Effects of Interactive Sensory Play on Manual Dexterity in Down Syndrome Children
Overview
Down Syndrome is a genetic condition in which a patient has an extra chromosome which is a copy of chromosome 21. It causes physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. The person has difficulty with normal life activities. This study evaluates the effect of interactive sensory play on coordinated hand movements or manual dexterity in children with Down Syndrome. Down syndrome is one of the most common birth defects and causes impairments in the body. The children diagnosed with Down syndrome need great deal of therapies in early childhood so that can live a better life. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of interactive sensory play on manual dexterity in Down syndrome children. The study design will be a Randomized Controlled Trial. The study setting will be Tehsil Headquater hospital Sadiqabad. The study duration will be 10 months after the approval of the synopsis. The Sample Size will be 22 which is calculated by epitools. The sampling technique will be a Non-probability convenient sampling technique. Children who are diagnosed with Down Syndrome will be included. Children with other musculoskeletal and neurological issues will be excluded. Data Collection Tools will be Box and Block test and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory. Identification and recruitment of the participants with Down syndrome will be done. Participants will be selected through lottery for both groups. Group 1 will use Interactive Sensory play and Group 2 will use Free Play as intervention. The assessor will be blind. The data will be analyzed using SPSS 23.
