Abstract

|
|
To evaluate the atlantoaxial instability in children with Down syndrome, the authors analyzed the 97 children with Down syndrome attending to 2 schools for handicaped children in Pusan.
@ES The rsults of study were as follows;
@EN 1)The incidence of atlantoaxial instability in 97 individuals with Down syndrome was 8(8.3%) in neutral position and in 10(10.3%) in flexion, respectively.
2) The mean atlantoaxial gap was significantly higher in patients with Down syndrome than in the control group(P< 0.05).
3) The mean atlantoaxial gaps in patients with Down stydrome according neck position was significantly higher in flexion(3.27 ±1.08mm)than in neutral(2.63 ±1.18)(p 0.05).
4) When mean atlantoaxial gaps of patients with Down syndrome were analyzed according to age groups, young age groups were statistically higher than old age groups in flexion position(p< 0.05) but no statistically signigican differences were in
neutral
position.
5) The mean atlantoaxial gap of obese group was slightly higher than those of non-obese group but no statistically significant difference
was noted(p< 0.05).
