Abstract

The objective of the study was to examine the effects of traditional Indian dances like Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi and Kathak on motor skills and balance in children with Down syndrome compared to neuromuscular training. In this randomised double-arm design, 36 children with Down syndrome aged 6–10 years and with a score of <5 in Beighton’s hypermobility test participated in either Indian classical dance (n = 18) or neuromuscular training (n = 18). Both the groups practised an hour-long session a day, three days a week for six weeks in six special-schools. Test of Gross Motor Development–2 (TGMD–2), Four Square Step Test (FSST) and paediatric balance scale were the outcome measures. After six weeks of training, there is a significant group difference of change score in the Gross Motor Quotient standard score of TGMD-2 [experimental: 30.47 vs. control: 11.1], locomotor subset of TGMD-2 [experimental: 11.1 vs. control: 4.35] and FSST [experimental: 4.29 vs. control: 2.41], but not in the paediatric balance scale [experimental: 3.59 vs. control: 3.76]. The traditional Indian dance substantially improved the locomotor skills of children with Down syndrome than that of neuromuscular exercises. Both the dance and neuromuscular training equally impacted the balance capacity.

传统印度舞蹈对唐氏综合症儿童运动技能和平衡的影响

摘要

该研究的目的是检查印度传统舞蹈(如 Bharatanatyam、Kuchipudi 和 Kathak)与神经肌肉训练相比对唐氏综合症儿童运动技能和平衡的影响。在这项随机双臂设计中,36 名 6-10 岁唐氏综合症儿童在 Beighton 的过度活动测试中得分 <5,参加了印度古典舞蹈 (n = 18) 或神经肌肉训练 (n = 18)。这两个小组每天在六所特殊学校练习一小时,每周三天,持续六周。粗大运动发育测试-2 (TGMD-2)、四平方步测试 (FSST) 和儿科平衡量表是结果测量。经过六周的训练,TGMD-2 的总运动商数标准分数的变化分数存在显着组差异 [实验:30.47 vs. 对照:11.1]、TGMD-2 的运动子集 [实验:11.1 与对照:4.35] 和 FSST [实验:4.29 与对照:2.41],但不在儿科平衡量表中 [实验:3.59 与对照:3.76 ]。与神经肌肉锻炼相比,传统的印度舞蹈大大提高了唐氏综合症儿童的运动技能。舞蹈和神经肌肉训练同样影响平衡能力。
