Assessing Malleability of Spatial Abilities in Down Syndrome
Based on available literature and our own preliminary research, the researchers have concluded that persons with Down syndrome (DS) exhibit difficulties in utilizing the specific spatial abilities of mental rotation and perspective taking and performing complex spatial tasks such as wayfinding and environmental learning. A weakness in spatial abilities may …
Investigating the Impact of JASPER Behavioral Therapy in Children With Down Syndrome
In this study, investigators will study the impact of a 1:1 caregiver coaching intervention using the JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, Regulation) behavioral therapy curriculum compared to a psychoeducational curriculum that will be provided to caregivers for self-directed learning. Investigators want to determine the impact of both interventions on …
Oxygen Uptake Kinetics During Submaximal Exercise in Adults With Down Syndrome
This study aims to compare the rate at which oxygen uptake adapts to submaximal, moderate intensity exercise (oxygen uptake kinetics) between adults with and without Down syndrome, to determine the contribution of oxygen uptake kinetics to exercise intolerance of adults with Down syndrome. Additionally, the study will investigate the role …
Trial to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of GM-CSF /Sargramostim in Down Syndrome
This trial protocol is designed to evaluate primarily whether the use of sargramostim (recombinant human GM-CSF), administered five days per week for four consecutive weeks (20 treatment days), will be well tolerated by and safe for use in young adult participants with Down syndrome.
Effects of Dohsa Hou Exercises on Functional Mobility
Trisomy 21 is a condition where there's an extra chromosome 21, which leads to a set of clinical signs called Down syndrome. Down syndrome is one of the most complicated genetic conditions that can occur post-term and is the most commonly survivable form of aneuploidy of the autosomal chromosomes. Dohsa …
Role of Early Motor Experience in Infants With Down Syndrome
Infants with Down syndrome show significant delays and weaknesses in motor, cognitive, and language development compared to typically developing infants. This project aims to examine the developmental cascade effects of specific gross and fine motor experience on motor, cognitive and language development in infants with Down syndrome. We propose that …
Effect of Aerobic Training on Sleep Problems and Pulmonary Functions in Children With Down Syndrome
The study will be conducted to determine the effect of aerobic training on sleep problems and pulmonary functions in children with Down syndrome.
Gamma Frequency Stimulation in Individuals With Down Syndrome
Down Syndrome (DS) is characterized by an additional copy of chromosome 21, which also increases risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The investigators' lab found a non-invasive way to remove toxic proteins from the brain in AD mouse models. Remarkably, treated mice also have improved memory on behavioral testing. The investigators …
Effects of Orofacial Therapy and Therapeutic Yoga in Children With Down Syndrome
The study aims to compare the effects of orofacial therapy and therapeutic yoga on swallowing, sleep habits, and quality of life in children with Down syndrome.
Effects of Lower Limb Fitness Program in Children With DS
Down Syndrome is a congenital disorder resulting from the trisomy of the human chromosome 21, which will determine, among other characteristics, intellectual disability and growth retardation. Reduced muscular strength, cardiovascular capacity, sleep problems, and impaired walking performance are also observed in Down syndrome participants. The estimated global prevalence is around …
