Effect Of Core Stability Exercises and Balance Training in Postural Control Among Children with Down Syndrome

Abstract

Posture, balance, and movement issues are common in children with Down syndrome. Emerging research suggests that balance training may be advantageous for children with Down syndrome, making it a crucial component of physical activity programmes. Objective: to ascertain the impact of balance training and activities for core stability on postural control in kids with Down syndrome. Methods: single blinded RCT study was conducted, in which assessor was kept blind. While taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria, children with Down syndrome were randomly divided into two groups with ages ranging from 5 to 17 years. There were 20 patients in the sample. Exercises for core stability were given to Group 2 and balance training to Group 1. The time between treatments was six weeks. The Comprehensive Rehabilitation facility Chakwal is where the data is gathered. The pre- and post-values of postural stability were measured using the paediatric Berg balance scale. Results: The present results are significantly better in the group B than in the group A. Core stability exercises shows better results than balance training. Conclusion: According to the results of the current study from the data of before the treatment and after the treatment, it revealed a positive change. In the duration of six weeks the core stability exercises were more effective than balance training in developing postural control among children with Down syndrome.

The Effect of Combination of Core Stability Training and Lower Extremity Strength Training on Static Standing Balance Ability in a Child with Down Syndrome

“…Standing is given with the aim of correcting the patient's posture and increasing the strength of the postural muscles and lower extremity muscles. The same study was conducted by Zulfiqar et al (2022) in children with a diagnosis of Down syndrome. In this study, the given of core stability exercise was able to increase the ability of static standing balance and postural control in children with Down syndrome within 6 weeks.…”

Efektivitas Core Stability Terhadap Peningkatan Keseimbangan dan Koordinasi Pada Peserta Lomba Jintot

“…Penelitan lain menjelaskan bahwa core stability dapat memperbaiki keseimbangan pada anak yang mengalami gangguan neurologi atau perkembangan (Akhtar et al, 2017;Zulfiqar et al, 2022). Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi keseimbangan pada anak.…”

“…Latihan core stability dapat meningkatakan atau memperbaiki koordinasi gerak pada sample yang dapat dilihat pada tabel 4 yang menunjukan rerata 4,50 Hal ini menunjukan nilai positif, dimana nilai pada periode 2 lebih besar dari pada periode 2. Penelitian ini juga didukung oleh penelitan (Rini, 2016;Zulfiqar et al, 2022) yang menjelaskan latihan core stability dapat memperbaiki koodinasi gerak dan keseimbangan. Latihan core stability mengutamakan latihan core muscle pada otot perut dan lumbal dimana letaknya pada center of gravity (COG) sebagai penghubung anggota gerak atas dan bawah.…”

Pemberian Trampolin Based SSC Dan Core Stability Dalam Peningkatan Kemampuan Fungsional Anak Down Syndrome

“…Selain itu, meskipun perkembangan fisik mereka agak lengkap, beberapa kemampuan mereka tetap tidak memadai. 14 Saat dilakukan evaluasi didapati pasien sudah dapat melakukan aktifitas seperti merangkak, jongkok ke berdiri dengan bantuan, dan berjalan dengan bantuan terlihat postur cukup baik dibandingkan sebelum mendapatkan intevensi, 15 Maka dari itu pemberian latihan Trampolin based SSC dan core stability memberikan efek peningkatan kemampuan fungsional anak dari segi motorik kasar.…”
