“…Gheitasi et al [16] and Ghaeeni et al [26] showed the efficacy of core stability exercises, either alone or in combination with the swiss ball or resistance training, in improving static balance. Similar outcomes were reported by Boer et al [17] and Hamed et al [23] regarding aquatic therapy alone or in combination to balance exercises. Further, Eid [25] and Villarroya et al [28] demonstrated comparable findings with whole-body vibration.…”

“…Hamed et al [23] established a statistically significant difference in balance scores due to the hydrostatic pressure of water that in turn reduces the static work, thereby counterbalance the gravity and supports the weight for the assumption of correct posture. Similarly, Boer et al [17] found medium effect sizes for the functional ability and dynamic balance and small effect size for static balance.…”

Down syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal disorders in pediatrics characterized by variable intellectual disability, generalized joint laxity, and hypotonia that compromises their function and causes a delay in developing gross motor skills, poor balance, and coordination. Thus, this study aims to determine the current yet effective treatment approaches to improve balance in the Down syndrome population. The studies were explored across seven electronic databases that include MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, PEDro, and Web of Science from inception till October 2020 comprised of experimental studies published in English language investigating the effects on balance in children and adults diagnosed with DS considering different interventions. A total of 1,570 records were retrieved from seven electronic databases published between the year's tenure of 2013-2020. 144 full-text papers were extracted to be reviewed, of which only 18 experimental studies were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria that involved 493 Down syndrome patients, investigated the effects of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, and patient-related instructions on standardized balance scales/tests. It was concluded that all the included trials demonstrated significantly profound effects in improving the static and dynamic balance of Down syndrome patients. Therefore, none of the interventions is declared as superior to another in terms of obtained results. Furthermore, these diverse interventions need to be investigated more for better understating and generalizability of outcomes.

“…The use of well-known AT approaches was mainly based on the Halliwick approach (20 studies) in various ways, i.e., swimming, treatment, playing individually or in a group [9,10,14,40,41,[43][44][45][46]49,50,52,60,62,63,71,73,[75][76][77]79,83], with one study testing the effects of the Watsu technique along with conventional AT [96]. Twelve studies based their research on swimming or on the promotion of swimming abilities, including various swimming learning programs and the adapted swimming exercises, in groups or individuals [7,50,59,64,65,79,81,89,90,93,98,99]. Four studies examined the effect of walking, running, and aerobic activity in the AE on the participants' functioning [47,48,93,94], and nine other studies examined eight different special therapeutic programs in the AE, with the aim to promote sensation, strength, fitness, communication, and social relations [53,54,56,58,…”

(1) Background: In recent years, reviewing studies of aquatic activities for children with developmental delays has been a complex task due to the multitude of indices and professional languages. (2) Aim: To determine if the ICF-CY framework can be used as the unifying language in AA studies of children with DD. (3) Methods: Part One—A systematic review of selected studies focusing on goals that were found to be positive. These goals were linked to the ICF-CY categories. Part Two—Review of all studies using the ICF-CY’s functioning components. (4) Results: Most of the positive goals were properly linked to ICF-CY and made it possible to review the 71 articles in a uniform language. (5) Conclusions: It is feasible to use the ICF framework as a universal structure and language.
