Abstract: (2184 Views)
Background. It is observed that dance delivers a valuable contribution to the development of bodily motor functions.
Objectives. To evaluate the static and dynamic balance in children with Down syndrome - DS enrolled in a Dance Workshop for people with disabilities.
Methods. Balance tests proposed by Oliveira (2009) were used on 14 children with DS aged between 8 and 12 (mean 9.36 ± 1.2 years.). Who has been practicing dance for not less than two years? A Control Group was formed with 14 children with DS who do not dance with the same age group (mean 9.43 ± 1.09 years).
Results. While the maximum effect of the proposed tests is 12 points and 42.08% of the sample obtained a score below 5. It is considered relevant the percentage of 57.13% of the participants to have scored five, six, or seven. It can be stated that dance proved too significant a considerable means of stimulating balance development in children with DS. It was considering the results regarding the CG that pointed to 42.25% of the sample with a score of zero and 57.25% with a rating of 4, 3, or 2.
Conclusion. The constant and systematic dance practice can present a considerable development in the balance of children with DS. This favors their inclusion and permanence in physical exercise and sports programs.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
• Implication for health policymakers / practice / research / medical education:
1) Balance is one of the main problems in the psychomotor development of people with Down syndrome, with few studies in the literature on the subject.
2) This study evaluates the balance of children with the Syndrome who practice dance and seeks to verify its effectiveness in forming the body scheme of these children.
2) This study evaluates the balance of children with the Syndrome who practice dance and seeks to verify its effectiveness in forming the body scheme of these children.
