hyposzenzitivitás

Hyposzenzitivitás is a term used to describe a reduced or diminished response to sensory stimuli. This means that individuals experiencing hyposzenzitivitás may not register or react to certain sensory inputs as readily as others. This can affect any of the senses, including touch, sight, sound, smell, taste, and proprioception (the sense of body position).

For example, a person with tactile hyposzenzitivitás might not notice if they are touched or if their clothing is uncomfortable. Someone with auditory hyposzenzitivitás may not hear sounds that others easily perceive, or they might require louder volumes to be stimulated. Visual hyposzenzitivitás could manifest as a lack of response to bright lights or visual cues.

Hyposzenzitivitás is often associated with certain neurological conditions, developmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder, or sensory processing disorders. It can also be a symptom of other medical issues. The impact of hyposzenzitivitás varies greatly from person to person. Some individuals may not experience significant difficulties, while others might struggle with everyday tasks and environmental awareness.

The assessment and management of hyposzenzitivitás are typically undertaken by occupational therapists or other healthcare professionals. Strategies often involve creating environments with increased sensory input or providing tools and techniques to help individuals better engage with their senses. Understanding hyposzenzitivitás is crucial for providing appropriate support and accommodations.
