Summary

Down's syndrome (DS) is a genetic condition characterized by the presence of an extra chromosome 21, leading to various clinical symptoms. Individuals with DS often experience challenges in balance, posture, and motor skills, which can impact their daily activities. Pilates activities focus on the concept of control of muscles. Pilates increases trunk flexibility, abdominal and core strength and endurance, and deep core muscle activation hence improving balance and posture.
