Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the effect between of whole-body vibration and gravity force stimulation on postural stability in children with Down syndrome.

Conditions

  • Down Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Designed Physical Therapy Program

The designed physical therapy program include gentle stretching exercises, static muscle contraction, facilitation of trunk control from different positions, balance training from different positions on tilting board, facilitation of righting, protective and equilibrium reactions from different positions, facilitation of standing from different positions, gait training and, climbing stairs up and down.

OTHER

Whole-Body Vibration

The designed physical therapy program (mentioned before) \+ Whole-body vibration (WBV) training, child will be asked to stand with slightly flexed knees (30 degrees of knee flexion), and both feet will be placed at an equal distance from the center of the platform to achieve an equal distribution of body weight over both feet. The device will set to produce a peak-to-peak sinusoidal vibration with an amplitude of 2 mm and a vibration frequency ranged from 25 to 30 Hz. WBV will applied for (30 sec. of WBV, 1 min rest, 10 repetitions), (45 sec. of WBV, 1 min rest, 10 repetitions), (60 sec. of WBV, 1 min rest, 10 repetitions) in the 1st, 2nd. and 3rd. months respectively.

OTHER

Gravity Force Stimulation

The designed physical therapy program (mentioned before) \+ Gravity force stimulation child will be asked to maintain his balance on GFS during each of the following positions as a progression (standing and walking on the surface of two beams connecting the two boxes - standing and walking crossly on the surface of one beam connecting the two boxes - standing and walking sideward on the surface of one beam connecting the two boxes - standing and walking on the edge of the two beams - standing and walking on the edge of one beam: most difficult)
