2. Hip Dislocations Are Common
Down Syndrome has a severe physical effect on the body, and some of the symptoms that people who have been born with Down Syndrome might experience include slowed physical development and shorter overall stature; it also includes very characteristic facial features that can have implications for their long-term health later on in life.
This isn’t the only physical consequence of Down Syndrome, and with age more complications involving the muscles and skeletal system become common. Just one of these symptoms are hip dislocations, which is a painful and uncomfortable symptom that can happen to the majority of people diagnosed with Down Syndrome at some point during their lives.
Most often there are no other contributing factors to the hip dislocation and it can occur spontaneously. For fixing the dislocation, the help of a medical professional is always advised in order to avoid further damage to the joints or bones.
