“…Children with Down syndrome have sensory integrative dysfunction as a result of limited sensory experience from lack of normal motor control. Physical, cognitive and sensory integration problems decrease the functional ability of children in activities of daily living 9–11 . Neurodevelopmental approaches, sensory integrative therapy and vestibular stimulation have been used to improve function in children with Down syndrome 8,12–16 …”

“…Sin embargo, y a pesar de los resultados, la investigación concluía aceptando la noción del estereotipo de personalidad, se les infería una idea de identidad común en contraste con los niños de desarrollo típico a los que se les atribuían identidades individuales distintas. Zickler et al (1998) se refirieron a las características únicas de los niños con SD en primera infancia (1-4 meses), para que fueran tenidas en cuenta por las enfermeras que les atendían destacando que, aunque constituyeran un grupo homogéneo, no eran tan diferentes de sus iguales de desarrollo normativo. Collacott et al (1998) confirmaban la existencia de un fenotipo de comportamiento característico en adultos con SD bajo la demanda de mayor investigación al respecto.…”

La cada vez mayor inclusión social, la normalización de contextos y los avances de la investigación han contribuido sobremanera a la mejora de las expectativas de vida y a la participación integral en todos los espacios de la sociedad por parte de las personas con síndrome de Down (SD). Sin embargo, durante décadas la identificación de síntomas psicológicos o psiquiátricos ha resultado una tarea complicada al atribuirse estos como correlatos propios de la discapacidad intelectual. Con este interés, se han revisado las publicaciones científicas desde 1930 hasta 2020, con el propósito de: 1) examinar las investigaciones que, desde la perspectiva de las diferencias individuales, analicen la evolución y los cambios producidos en la concepción del SD y, desde este enfoque, 2) investigar la prevalencia y manifestación clínica de patología dual junto al SD, en población infantil y adolescente. Entre las conclusiones se destaca la necesidad de cambio, por parte de profesionales y familias, para la asunción de la existencia y aceptación del diagnóstico dual que posibilite diagnósticos precoces e intervención psicológica ajustada a esta demanda.

“…In Down syndrome, there is a delay of motor control and sensory feedback leading to physical, cognitive and perceptual limitations which interfere with ADL activities [7] [8] [9]. Long motor reaction time is the most problem facing Down syndrome in performing functional motor skills, programming, and fractionated reaction, leading to high energy consumption and clumsy gross and fine motor skills [10].…”

This work was carried out to investigate the efficacy of sensory integration therapy in improving gross motor coordination and grip control in Down syndrome children. Thirty children were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned into two groups: group A received (sensory integration therapy program plus specific physiotherapy training) and group B received (specific physiotherapy training program only). Motor coordination test measures (Balancing backward, Hopping, Jumping from side to side and Transferring boxes) to test and follow gross motor coordination, handheld dynamometer to test and follow grip control ability and kinesthesia test to test and follow awareness of joint position and movement. These measurements were taken before initial treatment and after 12 weeks of treatment. The children parents in both groups A and B were instructed to complete 3 hours of the home routine program. Data analysis was available on the 30 Down syndrome children participating in the study. The difference between pre-and post-treatment results was more significant in Motor coordination test measures in the study group than the control group. Grip control ability and kinesthesia test demonstrate representative improvement in the study groups (p = 0.0001) while insignificant in the kinesthesia control group and significant in a grip control group. The addition of sensory integration therapy program to specific physiotherapy training is recommended in improving gross motor coordination and grip control abilities in Down syndrome, so this suggested approach may be used as a selective choice for improving posture control and hand functions in Down syndrome children.
