An interventional study of BALANCE AND SENSORY INTEGRATION in Down Syndrome, sponsored by Raheel Sanad. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 5 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-25.
Sponsored by Raheel Sanad · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
To investigate the effect of sensory integration on gross motor function in children with Down syndrome.
To investigate the effect of sensory integration on balance in children with Down syndrome.
This study will be delimited to:
438 studies on the registry are indexed under Down Syndrome; 99 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 40 is close to the median of 37 across 286 interventional studies indexed under Down Syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will be excluded from the study if they have any of the following:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Children in this group will receive designed physical therapy program for 60 minutes, 3 times per week for 3 months
Behavioral: BALANCE AND SENSORY INTEGRATION
Children in this group will receive the same designed physical therapy exercises for 30 minutes and sensory program for other 30 minutes three times per week for 3 months.
Behavioral: BALANCE AND SENSORY INTEGRATION
Participants in the controlled group will receive a designed physical therapy program for 60 minutes,three times per week ,for 3 months. Participants in the study group will receive a designed physical therapy program for 30 minutes followed by a sensory integration program for 30 minutes,three times per week for 3 months. the designed physical therapy will include balance and strengthening exercises on the other hand sensory integration program will include different textured surfaces, vistebular stimulation
balance measured by Stability Score of the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance(CTSIB) using HUMAC Balance system
balance will be assessed by the results of stability score of the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (CTSIB ) using HUMAC Balance system the stability score will be recorded at four conditions 1\_child stand on stable surface with open eye 2\_child stand on stable surface with closed eye 3\_ child stand on foam surface with open eye 4\_ child stand on foam surface with closed eye
Time frame: 3 monthes
gross motor function will be assessed by Gross motor function measurement-88 scale
The motor function skills of all children in the study will be measured by Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 scale which is a criterion based observational measure. Standing and walking dimensions only will be selected to be tested
Time frame: 3 monthes
Plan to share: Yes — Participations who meet the eligibility criteria will be allocated by simple randomization via sealed opaque envelopes into two matched groups by an independent person: Group A (control group): Children in this group will receive designed physical therapy program for 60 minutes, 3 times per week for 3 months Group B (study group): Children in this group will receive the same designed physical therapy exercises for 30 minutes and sensory program for other 30 minutes three times per week for 3 months
