Down Sendromlu Çocuklarda Ve Tipik Gelişim Gösteren Akranlarında Vücut Kitle İndeksi, Q Açısı Ve Pes Planus Yürüme Yaşını Etkiler Mi?

Amaç: Down sendromlu (DS) olan çocuklar ve tipik gelişime sahip yaşıtlarında vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ), kuadriseps açısı (Q0) ve pes planusun yürüme yaşı üzerine etkilerini araştırmak. Yöntem: Yaşları 2-6 arasında 50 DS’lu çocuk (DS grubu) ve 50 tipik gelişim gösteren çocukda (kontrol grubu) vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu ve Q açısı ölçüldü ve ayak izleri elde edildi. VKİ ve Staheli indeksi (SI) hesaplandı. Bulgular: DS grubunda ortalama yürüme yaşı 26±8 ay, kontrol grubunda 12±2 ay idi (p

Do Body Mass Index, Q Angle, and Pes Planus Affect Walking Age in Children with Down Syndrome and Their Typically Developing Peers?

Objective: To investigate the effects of body mass index (BMI), quadriceps angle (Q0) and pes planus on walking age in children with Down syndrome (DS) and typically developing peers. Methods: Bodyweight, height and Q0 were measured and footprints were obtained in 50 children with DS and 50 typically developing children (control), ages between 2-6 years. BMI and Staheli index (SI) were calculated. Results: The mean walking age was 26±8 months in the DS group and 12±2 months in the control group (p
