“…24 The strength training protocol emphasized strengthening the core muscles and lower limb muscles involved in static and dynamic balance included: leg abductors and adductors, knee flexor and extensors, abdominals, back extensors and plantar flexors. 17,25 Strength training program in which Thera-Band® elastic bands were used with the consideration of body weight in supine or prone positions 17 was chosen and programs including free weight training and weight machines were not applied (Figure 1). Table 1 outlines the structure and content of the strength training program.…”

Introduction.Balance is one of the main problems of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). According to process-oriented approach, besides strength training, neuromuscular adaptations can improve balance. Objective. To evaluate the effects of strength training on improving static and dynamic balance in DCD children. Methods and population. Children between 7 to 9 years old in Tehran participated in the study through randomized controlled trial design. Subjects were randomly divided into two experimental (n = 15) and control (n= 15) groups. The participants exercised for 12 weeks and 24 sessions. The experimental group received strength training using flexible Theraband elastic exercise and control group received routine exercises in physical education class. Isometric strength of hip abductor muscles and plantar flexors were measured using hand held dynamometer, and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) was used for measurement of static and dynamic balance. Data were analyzed using independent and paired sample t-tests. Results. Strength training significantly increased muscle strength in DCD children (P <0.001) and improved their static balance performance (P <0.05); however, these exercises had no significant effect on their dynamic balance performance (P >0.05). Conclusion. The strength training leads to static balance improve in DCD children. There was not an improvement in dynamic balance through the strength training in these children.

“…Yet, few studies have been concerned with motor learning in persons with DS. There are some indications that, with specific training programs, people with DS can improve their performance of tasks involving, for example, balance 4 or reaction time 5 -sometimes to a level that is similar to that of typical individuals 6 . In the context of treatments for motor speech disorders, which are frequently seen in people with DS, the effects of augmented (visual or auditory) feedback have been examined.…”

“…Fortunately, research suggests that strength training for adults with DS may lead to improvements in their functional ability, (Shields & Dodd, 2004;Smail & Horvat, 2006) overall health, and well-being (Gupta et al, 2011;Holm, 2008;Winders, 1997). Individuals with DS who possess greater strength may be able to complete a broader range of tasks within community settings, potentially increasing their opportunities for employment (Cowley et al, 2010;Shields & Dodd, 2004).…”

Abstract:As adults with Down syndrome (DS) age, their strength decreases resulting in difficulty performing activities of daily living. In the current study, we investigated the use of video modeling for teaching three adults with DS to perform weight lifting techniques. A multiple probe design across behaviors (i.e., lifts) was used to evaluate intervention effectiveness. Data indicated variable effects across participants and lifting techniques. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
