Abstract

Purpose: Comparison of not only the upper and lower extremity but also trunk muscle masses measured by means of an ultrasound imaging device between children with Down syndrome (DS) and children with typical development (TD).

Methods: The study included 35 children with TD (TD group) and 26 children with DS (DS group). The upper and lower extremity and trunk muscle thicknesses were measured using an ultrasound imaging device.

Results: The thicknesses of the rectus abdominis, obliquus externus and internus abdominis, rectus femoris, and short head of the biceps femoris muscles were significantly lower in the DS group than in the TD group. The thicknesses of the other upper and lower extremity and trunk muscles did not differ significantly between the groups.

Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated lower masses of trunk flexor and knee extensor and flexor muscles in children with DS compared to those in children with TD.

唐氏综合征患儿与正常发育患儿上肢、下肢及躯干肌肉质量的比较。

目的:比较唐氏综合征(DS)儿童与典型发育(TD)儿童超声成像装置测量的上、下肢及躯干肌肉质量。方法:选取35例TD患儿(TD组)和26例DS患儿(DS组)作为研究对象。采用超声显像仪测量上肢、下肢及躯干肌肉厚度。结果:DS组腹直肌、腹斜外肌、腹斜内肌、股直肌、股二头肌短头肌厚度明显低于TD组。其他上肢、下肢和躯干肌肉的厚度在两组间无显著差异。结论:本研究的结果表明，与TD儿童相比，DS儿童的躯干屈肌、膝关节伸肌和屈肌质量更低。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
