Effect of Vestibular Stimulation on Motor Proficiency and Balance Among Children With Down Syndrome

This was a randomized controlled trial study where there the total participants were 22and these participants were randomly selected and then distributed in to two groups all participants were selected according to the inclusion exclusion criteria of the study and then they were randomly distributed in two groups named as group A and group B both of the contain equal number of participants which are randomly distributed in groups each group contain 11 participants .Group A received the vestibular stimulation by swing in different positions supine, prone and with or without support in each position for 10minnts 3 times a week for 10 weeks along with general strengthening exercises of upper and lower limb and group B will receive general strengthening exercises of whole body for same time period. Data will be then analyzed by using SPSS windows version 25
