Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of sensorimotor activities and resistance exercises on balance in children with Down’s syndrome Methodology: 3 special schools were identified in south Bangalore. Permission was taken for conducting the program. Upon screening, children with Down’s syndrome who met the inclusion criteria were included. Unilateral stance time was assessed and baseline values were noted. Intervention program was administered as a supervised group session for 45 min per session twice a week for 3 months. A total of 24 sessions were completed. Balance outcomes were re- assessed after 3 months. Data was analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Ranked Test. Results:Unilateral stance time for both dominant and non dominant legs showed significant difference of p=0.007 and p=0.002 respectively. Conclusion: In children with Down’s syndrome, sensorimotor activities and resistance training are effective in improving Unilateral stance time.
