“…The limitations of some pharmacological therapies safeguarding against specific diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and Parkinson’s, have led researchers to evaluate alternatives, with a particular interest being on animal-assisted therapies. These are considered to be co-intervention therapies supporting conventional therapies [1,2,3,4]. Integrated medicine, however, concerns both the prevention and treatment of diseases via a biopsychosocial approach [5,6,7,8].…”

Background: Animal-assisted intervention (AAIs) represent an adequate expression of integrated medicine, according to the One Health approach. We argue that AAIs are interventions based on interspecific relationships between humans and animals. Although there are many studies on the effects of AAIs on animal and human health and wellbeing, research is still needed to give us more data. For example, information is still lacking on the aspects characterizing and influencing the interspecific relationships occurring in AAIs. The efficacy of an intervention based on interspecific relationships will be influenced by different factors, such as attachment styles and personalities of both the animal and the handler, an appropriate choice of animal species and their individuality, animal educational training techniques, the relationship between the handler and the animal, and relational reciprocity between animal, the patients, and members of the working team. Method: This article aims to contribute to the study of interspecific relationships in AAIs via theoretical considerations. An interspecific relationship determines the result of safe interventions, which directly influences the welfare of the animal. Results and considerations: AAIs should be evaluated systemically as a network within a process in which every component interacts with and influences other components. Standardized methods using appropriate tests and parameters are needed to better select appropriate animals (i.e., species and individual subjects) using interspecific relational competences as well as appropriate educational training methods and health protocols to assess potential risks.

“…A study on AAT was found that mentioned occupational therapy as one of the professional areas of knowledge that performs AAT. The systematic review study by Mandrá et al (2019) found only two studies involving occupational therapy with dogs. These studies were carried out in North America and provide information on the assisted population (people with physical or mental disabilities, or sequelae of dementia, or cerebral palsy).…”

“…According to the authors, the therapeutic objectives of the studies covered physical or cognitive rehabilitation, and it is indicated that they have been achieved. However, Mandrá et al (2019) refer that it is not clear how the dog acted to assist in this process. To discuss the main characteristics of advanced activities of daily living (AADL), their classification in the domains of social, physical, productive, and leisure activities, and to highlight the importance of including AADL in the functional assessment of the elderly population.…”

Resumo Terapeutas ocupacionais têm praticado a Terapia Assistida por Animais (TAA) incorporando cães em suas intervenções. A produção de conhecimento nacional sobre a Terapia Ocupacional Assistida por Cães foi analisada por meio de uma revisão de escopo. Esta investigação buscou obter respostas sobre quais populações têm sido focalizadas na Terapia Ocupacional Assistida por Cães no Brasil, quais os objetivos e resultados terapêuticos, de que forma o cão atuou neste processo, qual o treinamento necessário aos cães e qual a formação requerida ao terapeuta ocupacional para realizar tal terapia. A busca ocorreu nos periódicos nacionais de Terapia Ocupacional e na biblioteca Scielo.br por meio de descritores e critérios de inclusão. Não foram encontrados estudos da terapia ocupacional tendo cães como assistentes, mas sim sobre o cuidar de animais como uma ocupação humana e um papel ocupacional (n=4). Um estudo referiu a terapia ocupacional como uma das profissões que, no contexto estrangeiro, realiza a terapia assistida por cães com pessoas com deficiência e/ou sequelas físicas ou mentais, sendo os objetivos e resultados terapêuticos de reabilitação física ou cognitiva. A revisão revela que a produção nacional é incipiente, sobretudo se comparada à literatura estrangeira, que relata sobre a Terapia Ocupacional Assistida por Cães e informa sobre as populações, objetivos e resultados terapêuticos, a formação e competências necessárias ao terapeuta e o treinamento requerido ao cão. Reafirma-se a necessidade de estudos e de produção de conhecimento nacional para o embasamento teórico e diretrizes para a prática da Terapia Ocupacional Assistida por Cães no Brasil.

“…In the last five years, hippotherapy has gained prominence in the scientific context due to the biopsychosocial benefits provided to the individual by the interaction between man and animal resulting from horse-assisted therapy (Mandrá, Moretti, Avezum, & Kuroishi, 2019). Among them, studies related to the motor, sensory, psycho-emotional and social aspects of individuals, mostly with different commitments, such as brain stroke, multiple sclerosis (Anguita Córdova, González Díaz, Villagra Parra, Navarrete Hidalgo, & Sanhueza Inzunza, 2019) cerebral palsy (PC) (Lopes, Prieto, Santos, Smaili, & Gutierres Filho, 2019;Prieto, Silva, Silva, Santos, & Gutierres Filho, 2018), Down syndrome (SD) (Chaves & Almeida, 2018;Ribeiro et al, 2016) among other disabilities and/or syndromes (Sônego, Cavalante, Souza, & Quaggio, 2018;Zamo & Trentini, 2016 ).…”

Equine-assisted therapy uses the horse in rehabilitation and/or education of people, such as Down syndrome (SD), cerebral palsy (PC) and intellectual disability (DI). In context, the rehabilitation program and horse riding equipment should be used according to the specific characteristics of each individual, becoming an ally in the quest for excellence in equine-assisted therapy programs. The aim was to evaluate the effect of riding equipment used in equine-assisted therapy on the muscular activity of trunk and lower limb of individuals with SD, PC and DI. The study included 15 individuals equally assigned to each group: SD, PC and DI with a mean age of 16.2 (± 1.10), 16 (± 1.22) e 16 (±0) years, respectively. The analysis of muscle activity was performed through surface electromyography, using four variations of horse riding equipment: saddle with and without feet supported on the stirrups and blanket with and without feet supported on the stirrups. Sigma Stat 3.5® software was used for statistical analysis. The Shapiro Wilk’s test was used for normality of the data, the Bartlett test for homogeneity of the variances and the Kruskal-Wallis test for repeated measures with no normal distribution. Statistically significant differences were observed for p < 0.05. The SD group presented a greater muscular activity of trunk and lower limbs with blanket equipment without the feet supported in the stirrups (H = 15.078, p = 0.002), as in the DI group (H = 8.302, p = 0.040), while in PC group was the saddle with feet supported in the stirrups (H = 11.137, p = 0.011). The choice of riding equipment used in equine-assisted therapy interferes differently in the pattern of muscular activation of the trunk and the lower limbs, according to the pathological processes of the practitioners. It should be an important aspect to consider when planning a treatment.
