Clinical Trial 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.

Description:

Thirty children were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to two groups: Group A received (sensory integration therapy program and training in physical therapy) and received group B (physical therapy training program only). Motor coordination and balance were assessed before and after exercise for all children using Bruininks - Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency - 2nd Edition.

Intervention

Other:
• sensory integration approach
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
• traditional physical therapy program
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 ).
