Based on the view of performance assessments, the pattern recognition is combined with the visual surveillance procedures to analyze the posture movements (prone extension and supine flexion) and to diagnose the sensory integration dysfunction of subjects in this study. The major findings of this study are summarized as follows: 1. With good properties in both reliability and validity, the computerized assessment tool for sensory integration clinical observation developed in this study has good performances in diagnosing disorder of sensory integration functions of subjects. 2. The prediction rates for employing the maximum likelihood classifier are best in diagnosing disorder of sensory integration functions in terms of important features of prone extension and supine flexion. 3. The prediction rates for raw data information are best in diagnosing deficits of sensory integration functions in terms of prone extension and supine flexion. 4. Selecting the features of head, hands, and feet can improve the prediction rates in the maximum likelihood classifier in terms of prone extension; selecting the features of head, hands, coordination, and stability can improve the prediction rates in the maximum likelihood classifier in terms of supine flexion. 5. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates that there were statistically significances on year groups in terms of quantity performances of prone extension and supine flexion. The performance of the 5-year olds subjects is better than the 4-year olds subjects. 6. From the 4-year olds to the 6-year olds , ANOVA indicates that there were statistically significances on gender groups in terms of quantity performances of prone extension and supine flexion. The performance of girls is better than boys. 7. Chi-square testing indicates that there were statistically significances on gender groups in terms of quality performances of prone extension and supine flexion. The number of boys with sensory integration dysfunction is much more than girls.
