Abstract

The objective of this research is to relate motor development and postural control in children with Down syndrome in the city of Chillán. The research has a non-experimental, transactional, correlational design. The sample is non-probabilistic intentional and consists of a total of 36 children between 6 and 12 years old with Down Syndrome (n = 16) and with Typical Development (n = 20). The gross motor development was evaluated through the Test of Gross Development (Ulrich, 2000), and postural control through a Wii Balance Board platform (Rey-Martinez & Perez-Fernandez, 2016) calculating the displacement area of the center of pressures in position static with open and closed eyes. The results show significant differences between the two groups both in motor development and postural control (p <0.05), being better in the typical development group. Not found a correlation between postural control and motor development in children with Down Syndrome group. In conclusion, children with Down syndrome show a delay in postural control and motor development compared to children with typical development, however, it’s necessary to carry out further research to determine the relationship between the two variables.
