Abstract

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.

练习舞蹈的唐氏综合症儿童的平衡评估

背景。据观察，舞蹈对身体运动功能的发展有重要的贡献。目标。评估唐氏综合症儿童参加残疾人士舞蹈工作坊的静态和动态平衡。方法。Oliveira(2009)提出的平衡测试应用于14名年龄在8 ~ 12岁(平均9.36±1.2岁)的DS患儿。谁练习舞蹈不少于两年?不跳舞的DS患儿14例作为对照组，平均年龄为9.43±1.09岁。结果。而建议测试的最大效果为12分，42.08%的样本得分低于5分。57.13%的参与者得分为5分、6分或7分，这被认为是相关的。可以这样说，舞蹈被证明是一种非常重要的刺激DS儿童平衡发展的重要手段。考虑到有关CG的结果，42.25%的样本得分为零，57.25%的样本得分为4,3或2。结论。持续的、系统的舞蹈练习可以使残疾儿童的平衡得到长足的发展。这有利于他们在体育锻炼和体育项目中被包容和持久。
