Objective To investigate the effects of multisensory stimulation on motor function

developmental level and language competence in children with global developmental delay（GDD）. Methods A total of 113 children with GDD admitted to a hospital in Xuchang from August 2018 to December 2020 were selected as subjects

and were assigned to a control group（n=56） and an observation group（n=57） using the random number table method. The children in the control group received conventional comprehensive rehabilitation training

while the children in the observation group received multisensory stimulation in addition to the conventional training

and patients in both groups received continuous intervention for 3 months. The motor function [Fine Motor Quotient（FMQ）

Gross Motor Quotient（GMQ） and total Motor Quotient（TMQ） scores]

developmental level and language competence of children in the two groups were compared before and after the intervention. Results After the intervention

the FMQ

GMQ and TMQ scores of the children in both groups were higher than those before the intervention

with the observation group higher than the control group

and the differences were statistically significant（P <0.05）. The scores of GMQ

FMQ

adaptability

language competence

and personal-social function were higher in both groups than before the intervention

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05）. After the intervention

the language competence of the children in the two groups was higher than that before the intervention

with the observation group higher than the control group

and the differences were statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion Conventional comprehensive rehabilitation training in combination with multisensory stimulation can effectively improve motor function

developmental level

and language competence in children with GDD.
