Effect of Neuro Developmental Therapy to Improve Postural Reactions and Motor Milestones in Infants With Down Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating conventional therapy and Neurodevelopmental therapy for Down Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Neurodevelopmental treatments are a progressive therapeutic method experienced thru qualified therapists for the improvement in affected ones. The most important trial in Down syndrome children is motor milestones and postural reactions to develop on time. Neurodevelopmental therapy is applied to accurate atypical postural tone and to enable further regular motion for execution of presentation of abilities. Objective: To determine the effects of Neuro Developmental therapy in improving postural reaction and motor milestones in infants with Down syndrome.

Timeline
Interventions
Range of motion and Resistance training Linear actions are used to regularize extensor muscle tone (Neck extensors, back extensors hip extensors, knee extensors).(49) Postural control exercises Bouncing on gym ball in sitting, kneeling, or standing \- Linear swinging using a platform and swing, glider, hammock, and barrel; swinging in the kneeling, standing, sitting,
Starting Posture * Start and evaluate the supreme effective posture to move from(usually straight) * Reassemble to mid plane (head/trunk) * Neutral position of body (47) Identify the Missing Components Detect starting posture and compare to normal.(47) Neurodevelopmental therapy application : Tonic postural extensor muscle strengthening: Push-pull scooter board games contrary to resistive tubing strips.(48) 2. Developmental movement patterns training: Obstacle crawl, hold swing's ropes in kneeling and half kneeling position, throw balls to aim kneeling and standing position. Manual Cues .Use hands on key points of control to assist normal posture, movement and prevent abnormal posture and movement. Balance and corrective reactions was established by means of ball and tilt board after the development of the skill of li
