Clinical Trial Summary

Different physiotherapy approaches and education programs are applied to minimize motor and mental impairment in children with Down syndrome (DS). The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of two different physiotherapy approaches in babies with Down syndrome in the early period.

A total of 23 babies with DS aged between 0-24 months were included in the study. Infants were randomly divided to two groups: Bobath therapy (BT) group included 12 infants (6 girls and 6 boys) and Vojta technique (VT) group included 11 infants (4 girls and 7 boys). The infants were applied a total of 12 sessions of physiotherapy (twice weekly during 6 weeks). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used for comparison of motor development level before and after the therapy. Emotional status of the mothers was evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDS) and quality of life was evaluated with Nottigham Health Profile (NHP).
