Permainan lokomotor dapat memfasilitasi keterampilan motorik penyandangDown Syndrome. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui  pengaruh aktivitas permainan lokomotor terhadap keterampilan motorik kasar pada penyandangDown Syndrome di SLBN Surakarta.Desain penelitian ini adalah quantitative pre-experimental design tipe one-group pretest-posttest.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of activity on gross motor skills in people with Down Syndrome at SLBN Surakarta.This study was a quantitative pre-experimental design of one- group pretest-posttest type. A sample of 10 people was selected by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed by paired t-test.There were positive, and statistically significant effects of intervention locomotor games on gross motor skills in people with Down Syndrome (p = 0.000). Optimization of the gross motor can be facilitated through hopscotch play activities, which are divided into three aspects, (1) locomotor, consisting of two-foot jump and one-foot jump, (2) non-locomotor, ie turning, rotating by changing body position, (3) manipulative, which is throwing gaco in a box.Locomotor games activity affected on Gross Motor Skills in people with Down Syndrome. Keywords.Locomotorgames , Gross Motor Skills, Down Snydrome.
