How does it work?

Engaging Two Important Sensory Systems of the Body

The structure is designed to wrap the body evenly and create a predictable sensation similar to a “continuous hug”. The aim is not to restrict the child, but to support a more organised experience of information coming from the body.

Tactile System

The system that perceives touch, pressure and contact between fabric and skin. The smooth inner surface and balanced wrap are designed with this experience in mind.

Simply put: “What do I feel on my skin?”

Proprioceptive System

The system that uses information from muscles and joints to help us understand where the body is and how it is moving.

Simply put: “Where is my body and how is it moving?”

Parasympathetic support

Deep pressure input may support a transition from high arousal to a calmer state.

Body awareness

It may support feedback related to limb position, gross motor coordination, balance and posture.

Sensory overload

Continuous, predictable wrapping aims to support sensory regulation in the presence of intense environmental stimuli.

How it differs from weighted vests

An Approach that Wraps the Body Instead of Adding Weight

Although both approaches may be considered in the context of sensory feedback, the ways pressure is created and distributed over the body are different.

Conventional approach

Weighted vest

Weight may be concentrated in specific areas.
It may create a more pronounced load around the shoulders.
It may feel bulkier and more cumbersome.
Comfort during continuous use may be limited.

SensoryRuns approach

Even wrapping

The aim is to distribute pressure evenly over the body.
Elastic fabric wraps the body from different areas.
It aims to preserve freedom of movement.
It offers a sporty, everyday clothing appearance.

Balanced wrapFlexible responseFitting check

Pressure approach

Precise, Measurable Pressure Control

Compression level is not simply a number. Fabric elasticity, the child’s anatomy, tension created during movement and feedback from the fitting are assessed together.

Torso6–10mmHg

Arms and legs10–13.5mmHg

Values are checked with pressure measurement devices during production and fitting.
Range of motion and overall comfort are observed.
The aim is to maintain the specified target ranges.
The family is informed about the usage protocol and follow-up.

What does the science say?

Research on Static Compression Garments

These are not clinical studies of SensoryRuns. They are examples from the literature that inform the design approach; their findings cannot be generalised to every child or product.

01Sorbonne Université6-week follow-up

Guinchat et al., 2020

A retrospective case series involving 14 individuals with severe autism and significant proprioceptive difficulties examined custom-made full-body compression garments.

Statistical changes were reported in the ABC total score and in irritability, hyperactivity and withdrawal/lethargy subdomains.
Postural sway, scapular deviation, postural alignment and motor course performance were assessed.
Of the 9 participants with a detected profile-view deviation, 7 (77%) showed clinical improvement; normalisation was reported in 5 of these.

02University of Kansas Medical Center14-week study

Mische Lawson et al., 2022

In a study involving children with autism, eight weeks of seamless sensory garment use was tracked using COPM and GAS measures.

Study-specific significant changes were reported in individual participation goals.
Sleep goals included calming, falling asleep and staying in bed.
Dressing goals included choosing clothes, dressing faster and keeping clothes on.

Why is specialist support important? Passive therapy tools should be considered alongside the child’s sensory profile, with use supported by occupational therapist oversight and family education. The SensoryRuns process includes suitability assessment, fitting and parent guidance.

Who may it be considered for?

We Look at Individual Need, Not Diagnosis

In the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder, sensory integration difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other neurodevelopmental differences, it may be considered for sensory feedback, body awareness, movement organisation or participation in everyday activities.

Having a diagnosis does not automatically mean that SensoryRuns is suitable. Equally, not having a diagnosis does not mean there is no sensory need.

Every child is different. Suitability, duration of use and the follow-up plan should be determined through individual assessment.

Information: SensoryRuns does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Product selection and use should be planned through specialist assessment according to the child’s individual needs.
