Children with Down syndrome are at high risk for developing B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (DS-ALL) associated with poor outcome due to both a high relapse rate and increased treatment-related mortality (TRM) from infections. Biologically, these heterogeneous leukemias are characterized by under-representation of the common.

Purpose: To evaluate whether a hippotherapy protocol may influence balance and gait in patients with Down Syndrome (DS). Methods: Fifteen male patients affected by DS underwent a 6-month hippotherapy protocol. Stabilometric, baropodometric, and gait assessments were performed at baseline (T 0) and at the end of the treatment (T 1 ).

This extra genetic material causes the developmental changes and physical features of Down syndrome. Down syndrome varies in severity among individuals, causing lifelong intellectual disability and developmental delays.
