简要总结
Different physiotherapy approaches and education programs are applied to minimize motor and mental impairment in children with Down syndrome (DS). The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of two different physiotherapy approaches in babies with Down syndrome in the early period.
A total of 23 babies with DS aged between 0-24 months were included in the study. Infants were randomly divided to two groups: Bobath therapy (BT) group included 12 infants (6 girls and 6 boys) and Vojta technique (VT) group included 11 infants (4 girls and 7 boys). The infants were applied a total of 12 sessions of physiotherapy (twice weekly during 6 weeks). Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used for comparison of motor development level before and after the therapy. Emotional status of the mothers was evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDS) and quality of life was evaluated with Nottigham Health Profile (NHP).

结局指标
主要结局
Alberta Infant Motor Scale
时间窗: 12 weeks
Alberta Infant Motor Scale is a tool which evaluates the infants from baby to independently walking children and measures delay in motor performance, enables families and clinicians to obtain data about motor performance of the infant, compares motor performance before and after therapy. The child is observed when performing spontaneous behaviors with a certain postural control. The scale measures weight transfer, posture and anti-gravity movements at supine, prone, sitting and standing positions with 58 items. The child receives 1 point for the movements he/she can perform and 0 point for the ones that he/she cannot perform. It is a reliable test with norm reference and suitable for clinical use due to taking short time.
