Study Summary

Down's syndrome is genetic disorder caused by trisomy 21. Children with Down's syndrome are characterized by awkward movements, gait, increased flexibility of joints, timing of mastering of basic skills, under development of fine motor skills.

Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) is a technique that uses interactive games as a physical therapy resource and has shown positive results in cortical reorganization, improving functional mobility, and quality of movement.

This is an experimental study in which randomized controlled trials study design is being used.

Study Description

Down's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by trisomy 21. Down's syndrome is characterized by a variety of dysmorphic features, congenital malformations and other health problems and medical conditions. Not all of them are present in each affected individual. The impact of Down's syndrome for each person is variable some are more affected, some are mild affected and some are fully independent.Children with Down's syndrome are characterized by awkward movements, gait, increased flexibility of joints, timing of mastering of basic skills, under development of fine motor skills.

Virtual video gaming is a best method for development of fine motor skills in Down's syndrome children. Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT) is a technique that uses interactive games as a physical therapy resource and has shown positive results in cortical reorganization, improving functional mobility, and quality of movement.

This is an experimental study in which randomized controlled trials study design is being used. Data will be collected from rising sun institute within 6 months after the approval of synopsis. Randomized sampling method will be used. Sample size will be 16 children with Down's syndrome. One group is Control group (self-help skills) in which only self-help skills effect on fine motor skills in Down's syndrome children will be assessed. Other group is Experimental group (virtual video gaming) in which effect of virtual video gaming on fine motor skills will be assessed. ABILHAND-KIDS tool will be used for measurement of effectiveness of virtual video gaming in children with Down' s syndrome. The objective of study is to determine the effects of virtual reality video gaming on fine motor skills in children with Down' s syndrome.
