Brief Summary

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

Children had Down syndrome often have impaired balance and postural control and result as less active than their peers that can lead to reduced quality of life and movement skills. Effects of physical activity may be important in preventing falling risk and health consequences in those children

Detailed Description

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

Sixty children from both genders (boys and girls) participated in this study, their ages ranged from 10 to 16 years and they were randomized into three groups of same number (A, B and C). Groups (A) received conventional physical therapy program, group (B) received the same conventional physical therapy program of group (A) and core stability exercises while group (C) received the same conventional physical therapy program of group (A and B) and whole body vibration exercise

Conventional physical therapy group

It consisted of 20 children received conventional physical therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

* Standing with feet together while the therapist was sitting behind and manually locking the child knees.
* Step standing with the therapist behind the child.
* High step standing and trying to keep balanced. The child stood on exercise mattress.
* Single leg stance "unilateral standing" with assistance. The child was standing on exercise mattress.
* Standing on a declined surface by using wedge. The child was standing on wedge towards the descending direction.
* Standing with manual locking of the knees.
* Changing position.
* Gait training.
* Static and dynamic muscle contraction.
