Brief Summary

Down's syndrome is genetic disorder caused by trisomy 21. Children with Down's syndrome are characterized by awkward movements, gait, increased flexibility of joints, timing of mastering of basic skills, under development of fine motor skills. Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) is a technique that uses interactive games as a physical therapy resource and has shown positive results in cortical reorganization, improving functional mobility, and quality of movement. This is an experimental study in which randomized controlled trials study design is being used.

Conditions

Down's Syndrome; Fine Motor Skills

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The abilhand-kids tool

  The ABILHAND-KIDS tool was developed as a measure of manual ability of children with cerebral palsy. It describes most representative inventory of manual activities. The 21 items of ABILHAND-KIDS defined a valid and reliable manual ability scale. The ABILHAND-KIDS was originally developed by using the Rasch measurement model. It allows to convert ordinal score into linear measure located on unidimensional score.
