Summary

Conducted as a quasi-experimental study. It involves 22 children aged 6-9 years, recruited from different special education schools, who will participate in supervised balance and weight-shifting exercises for 30-45 minutes, three times a week, over 8 weeks.. Exercises will include seated and standing balance tasks, weight shifting, and all performed on the bubble cushion under supervision. Standardized tools, such as the Pediatric Balance Scale and the Trunk Control Measurement Scale, will be used to assess pre- and post intervention outcomes.

Bubble cushion exercises

Bubble cushion exercises are balance training activities performed on an unstable, air-filled cushion in sitting and standing positions. The unstable surface challenges postural control and activates core muscles, helping improve balance, coordination, proprioception, and trunk stability. Exercises include seated balance tasks, pelvic movements, ball activities, static standing, single-leg stance, reaching, and ball passing, all aimed at enhancing overall postural control in children with Down syndrome.
