Abstract

People with Down syndrome (SD) present gait problems from childhood to adulthood. Objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature addressing the effect of controlled physical exercise on gait kinematics in SD individuals. The literature search occurred in eight electronic databases. Quality analysis (k = 0.92) of ten studies was selected and verified. Thus, there was a lack of research on the effects of controlled training programs on gait kinematics in the syndromic population. There was a greater participation of males (37%) compared to females (27.3%), and 60% of the studies aimed at the syndromic population in this study concern infants with aerobic training protocols. The results showed benefits of controlled exercise programs modifying favorably the kinematics of gait of individuals with DS, especially in the first two years of life.
