简要总结
Down syndrome is a condition in which a child is born with an extra copy of their 21st chromosome hence its other name is trisomy 21. The hallmarks of Down syndrome are mental retardation, hypotonia and characteristic phenotype features. Balance is one of the major issue. Action observation therapy focus on the concept of balance improvement.
详细描述
The study will be randomized controlled trail used to evaluate the effectiveness of Action observation therapy on balance in children with down syndrome. subjects with down syndrome meeting the inclusion exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using non-probability sampling technique. Assessment will be done using Pediatric balance scale(PBS) and Timed up and go test(TUG) . Control group will receive regular physical therapy with balance training and experimental group will receive regular physical therapy + Action observation therapy.

主要结局
Modified Timed up and go test
时间窗: 6 weeks
The timed UP \& GO (TUG) test was developed by Podsiadlo and Richardson in 1991 that is used to assess dynamic balance during the performance of a task. This test measures in second the time required for an individual to stand up from a standard chair with armrest, walk 3m and turn around with reliability and validity of (ICC=0.98; p\<0.01).
Pediatric berg balance scale
时间窗: 6 weeks
Pediatric balance scale is a modified version of berg balance scale that is used to assess functional balance skills in children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points It has good reliability and validity with (ICC=0.997) (r=0.797, p \<0.05).
