Detailed description

This study was a randomized clinical trail. Children with Down Syndrome were determined on inclusion \& exclusion criteria. Children with Down syndrome were arbitrarily allocated into two groups with ages ranged from 5 to 17 years. The sample size was 20 patients. They were assigned randomly into two groups. Group 1 received balance training and Group 2 received core stability exercises. The duration of treatment was 6 weeks. Data is collected from Comprehensive Rehabilitation center Chakwal Postural stability was evaluated pre and post treatment by pediatric berg balance scale. Values which were obtained after this intervention were analyzed for any change using SPSS
