Effects of Plyometric Exercises on Static and Dynamic Balance of Children With Down,s Syndrome.
Condition: Down Syndrome
MeSH terms: Down Syndrome; Syndrome
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Typically, a baby is
      born with 46 chromosomes. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that causes mild to serious
      physical and developmental problems. Symptoms associated with the syndrome include mental
      retardation, distinctive facial characteristics, and increased risk for heart defects and
      digestive problems, which can range from mild to severe.. Early treatment programs can help
      improve skills. They may include speech, physical, occupational, and/or educational therapy.
      The aim of the the current study is to determine the effects of plyometric exercise on static
      and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome
    

Detailed description: 
      This will be a randomized controlled trail. After approval from ethical committee, data will
      be collected from rising sun institute of special education, Lahore. Total sample size will
      be 20 and there will be two groups. Group A will be given with Standard Physical therapy
      treatment twice a week for 8 weeks. While group B will be given with plyometric exercises
      along with standard physical therapy treatment twice a week for 8 weeks. Patients will be
      evaluated before and after the intervention on Pediatric balance scale, time up and go test,
      five times sit to stand. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 26.0 and necessary analysis will be
      done after checking the normality of data.
    

Intervention name(s): plyometric exercises; dynamic balance group control group
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): Experimental group will be given baseline exercises along with plyometric exercises such as Vertical jump, run and jump, drop jump (jump height between 40 and 50 cm) drop jump and horizontal jump with same height from 3rd week.particepents perform exercises carrying medicine balls. Participants will place their hands on the wall and performed foot stretches with the feet apart, 30 to 50 cm from the wall. Side row, biceps stretch and frontal row. Throwing and receiving, with a distance between 3 to 4 m.; Control group will be given with the standard physical therapy intervention that includes progressive resistance training that will be performed using weights, two sets of 10 repetitions will be given for each muscle group, resistance will be increased by ½ Kg as children are able to complete without undue stresses); balance exercises (stand on a balance board, one-leg stance, heal-to-toes stance, walking on balance board, walking on a balance beam, walking on a line, and walking on the inclined surface); flexibility exercises
Other intervention name(s): Balance
Allocation: Randomized
