Down Syndrome is a congenital disorder resulting from the trisomy of the human chromosome 21, which will determine, among other characteristics, intellectual disability and growth retardation. Reduced muscular strength, cardiovascular capacity, sleep problems, and impaired walking performance are also observed in Down syndrome participants. The estimated global prevalence is around 0.1% of live births. Children with Down's syndrome (DS) often have greater postural sway and delay in motor development. Muscle weakness and hypotonia, particularly of the lower extremities are theorized to impair their overall physical health and ability to perform daily activities. Posture, balance, and movement issues are common in children with Down syndrome. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Lower Limb Fitness Program on dynamic balance and mobility in children with Down Syndrome. This study explore that Lower Limb Fitness Program could improve the dynamic balance and mobility in children with DS.
