Effect of Whole Body Vibration Versus Core Stability Exercises on Balance and Muscle Strength in Children With Down Syndrome

NCT06036069 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/004335
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 60

Brief Summary

Children had Down syndrome often have impaired balance and postural control and result as less active than their peers that can lead to reduced quality of life and movement skills. Effects of physical activity may be important in preventing falling risk and health consequences in those children

Conditions

Down Syndrome

Keywords

Children; Core Stability Exercises; Down Syndrome; Whole Body Vibration

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Biodex Balance System

  it is a reliable and objective assessment in order to quantify dynamic balance

  before intervention and after 12 weeks of intervention

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Hand-held dynamometer

  before intervention and after 12 weeks of intervention

Study Arms (3)

Conventional physical therapy group

EXPERIMENTAL

It consisted of 20 children received conventional physical therapy

Other: Conventional physical therapy

Core stability exercises group

EXPERIMENTAL

It consisted of 20 children received conventional physical therapy and core stability exercises

Other: Conventional physical therapy

Whole body vibration

EXPERIMENTAL

It consisted of 20 children received conventional physical therapy and whole body vibration exercises

Other: Conventional physical therapy

Interventions

Conventional physical therapy OTHER

* Standing with feet together while the therapist was sitting behind and manually locking the child knees. * Step standing with the therapist behind the child. * High step standing and trying to keep balanced. The child stood on exercise mattress. * Single leg stance "unilateral standing" with assistance. The child was standing on exercise mattress. * Standing on a declined surface by using wedge. The child was standing on wedge towards the descending direction. * Standing with manual locking of the knees. * Changing position. * Gait training. * Static and dynamic muscle contraction.
