Neurodevelopmental Treatment for Balance and Mobility in Children With Down Syndrome

Sponsor: Istanbul Nisantasi University

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) can improve balance, mobility, walking capacity, and functional independence in preschool children with Down syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does an 8-week Neurodevelopmental Treatment program improve balance performance in children with Down syndrome? * Does Neurodevelopmental Treatment improve mobility, walking capacity, functional independence, and gross motor function in children with Down syndrome? * Are baseline balance performance and age of independent standing associated with treatment-related balance improvements? All participants will receive individualized Neurodevelopmental Treatment based on the Bobath concept twice weekly for 8 weeks. Participants will: * Undergo baseline assessments of balance, mobility, walking capacity, functional independence, and gross motor function * Participate in individualized Neurodevelopmental Treatment sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks * Complete the same outcome assessments following the intervention period The findings may help improve understanding of rehabilitation outcomes and factors associated with treatment responsiveness in children with Down syndrome.
