Overview

This review highlights parental expectations from physiotherapy for children with Down syndrome, suggesting a need for family-centred care.

Key Points

  • Parental experiences reveal significant challenges in accessing quality physiotherapy services for children with DS, affecting family well-being.
  • Physiotherapy is vital for improving motor abilities in children with DS, yet the parents' perspectives on therapy remain underexplored.
  • Research gaps exist, especially in low- and middle-income settings, limiting understanding of parental needs during physiotherapy interventions.
  • The review emphasizes the urgent need for targeted qualitative research to enhance family-centred care models for children with DS.
