“…However, children in the DS and CP groups, besides intellectual impairment, had specific neuromuscular characteristics according to their pathology, which may have influenced more discrete results, but still significant for children with DS.According to the literature, DS is distinguished with a picture of global hypotonia25 and CP frequently with spasticity associated with hypertonia and hyperreflexia 5,26,27 , which directly influence motor and sensory skills such as motor coordination, balance, postural control, and spatio-temporal organization 6,[27][28][29][30]…”

Objective: To evaluate the functional balance of children with sensory impairments submitted to hippotherapy. Methods: 24 children of both genres equally participated in three groups: cerebral palsy (CP), Down syndrome (DS), and intellectual disability (ID) with the respective age groups (10.71 ± 2.69 years), (12.83 ± 2.64 years), and (11 ± 1.69 years).There were 15 attendances in hippotherapy with riding materials specific to each group. The Pediatric Balance Scale (EEP) was used before the 1st and after the 15th hippotherapy session (pre and post moments) to assess functional balance. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk tests (normality), Bartlett test (homogeneity), and, between the pre- and post-care times, the paired t-test (intra-groups) and ANOVA with Bonferroni's multiple comparison tests (between groups), with statistical significance for p < 0.05. Results: in the post-attendance, there was an increase in the EEP score for the three groups (intra groups) with significance for children with ID (p = 0.003) and DS (p = 0.033); the CP group had a lower score (inter groups) in both times, pre (p = 0.003) and post (p = 0.002) attendance. Conclusion: hippotherapy contributed to the functional balance of children with distinct sensory impairments, according to the clinical diagnosis and riding material specific to the group, thus being able to be considered a therapeutic method with relevant benefits regarding the sensory aspects of the population.

“…Considering that the equilibrium and walking ability of ordinary developing kids improve during growth, while children with DS remain shallow despite independent walking. However, the development cycle follows similar characteristics of people without DS (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7).…”

“…Balance is one of the critical factors that affect the safety and independence skills of children with DS (2). This is fundamental for independent gait and motor coordination, and problems affect the construction of the body scheme (6). Such issues, referring to balance, may be related to muscle hypotonia, ligament laxity, flat foot, cerebellar hypoplasia (1,9,12,13), in addition to the small brainstem (9) and impaired vision and hearing, which are striking features in children with DS.…”

Background.It is observed that dance delivers a valuable contribution to the development of bodily motor functions. Objectives. To evaluate the static and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome -DS enrolled in a Dance Workshop for people with disabilities. Methods. Balance tests proposed by Oliveira (2009) were used on 14 children with DS aged between 8 and 12 (mean 9.36 ± 1.2 years.). Who has been practicing dance for not less than two years? A Control Group was formed with 14 children with DS who do not dance with the same age group (mean 9.43 ± 1.09 years). Results. While the maximum effect of the proposed tests is 12 points and 42.08% of the sample obtained a score below 5. It is considered relevant the percentage of 57.13% of the participants to have scored five, six, or seven. It can be stated that dance proved too significant a considerable means of stimulating balance development in children with DS. It was considering the results regarding the CG that pointed to 42.25% of the sample with a score of zero and 57.25% with a rating of 4, 3, or 2. Conclusion. The constant and systematic dance practice can present a considerable development in the balance of children with DS. This favors their inclusion and permanence in physical exercise and sports programs.

“…A SD caracteriza-se por ser uma alteração genética citada pela primeira vez no ano de 1866, sendo sua causa a trissomia do cromossomo 21. Contudo, ela pode ser causada também por uma disfunção genética ou pela translocação deste cromossomo, porém esses casos são mais raros (Trindade & Nascimento, 2016). O diagnóstico da SD baseia-se em sinais e sintomas, sendo sua comprovação realizada pelo estudo cromossômico.…”

Objetivo: Apresentar evidências científicas com base em revisão sistemática da literatura (PRISMA) sobre as possíveis dificuldades da amamentação em crianças com Síndrome de Down (SD). Metodologia: A busca de artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs, Pubmed, Scopus, Bireme e Web Of Science, não houve restrição de localização, período e idioma. Para a seleção dos estudos foi utilizada a combinação baseada no Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeSH). Foram inclusos na pesquisa quatro estudos que obtiveram pontuação ≥ a 6 pontos segundo o protocolo para pontuação qualitativa proposto por Pithon et al. (2015). Resultados: Os estudos demonstram que em sua grande maioria, mães de bebês com SD apresentam conhecimento sobre o benefício do aleitamento materno exclusivo para neonatos com esse tipo de síndrome, contudo alguns fatores impedem a realização da amamentação, sendo que os mais citados são internação na unidade neonatal, frustração ou depressão, insuficiência de leite percebida e dificuldade de sucção, além da falta de instrução por alguns profissionais de saúde. Conclusão: Crianças com SD são amamentados com menos frequência em comparação com crianças não portadoras de distúrbios ou síndromes. Portanto, o apoio ativo, instrução e colaboração entre os membros da equipe de saúde e as mães de bebês com SD, são essenciais para o sucesso da amamentação, revelando que profissionais de saúde têm papel importante no sucesso ou fracasso da amamentação exclusiva.
