This trial compares using a Swiss ball versus Frenkel exercises to improve balance and coordination in children with Down syndrome. It may help children who can stand and walk on their own.
This study tests whether high intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can help children with Down syndrome. Doctors want to see if it improves strength and overall health.
This study tests whether a special walking program (Nordic walking with poles) can help children with Down syndrome improve their balance and leg strength. It may be a good fit for children who can walk but have balance difficulties.
This study tests a fun activity program called 'Minds In Motion The Maze' to see if it helps improve balance and walking in children with Down syndrome.
This study compares two exercise methods to improve balance and walking in children with Down syndrome: one uses gentle motion from a special chair (vestibular stimulation) and the other uses simple foot exercises. If your child takes part, they may improve their balance and daily mobility.
