About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
A congenital condition known as Down syndrome is typified by an excess of genetic material from chromosome 21, making 47 chromosomes in total. Development of the body and brain may be impacted. About 1 in 700-1100 live births have the condition, and 1 in 700-1100 live births inherit it. Heart disease, hypotonia, ligament laxity, cerebral disabilities, thyroid abnormalities, and metabolic diseases are among the physical, cognitive, and metabolic changes that define it. Reduced performance, increased energy consumption, and altered gait patterns are frequently the results of motor disorders. This study intends to ascertain the effects of whole body vibrations (WBV), an activity that has been recommended for individuals with Down syndrome, on gait parameters and postural control in children with this condition.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Whole body vibration therapyTreatment being tested
Experimental group will receive whole body vibrations while sitting. Walking in all directions,
- Routine physical therapyOther group
Group B will be the only one performing routine physical therapy (RPT). Stretching exercises will be part of these regular workouts. Walking in all directions,
