Factores que influyen en el desarrollo motor de los niños con síndrome de Down

Frequently, people with Down syndrome show alteration in their locomotor system due to an association between muscular hypotonic and joint laxity. This is the reason why the joint instability is increased, since the function of the soft joint tissues is decreased. This causes the joints which undergo a more continuous load (hips, knees, feet) or a great mobility (atlas-axis joint) to be more affected.
