Brief Summary

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

Neurodevelopmental treatments are a progressive therapeutic method experienced thru qualified therapists for the improvement in affected ones. The most important trial in Down syndrome children is motor milestones and postural reactions to develop on time.

Neurodevelopmental therapy is applied to accurate atypical postural tone and to enable further regular motion for execution of presentation of abilities. Objective: To determine the effects of Neuro Developmental therapy in improving postural reaction and motor milestones in infants with Down syndrome.

Detailed Description

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

This study was a randomized trial design. This study was conducted in Rehab Care Physiotherapy Department. 20 Children with Down syndrome meeting the predetermined inclusive and exclusive criteria were arbitrarily allocated into dual batches through convenient sampling technique. The first batch which was the experimental group was given Neurodevelopmental therapy and the duration of the treatment comprised of 1.5 hour, three days a week for 6 weeks. The second group which was the control group received conventional therapy and the period of the ministrations comprised of 1 hour, with 10 repetition 3 sets for each muscle three days a week for 1.5 months, Pre-assessment and post-assessment was evaluated through Gross motor function-88. Recorded values were analyzed through SPSS.

(Neurodevelopmental therapy)

Starting Posture Start and evaluate the supreme effective posture to move from(usually straight) Reassemble to mid plane (head/trunk)

•Neutral position of body Identify the Missing Components Detect starting posture and compare to normal.

Neurodevelopmental therapy application :

Tonic postural extensor muscle strengthening:

Push-pull scooter board games contrary to resistive tubing strips.

Developmental movement patterns training:

Obstacle crawl, hold swing's ropes in kneeling anhalf kneeling position, throw balls to aim kneeling and standing position. Manual Cues .Use hands on key points of control to assist normal posture, movement and prevent abnormal posture and movement. Balance and corrective reactions was established by means of ball and tilt board after the development of the skill of sustaining exercise positions in children.4.
