Abstract(s)
Introdução: A Síndrome de Down (SD) é um distúrbio genético que resulta na presença de três cromossomas 21. Os portadores de SD apresentam caraterísticas físicas específicas, assim como alguns défices, que os impede de desenvolver habilidades apropriadas a cada faixa etária. Objetivos: O objetivo desta revisão bibliográfica é estudar a intervenção da fisioterapia no equilíbrio e no tónus muscular em crianças e adolescentes com Síndrome de Down. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica recorrendo às bases de dados PEDro e Pubmed, incluindo artigos randomizados controlados, artigos em português ou inglês e a amostra ter idades até aos 18 anos, inclusive. Resultados: Obtiveram-se 130 artigos dos quais foram incluídos 7 para o estudo com um total de 246 participantes com idades compreendidas entre os 2 e os 18 anos. A qualidade metodológica dos artigos utilizados foi recolhida através da Escala de PEDro, tendo-se obtido um score médio de 6. Conclusão: Verificou-se que as crianças e adolescentes com SD apresentam melhorias significativas a nível do equilíbrio e do tónus muscular, bem como, a nível do controlo motor, força muscular e agilidade, quando submetidos a programas fisioterapêuticos.
