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

Interventions

OTHER

plyometric exercises

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.

OTHER

dynamic balance group control group

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
