简要总结
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.
详细描述
The study will be randomized controlled trial used to evaluate the effectiveness of pilates on posture and balance in children with down's syndrome. Subjects with down's syndrome meeting the pre-detremined inclusion and 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+ Pilates.

结局指标
主要结局
Pediatric Balance Scale
时间窗: 12 weeks
This tool is used for assessing change from baseline. The PBBS is easy to administer, does not require specialized equipment, and can be completed in \<20 minutes. A 0 to 4 grading scale provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of performance. It involves 14 mobility tasks, with the tasks varying in degrees of difficulty. The tasks are divided into 3 domains: sitting balance, standing balance, and dynamic balance. PBS has high validity and reliability of 0.98. 41-56= low fall risk, 21-40= medium fall risk, 0-20=high risk
