of Down syndrome Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorders, as children with it are vulnerable to delayed development and growth in addition to many health and educational challenges. In this article, we review with you more information about the syndrome and how physical therapy contributes to its treatment.. Book an appointment for your child now First: What is Down syndrome? Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs as a result of an abnormal repetition of chromosome 21. This disorder is also called trisomy 21, as people with this syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two copies as in normal people. Down syndrome is characterized by a set of physical and mental characteristics that include: Physical developmental delay Children with Down syndrome are usually shorter in stature and have distinctive physical features such as a round face, slanted eyes, and small, low-set ears. Mental retardation People with Down syndrome usually have varying degrees of mental retardation. They often have limited learning abilities and need additional support in education and personal development. Associated health problems People with Down syndrome can develop a range of associated health problems such as heart, digestive, hearing, and vision problems. Reduced motor skills People with Down syndrome may have reduced motor skills which affects their ability to move around. Second: How does physical therapy help in treating Down syndrome?
