Brief Summary:
Down syndrome DS is a genetic condition that compromises physical and cognitive function Motor development delays define DS Additionally there are executive function issues Humans need dual-task activities to execute physical and cognitive tasks simultaneously Cognitively challenged people may struggle to do dual tasks simultaneously This shows that executive function modulation may boost motor function Rehabilitation should include motor training and cognitive therapy to improve function Dual-task training called exergaming combines video games with exercise and requires brain processing decision-making and problem-solving Kids enjoy therapy and exercise using interactive exergames improving adherence and results Mental agility can be developed through simultaneous exercise Exergaming improves balance functional mobility fitness and well-being for DS youngsters Most literature on DS children stresses physical ability over cognitive ability Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Exercise Program CMDT works in most therapy settings without equipment Our study compares two dual-task intervention regimens for 8-14-year-old DS childrens balance functional mobility and EF
Detailed Description:
An extra copy of chromosome 21 causes Down syndrome DS a hereditary disorder that affects physical and cognitive function Motor development delays characterize DS Muscle weakness hypotonia and joint laxity cause motor delay DS children demonstrated lower cognitive and motor performance in all categories than their chronological or mental-age peers Physical traits cause DS children to struggle with balance coordination and functional mobility Additionally these kids may have executive function difficulties Executive function helps people plan organize problem-solve and control their behavior Executive dysfunction affects impulse control memory attention and decision-making Executive and motor function are linked in several studies Motor coordination and regulation need inhibition working memory and cognitive flexibility Inhibitory control helps people stop unimportant motions for better motor skills Working memory stores and manipulates motor plans improving complex action execution Motor skills affect cognitive flexibility or the ability to alter tasks or conceptual groups DS children show moderate inhibitory control and task initiation but poor working memory monitoring planning organizing and cognitive flexibility Most abilities stayed consistent from 2 to 18 years Motor and cognitive skill interventions may help DS youngsters realize their potential EF improves with training The dual-task physical therapy rehabilitation strategy is well studied Living requires DT because it lets individuals perform physical and cognitive tasks simultaneously Soccer and basketball involve coordination of motor running passing and shooting and cognitive strategic thinking decision-making situation awareness skills DT tasks can be difficult to execute simultaneously especially for cognitively impaired people DT and multitasking abilities are needed This suggests EF modulation may improve motor function To increase function rehabilitation programs should include motor training and cognitive therapy Little is known about organizing physical and cognitive skill intervention programs Exergaming is DT training that blends video games with exercise requires mental processing decision-making and problem-solving Interactive exergames make treatment and exercise more fun for kids enhancing adherence and results Mental agility can be increased by exercising simultaneously DS kids can improve balance functional mobility fitness and well-being through exergaming Even so most literature on DS children emphasizes physical capabilities over cognitive capabilities The Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task Exercise Program CMDT by is a new simple intervention that works in most therapy settings without equipment Childrens balance and movement improve with DS The program involves walking sitting leaping cognitive exercises like naming fruits and vegetables and motor ones like carrying an empty box our study aim to compare two DT intervention regimens for 8-14-year-old DS childrens balance functional mobility and EF
