Detailed Description:
To investigate the effects of the addition of motorized movement therapy versus conventional chest physiotherapy alone on pulmonary functions, exercise capacity, and endurance in children with Down Syndrome (DS). Methods: This randomized controlled study included 40 children (24 boys \& 16 girls) with DS. Their ages ranged from 9 to 13 years.
