Summary

This study tests whether adding mini-trampoline exercises (rebound therapy) to standard chest physical therapy can improve lung function in children with Down syndrome. Forty children aged 9 to 13 will be randomly assigned to either chest therapy alone or chest therapy plus rebound therapy. Researchers will measure lung capacity, chest expansion, and walking ability to see if the trampoline exercises provide extra benefit.
