Abstract
Background: Children with Down syndrome (DS) are associated with several problems such as dysmorphic features, gait dysfunctions compared to typically developing children. Aim: The current study intended to investigate the relation between anthropometric measurement (body mass index (BMI), Lower extremity stature index (LESI) and balance gait as well as parameters in children with Ds from both sexes. Patients and methods: Thirty children with Down syndrome were selected randomly from the Out-patient clinic of Faculty of physical therapy, Cairo university, their age was ranged from 8 to 12 years. Anthropometric measurement included body mass index (BMI) and Lower extremity stature index (LESI) were assessed, balance overall stability index (OASI) anteroposterior (APSI) and mediolateral stability index (MSLI) and spatiotemporal gait parameters (step length, cadence, speed) were assessed using biodex balance system and biodex gait trainer for all children participated in this study respectively
