Rebound therapy for breathing in Down syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of therapy using a trampoline (called rebound therapy) can help improve breathing and lung function in children with Down syndrome. It may help your child breathe better and get stronger.
