“…1 The development of motor skills reveals evidence that children with DS are slow in the acquisitions of the basic motor skills, in relation to children with normal development. [2][3][4] In terms of childhood development, we see a delay in the development of motor skills, indicating that these stages emerge at a different time from those children with typical development. Aspects such as muscle weakness, human cerebellar hypoplasia, and hypotonia have been suggested as the cause for these children's delay in acquiring motor skills.…”

Effect of lateral dominance on manual dexterity in people with Down syndrome

Objective: To evaluate the effect of lateral dominance on manual dexterity in a group of children and adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) and to compare the results from participants with DS with people without the syndrome. Method: The study included 100 children and adolescents of both sexes with ages ranging from 7 to 9 years and 14 to 15 years. 50 people were diagnosed with DS (GDS) and 50 without the syndrome (GC). The Box and Blocks Test (BBT) was used because it allows assessment of motor activity by counting the number of blocks transferred between two divisions of a standard box. The BBT implementation is simple and does not require complex cognitive skills. Results: The number of blocks transferred per minute was lower in participants of GDS than the GC, with a clear disadvantage for manual dexterity in both hands. There was no effect of dominance in the GDS, but the GC showed better performance on the dominant side. Conclusion: The BBT was useful for the quantification of manual dexterity in people with DS as it is easy to apply and understand by people with cognitive impairment.

“…The PEDI measures the functional skills and the need for assistance during daily living activities. It has three areas: self-care, mobility, and social function 3,12,13 , totaling 197 items with scores from 0 to 1 (0: Incapable of limited in performing the item in most situations; 1: Able to perform the item in most situations, or the item has been already mastered and the functional skills have progressed beyond this level).…”

“…DS is characterized as a genetic condition, which causes the bearer to present a series of specific physical and mental characteristics, affecting the neuropsychomotor development, physical growth, and achievement of motor milestones 2 . The gait in children with DS is characterized as "waddling", this term being attributed to increased join laxity and decrease in muscular tonus 3 .…”

RESUMOO objetivo foi comparar as variáveis espaço-temporais do ciclo da marcha em crianças com Síndrome de Down em função da idade. Um estudo longitudinal foi conduzido com 20 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 24 e 83 meses. Técnicas convencionais foram usadas nos procedimentos metodológicos para registrar a antropometria e a técnica cinematográfica bidimensional para quantificar as variáveis espaço-temporais das suas marchas em relação às variáveis globais e parciais. Os resultados mostraram diferenças no comportamento das variáveis antropométricas e cinemáticas, comprimento da passada, frequência da passada e tempo do primeiro apoio simples nas crianças com Síndrome de Down entre 24-59 meses e 60-83 meses de idade. O padrão de marcha das crianças ao longo dos anos se estabeleceu pela alteração da frequência do que pelo comprimento da passada para o desenvolvimento da velocidade de marcha. Conclui-se que as modificações do comportamento das variáveis antropométricas e espaço-temporais da marcha de crianças com Síndrome de Down parecem ser pouco evidentes entre 24 e 59 meses de idade. Palavras-chave: Síndrome de Down. Biomecânica. Postura. ABSTRACTThe main purpose was to compare the spatiotemporal variables of the gait cycle in children with Down Syndrome as a function of age. A longitudinal study was conducted with 20 children, of both genders, aged between 24 and 83 months. Conventional techniques were used in the methodological procedures to record the children's anthropometry and twodimensional cinematographic techniques for quantification of the spatiotemporal variables of their gait in relation to the global and partial variables. The results showed differences in the behavior of the anthropometric and kinematic variables, stride time, stride frequency, and time of first simple support in children with Down Syndrome between the age of 24-59 months and 60-83 months. The children's gait pattern over the years was established by the changes in frequency instead of the changes in the stride length for the development of gait speed. In conclusion the Behavior modifications in the anthropometric and spatiotemporal variables of the gait in children with Down Syndrome appear to be barely evident between 24 and 59 months of age.
