Loss of functioning and age-related health problems tend to appear earlier in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) than in their non-disabled peers and due to this people with ID who are in employment tend to need to retire earlier, producing social, economic and health problems. The Feldenkrais method (FM) is a movement-based form of learning that enhances body balance and physical functioning. We hypothesized that the FM could be helpful to improve balance and functioning of employed people with ID.

Primary | CHANGE FROM BASELINE PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE MEASURED BY SPPB (SCORE) AT 30 WEEKS | The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a composite score of performance (0-12) based on 3 functional tasks. On each task, subjects can score between 0-4, with the higher values representing the best performance. Walking speed at a 4 m course is timed. Chair rise represented the time to complete 5 chair rises as quickly as possible. As a balance measure, standing balance score is used with responses ranging between 0-4. The sum of above mentioned three tasks provides the total SPPB score. Based on their subsequent risk for disability, mobility limitations have been characterized as being mild (score =10), moderate (score 7-9), and severe (score 4-6). | Participants are assessed at baseline (1 week before the intervention) and at 30 weeks. | |
Secondary | Body height (cm) | Body height is measured (in cm) using a stadiometer (Marsden, T-226, UK) with the participant standing, wearing no shoes. | Participants are assessed at baseline (1 week before the intervention) and at 30 weeks. | |
Secondary | Body weight (kg) | Body weight is measured using a digital floor scale (Tanita, HD-314w, USA) with participants wearing light clothes and no shoes. | Participants are assessed at baseline (1 week before the intervention) and at 30 weeks. | |
Secondary | CHANGE FROM BASELINE STABILOMETRY (MM) (MM2) AT 30 WEEKS | Postural control is assessed with a static stabilometric platform (Winposture, Medicapteurs, FR) at an acquisition frequency of 50 Hz. Participants are asked to stand as still as possible with the eyes opened and bare foot during 60 sec. In order to ensure the same foot position for all the subjects, they are placed on the platform using a plastic device provided with this. Participants were instructed to look straight ahead at a mark placed onto the wall 2 m away at eye level. Data collection is initiated after participants adopted the required posture on the platform, stabilized their postural sway and signalled the experimenter that they are ready to begin. For security reasons, an assessor remains near the participant without touching or providing additional instructions during the test. Displacements of the centre of gravity are expressed in terms of sway area (mm2) and path length (mm). | Participants are assessed at baseline (1 week before the intervention) and at 30 weeks. |
