Abordagens aplicadas na intervenção motora para crianças com T21 (Síndrome de Down): revisão sistemática

Abstract

Introduction. T21-Down syndrome (T21-SD) is a genetic condition caused by an error in cell division during the embryonic phase specifically on the individual's chromosome 21. Children with DS have muscle hypotonia and ligament laxity, in addition to other associated comorbidities that can interfere with the acquisition of motor landmarks. Objective. Identify the studies that used rehabilitation protocols applied for motor intervention of children with DS, describe the intervention protocols and compare them based on their effectiveness for the acquisition of gait. Method. This study will be based on a systematic review of the literature of articles published until 2020 and guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) guidelines, being used as PubMed, PEDro , Web of databases Science (WOS) , EMBASE and BVS. The articles will be selected according to the following keywords: down syndrome, trissomy 21, motor intervention, physical therapy, walking. Results: the expected results will be the effectiveness of motor interventions to start walking in children with DS. Conclusion: Children with DS benefit from early gait acquisition, as as they walk, they expand their space for exploration and, consequently, their learning.
