Effect of Sensory Integration on Gross and Balance on Children With Down Syndrome

Raheel Sanad40 enrolled

Overview

To investigate the effect of sensory integration on gross motor function in children with Down syndrome. To investigate the effect of sensory integration on balance in children with Down syndrome.

This study will be delimited to: * sixety children with Down syndrome, ranging in age from3 to 5 years. * Children will be divided randomly into two groups of equal number: Control group (Group A) will receive designed physical therapy program and study group (Group B) will receive the same designed physical therapy exercises in addition to sensory integration program. * All children will be assessed by Gross Motor Function Measure Scale (GMFM-88) and HUMAC balance system before and after the intervention.

BALANCE AND SENSORY INTEGRATIONBEHAVIORAL

Participants in the controlled group will receive a designed physical therapy program for 60 minutes,three times per week ,for 3 months. Participants in the study group will receive a designed physical therapy program for 30 minutes followed by a sensory integration program for 30 minutes,three times per week for 3 months. the designed physical therapy will include balance and strengthening exercises on the other hand sensory integration program will include different textured surfaces, vistebular stimulation

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

balance measured by Stability Score of the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance(CTSIB) using HUMAC Balance system

balance will be assessed by the results of stability score of the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CTSIB ) using HUMAC Balance system the stability score will be recorded at four conditions 1\_child stand on stable surface with open eye 2\_child stand on stable surface with closed eye 3\_ child stand on foam surface with open eye 4\_ child stand on foam surface with closed eye

Time frame: 3 monthes

Secondary Outcomes

gross motor function will be assessed by Gross motor function measurement-88 scale

The motor function skills of all children in the study will be measured by Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 scale which is a criterion based observational measure. Standing and walking dimensions only will be selected to be tested

Time frame: 3 monthes
