About

Down syndrome occurs due to abnormal cell division of extra chromosome 21. It is a genetic disorder that causes postural un stability, leads to poor foot function and causes them difficulty that they can't fulfill their daily life activities and can't be independent. Strengthening exercise of lower limb and core strengthening of trunk muscle will provide postural stability and lower limb strengthening. Aim of this research is to determine the effects of manual Ankle rocking training on postural control and foot function in children with Down syndrome. Those who are diagnosed with down syndrome and are between age 8-15 and both of the genders are included in this research and those who have any surgical issue, visual impairment and musculoskeletal contractures are not included in the study we will use static standing balance test to check postural control and foot function index for Ankle rocking training from two group in which one will be given the baseline treatment of lower limb exercise and core strengthening with ankle rocking training and the other group without ankle rocking training and then the collected data will be analyzed by SPSS. 22
