Summary
This study tests whether Vojta therapy, a technique that involves gentle stimulation of specific body zones, can improve how children with Down syndrome walk and move. Twenty-eight children aged 2 to 10 will be randomly assigned to receive either Vojta therapy or no extra therapy. Researchers will measure changes in gross motor skills and walking patterns before and after treatment.
