Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Growth and Development Disorders in Pediatrics Summary: Background: Children with Down syndrome have higher prevalence of over-weight and obesity when compared to those without DS. They have problems with collagen, which is the major protein that makes up ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bones. This creates significant laxity from the feet up. The combination of this ligamentous laxity and low muscle tone contribute to orthopedic problems in them. Purpose: To identify the correlation between increasing the body mass index and the static foot posture in children with DS. Subjects and methods: The study was carried out on 144 children with DS (both sexes). They were selected from the public schools and institutes of special needs at big cities. Their ages ranged from 10 to 18 years old. Their sex distribution revealed that there were 66 girls and 78 boys. The weight status of the study group reveled that there were 42 healthy weights, 33 of overweight and 69 obese children. After weight and height was measured and the BMI was calculated, assessment of the foot posture was conducted by the foot posture index-6. Results: the study indicates that increased BMI has a negative weak correlation (r=-0.08, p = 0.33) to the value of foot posture index-6 of right foot and also negative weak correlation (r=-0.06, p = 0.46) to the value of foot posture index-6 of left foot. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it could be concluded that there was a weak negative non-significant correlation between increased body mass index and static foot posture in children with DS. Most of children with DS have pronated feet regardless their body mass index. Flat foot was more common in boys than girls with DS
