Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be conducted to investigate and compare the effects of Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) and Conductive Education (CE) on fine motor skills, activity, and participation limitations in children with DS. Children with DS aged 7-18 years will be included. Both CO-OP and CE interventions will last 12 weeks and be conducted for 2 sessions per week in the cross-over randomized study. Following 12-week wash-out period, interventions will be changed for each group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Down syndrome (DS) is a chromosomal anomaly characterized by the presence of an extra copy of genetic material on the 21st chromosome. Sensory, motor, cognitive and perceptual impairments can be seen in children with DS. These impairments probably affect the development and learning of their various fundamental and complex actions. Those children experience decreased motor proficiency, reduced social participation and lower life quality.

Fine motor skills are important for children's everyday functioning such as dressing, feeding, bathing, holding objects, cutting etc. In addition, fine motor skills are related to cognitive, social and academic abilities in children.

This study will be conducted to investigate and compare the effects of Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) and Conductive Education (CE) on fine motor skills, activity, and participation limitations in children with DS. Children with DS aged 7-18 years will be included.

Random allocation software will be used to assign CO-OP or CE to participants. Both CO-OP and CE interventions will last 12 weeks and be conducted for 2 sessions per week. Both intervention will be applied as groups including 3-4 children. Following 12-week wash-out period, interventions will be changed for each group. Two meetings before and during the study will be done in order to inform parents about the interventions and their effects. Another investigator who is blind about the groups will conduct the assessments before and after both first and second treatment durations so 4 assessments will be done in total. At the end of whole treatment schedule, a satisfaction form will be asked from the parents for feedback about both interventions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

CO-OP

Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is a top-down approach. This programme will be conducted as a small group. Each group will averagely have 5 children. The primary investigator will conduct the programmes. It will be one hour session, twice a week, 12 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CO-OP

Intervention Type OTHER

Interventions (from top to down) related to the development of fine-motor skills

Conductive Education

Conductive Education is a down-top approach. This programme will be conducted as a small group. Each group will averagely have 5 children. The primary investigator will conduct the programmes. It will be one hour session, twice a week, 12 weeks.
