Brief Summary

Down syndrome can be characterized by global mental and physical dysfunction or isolated gait, cognition, growth, or sensory disturbances. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the sensory integration approach on improving balance and motor coordination in children with Down syndrome.

Conditions

Down Syndrome

Keywords

trisomy 21, Neurodevelopmental disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• balance

  measured by using BOTS scale

  6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• coordination

  6 months

Study Arms (2)

study group

EXPERIMENTAL

receiving sensory integration approach

Other: sensory integration approach

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

receiving conventional physical therapy

Other: traditional physical therapy program

Interventions

sensory integration approach OTHER

Sensory integration refers to how the nervous system receives messages from multimodal sensory information systems to maintain balance, posture, and balance by monitoring head movement and stabilizing the eyes about the environment

study group

traditional physical therapy program OTHER

conventional physiotherapy training programs such as the following: 1)Hand function training by locating the Grading of the hand and training this level until it is well developed to transfer to the next level according to 8 parameters (partner's height-shape-weight-texture -reaction time-speed-accuracy-number of trials). 2\) equilibrium training by promoting posture reaction. 3)ADL activity training (nutrition training-dressing training-toilet training). 4) Functional skill training through walking (walking on sand, weight on legs, and Climbing stairs ).
