SENSORY AND PERCEPTUAL ALTERATIONS

Course overview

SENSORY-PERCEPTUAL ALTERATION CAN BE DEFINED AS WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN OF SENSORY STIMULI, FOLLOWED BY AN ABNORMAL RESPONSE TO SUCH STIMULI. SUCH PERCEPTIONS COULD BE INCREASED, DECREASED, OR DISTORTED WITH THE PATIENT'S HEARING, VISION, TOUCH SENSATION, SMELL, OR KINESTHETIC RESPONSES TO STIMULI. THIS ACTIVITY REVIEWS THE EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF SENSORY-PERCEPTUAL ALTERATIONS AND HIGHLIGHTS THE ROLE OF THE INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM IN MANAGING PATIENTS WITH THIS CONDITION.
