechanoreceptors do not signal joint angle but are involved in deep-pressure sensations.
