Summary

To determine the effect of aerobic exercises on static \& dynamic balance of children in Down syndrome. When a person has Down syndrome, they have an extra chromosome. In the body, chromosomes are discrete collections of genes. They control how a baby's body develops and works both throughout pregnancy and after birth. A newborn typically has 46 chromosomes. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects physical and developmental growth and can cause minor to severe issues. Mental impairment, unusual facial features, an increased risk of cardiac defects, and digestive issues that can range in severity from mild to severe are all symptoms associated with the syndrome.

DEVICE

Cycling

The experimental group will be administered with the cycling exercises in addition to the complete plan of care that is being administered to the control group. The cycling intervention will be performed 3 times per week, for 30 minutes, within a 8-week period

DEVICE

Balance Board

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 (if required);
