Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Gait Parameters and Postural Control in Children With Down Syndrome
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.
• Ages 5-12
• Both sexes are chosen
• Children with Down syndrome older than 5 who are more knowledgeable about the exercise to be done are given preference.
