Brief Summary

In infants with Down syndrome at risk in terms of neurosensory motor development retardation, the level of trunk control can determine the level of trunk control towards motor development in infants with down syndrome. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to adapt the segmental assessment of trunk control scale to Turkish by evaluating the motor development in children with Down syndrome. It is the investigation of validity and reliability.

Down Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Segmental Assesment of Trunk Control

  It is an evaluation method that allows to evaluate the body control as static, active and reactive control, according to the body control levels. Examines the development of trunk control from level 1 (head control) and level 7 (full trunk control).

  20 minutes

• Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88)

  The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is an assessment tool designed and evaluated to measure changes in gross motor function over time or with intervention in children with cerebral palsy. tem scoring is the same for the GMFM-88. There is a scoring system with each item scored as 0, 1, 2, 3, or "not tested". A scoring key of 0 - does not initiate, 1 - initiates, 2 - partially completes, and 3 - completed, is used. High total score represents good development.
