The study will be randomized clinical trial. Data will be collected from City hospital, Mirpur AJK. Total thirty two subjects will be assigned randomly by using lottery randomization into two groups. Inclusion criteria for the study will include patients diagnosed with Down syndrome, age between 8 to 13 years, patient able to understand instructions necessary for intervention, independent standing and walking abilities. Patient with any heart deficit, visual or hearing disorder, mobility impairment and instability of atlantooccipital joint will be excluded. Group A will receive cognitive-motor training while group B will receive Pilates exercises. Treatment session will be of 8 weeks. Peadriatic balance scale and trunk control measurement scale will be used to assess postural stability. Measure will be taken at baseline and at the end of treatment session. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.00.If data be normally distributed then parametric if not normally distributed than non-parametric.Read full original descriptionShow less
