Abstract

Down Syndrome is a condition caused by a change in genes that leads to problems with movement skills, weak muscles, difficulty with coordination, and trouble keeping balance while moving. This condition can make it harder for a child to take part in sports, especially soccer, which needs good balance and posture control. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, or PNF, is a type of physical therapy that helps improve control of muscles and balance by using sensory stimulation from within the body. The goal of this study is to show how PNF can help improve dynamic balance in child soccer players who have Down Syndrome. The study used the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method. The study included 40 participants who were chosen through purposive sampling according to specific rules for who could and could not take part. During the study, PNF exercises were provided once a week as the intervention. The Y Balance Test was used to measure dynamic balance both before and after the intervention. Data analysis was done using a Paired Sample t-test both by looking at each variable alone and comparing pairs of variables, after making sure the data followed a normal distribution as checked by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Results: The average dynamic balance score went up from 72.497 before the test to 83.662 after the test. The statistical analysis results showed a big difference between the situation before and after the intervention, with a significance value of p.
