One of the reasons behind the choice of the topic is that this problem of sensory-motor development in children with physical and mental deficiencies, especially in children with Down syndrome, is not sufficiently known and studied, sensory-motor development representing an important factor in their physical and social development. The reason I chose this theme and the theoretical basis from which I started was to improve the psychomotor behaviors through sensory stimulation. The assumptions we went into the research were: 1. If we use different sensory combination strategies, the Down Syndrome will be able to compensate for the psycho-motor disorders; 2. If we apply sensory stimuli to the Down Syndrome child, then there will be ameliorations of the underlying motor conduction. The research presents a case study of a 6 year and six mouth old child diagnosed with Down syndrome. The location of the study was carried out at the "Delfinul" day center of the Betania Association.

AbstractChildren with Down syndrome (DS) have both strengths and difficulties in speech, language, and social communication. Mental state language—the ability to discuss others' perspectives such as their thoughts, feelings, and intentions—represents a foundational social communicative skill that is delayed in many children with DS, even into the school-age years. The purpose of this article is to review the evidence base on mental state language development in school-age children with DS, focusing in particular on assessment and intervention. We discuss assessment procedures that are both age appropriate and developmentally appropriate for this population. We also present preliminary data highlighting the role of caregivers in supporting mental state language development in school-age children with DS through shared storytelling. We propose that interventions aimed at supporting mental state language development in DS should include a focus on caregiver–child shared storybook reading, even in the school-age years. Therefore, we discuss key considerations for clinicians when teaching caregivers strategies for supporting mental state language and social communication in children with DS.

Background: Disorder of dynamic balance is often found in children with Down syndrome which causes difficulty in maintaining posture against impending disorders. If this is left it will certainly cause problems of further motor development. Purpose: To prove the physiotherapy intervention that can improve dynamic balance among children with down syndrome 7-15 years. Methods: The research is true experimental with pre-test and post-test group design. This study used 24 subjects in 2 groups, group 1 (n=11) given dynamic neuromuscular stabilization on while group 2 (n=11) given perceptual motor program. Divided randomly into 2 groups that is group 1 dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and group 2 perceptual motor program. The exercise is held 3 times a week in 6 weeks. Measurements of this dynamic balance are using sixteen balance tests. Result: The paired sample t-test statistical test in group 1 showed a significant difference with value (p <0.001) on mean before intervention 48.5±5.428 and after intervention 72.75±4.413. The paired sample t-test statistical test in group 2 showed a significant difference with value (p <0.001) on mean before intervention 48.5±5.3 and after intervention 69.42±4.379. Different test between group 1 and 2 using independent sample t-test showed a significant difference with value (p<0.001). Conclusion: The conclusions are dynamic neuromuscular stabilization is better than perceptual motor program in improving dynamic balance among children with down syndrome 7-15 years at Pradnyagama Foundation Denpasar.

In two experiments we investigated the role of continuous concurrent visual feedback in the learning of discrete movement tasks. During practice the learner's actions either were or were not displayed on-line during the action; in both conditions the participant received kinematic feedback about errors afterward. Learning was evaluated in retention tests on the following day. We separated (a) errors in the fundamental spatial-temporal pattern controlled by the generalized motor program from (b) errors in scaling controlled by parameterization processes. During practice concurrent feedback improved parameterization but tended to decrease program stability. Based on retention tests, earlier practice with continuous feedback generally interfered with the learning of an accurate motor program and reduced the stability of time parameterization. Continuous feedback during acquisition degrades the learning of not only closed-loop processes in slower movements (as has been found in earlier studies) but also motor programs and their parameterization in more rapid tasks. Implications for feedback in training and simulation are discussed.

Abstract Aim The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the role of parents of children with Down syndrome (DS) and the role of special education teachers in creating and maintaining oral health behaviors in children with (DS) in primary school in Jeddah. Methods The information was collected through semi-structured interviews with 45 participants, 18 parents and 27 teachers. All interviews conducted in Arabic, then transcription in English, general thematic analysis was adopted in this study. Results A number of barriers related to maintaining good oral health for children are mentioned due to: Saudi lifestyle, routine and cultural standards. Moreover, there was a lack of knowledge related to promoting oral health and children's demand to brush their teeth. A preventable visit to the dentist was not necessary according to the participants, as it was required only when seeking treatment. The teachers agreed on the importance of having a school program to promote oral health and expressed willingness to participate in it; however, they also expressed their lack of knowledge about promoting it. This study concluded that Jeddah residents are keen to maintain the health of their children but do not know the correct ways to do this; moreover, they have some concern about doing so. A number of interventions are needed to improve children's oral health; these interventions need to target parents, teachers and children.Conclusion: the participants showed oral health was something they valued, and confidence for educating children and improving their oral health was low.

Introduction: Down syndrome is a genetic condition arising from three chromosomal abnormalities, namely trisomy 21 (the most well-known); translocation, and/or mosaicism. This chromosome change occurs in the formation of the fetus, in more detail at the time of cell division, which will characterize the signs and symptoms of the syndrome. Objective: The purpose of this article is to research the main scientific findings in the last 10                years regarding physical therapy treatments, to verify the best techniques and their respective results, and to address the role of physiotherapy in the development of children with Down syndrome. Methods: The research only included studies published in the period from 2009 to 2019, systematic review articles and limited the Portuguese and English languages ​​were excluded, excluding all incomplete articles, duplications, abstracts that did not address, and those works that do not have a scientific basis. Results: In this systematic review, it can be seen that the main research results were disseminated and stored in databases (SciELO, Medline, and LILACS), focusing on the study of and DS patients, specifical children in early childhood. There are few studies on down syndrome in adults. Another important aspect is the concentration of research in the field of sports physiotherapy, few studies have focused on other areas of physiotherapy, such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and cognitive physiotherapy, which go in the opposite direction. Conclusion: Physiotherapy for patients with DS can improve the quality and life expectancy of these individuals, but the needs of patients with this syndrome involve some physical, physiological and psychological aspects and require the attention of a multidisciplinary team.
