Item LUDOTERAPIA EN NIÑOS CON SINDROME DE DOWN EN EL DOMINIO DE EQUILIBRIO(2025-02-27) Garzón Hidalgo María de los Angeles; Moscoso Córdova Grace Verónica; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de FisioterapiaDown syndrome is associated with balance difficulties due to physical and neurological alterations, such as muscular hypotonia and ligamentous laxity, which affect motor development. Play therapy, which uses play as a therapeutic tool, has been shown to improve muscle tone, balance, and strength in these children. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of play therapy on the balance of children with Down syndrome. The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) test and the Psychomotor Development Test (TEPSI) were used on a sample of 25 children with Down syndrome, both boys and girls, aged between 3 and 12 years. The training program consisted of 12 sessions of 45 minutes, scheduled 3 times per week. The results indicate that playful activities improve both static and dynamic balance, with dynamic balance showing the greatest impact on the participants' daily lives.Item “Los juegos tradicionales en el desarrollo de la motricidad gruesa en niños y niñas de 3 a 4 años”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Estimulación Temprana, 2018-05-01) López Velasco, Erika Fernanda; Troya Ortiz, Elsa VerónicaLic. Mg.The present investigative work was based on the theme: The Traditional Games in the Development of the gross motor in children from 3 to 4 years, to determine how traditional games influence the development of gross motor skills in children. An evaluation was made to each child with the Nellson Ortiz Scale Integral Development form to children from 0 to 5 years of age based on the age of 3 to 4 years consisting of the following parameters the first one walks on tiptoe, the second one stops only on one foot and the third one throws and grabs the ball. We found that the majority of children have mild problems in the development of gross motor skills, realizing that teachers do not use traditional games in their classroom activities. For this reason, we can affirm that through the game we can stimulate children in all their areas of development and in this way obtain a better child development.
