Background and Objectives: Children with Down syndrome show the weakness of balance and postural control. This study aimed at investigating the effects of eight weeks of Cawthorne Cooksey training on static and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, the statistical sample consisted of 30 boys with Down syndrome, aged 8 to 10 years, and an intelligence quotient of 50 to 70 from Shahryar city in 2021, selected based on convenience sampling method and then divided into two similar groups of 15 in the experimental and control groups. Sharpened Romberg Test and Berg Balance Scale were used to measure static balance and dynamic balance, respectively. The Cawthorne Cooksey exercise was implemented in the experimental group, for 8 weeks (3 sessions of 45 minutes per week). The control group did not receive any intervention. Static balance and dynamic balance were assessed before and after the training program and compared between the groups. To analyze the data, independent t-test and multivariate analysis of covariance were used.
Results: The results of this study showed the eight weeks of Cawthorne Cooksey training had significant effects on improvement of the static balance (on foam and firm surface) and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome (p<0.05). The effect size value for static balance on soft and firm surface was 0.81 and 0.52, respectively, and for dynamic balance 0.55 (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The results of our study showed the improvement of static and dynamic balance after 8 weeks of Cawthorne Cooksey training. Therefore, the Cawthorne Cooksey training is suggested as an effective exercise to improve the static and dynamic balance and postural stability in children with Down syndrome.
