简要总结
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.
详细描述
This will be a randomized controlled trial. Total sample size of 20 will be divided into control and experimental groups. Control group will be given with the standard physical therapy intervention as a baseline treatment while experimental group will be given with the aerobic exercise along with baseline treatment. Pediatric balance test and the six-minute walk test will be used before and after the intervention. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 26.0 and necessary analysis will be done after checking the normality of data.

结局指标
主要结局
Pediatric Berg Balance Scale
时间窗: 8 weeks
The scale quantifies balance impairments in daily life activities by scoring 0-4 points for the ability to maintain balance while sitting and standing, during 360 degree turns and transfers between juxtaposed chairs, when picking objects from the floor, placing an alternate feet on a stool and leaning forward in a standing position.
6 Minutes Walk Test
时间窗: 8 weeks
The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity Six-Minute Walk Test recommend use of a 30 meter or 100 foot walkway with the length of the corridor marked every 3 meters.
Time Up & Go
时间窗: 8 Weeks
Time up \& go test is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility \& requires both static \& dynamic balance. It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair and sit down while turning 180 degrees Interpretation: ≤ 10 seconds= normal. ≤20 seconds = good mobility, can go out alone, mobile without gait aid. ≤ 30 seconds= problems, cannot go outside alone, requires gait aid. A score of ≥ 14 seconds has been shown to indicate high risk of falls.
