Brief Summary

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

Introduction: Core stability exercises and treadmill training play a crucial role in physical therapy interventions and have an effect on balance in children with Down syndromes (DS), whether core stability exercises or treadmill training has more effect on improve balance has not been investigated yet. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of core stability training versus treadmill exercises on balance in children with Down syndrome. Methods: Forty-five children with Down syndrome included in the study. The children aged 4-6 years, and they were equally divided randomly into three groups (A), (B) and (C). Group A received traditional physical therapy intervention strategies to facilitate the balance of participated children. Group (B) received same as the group (A), with additional core stability exercises training. Group (C) received same intervention strategies as group (A) in conjunction with a treadmill exercise program. The children's balance was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale and the Biodex Balance System. Treatment sessions were for 60 min, thrice a week, for eight consecutive weeks.
