“…De este modo, los autores demuestran los efectos beneficiosos de la hipoterapia en la función motora gruesa y el rendimiento funcional en niños con PC. Antunes et al (2016) exploraron los efectos inmediatos de un protocolo de hipoterapia usando un ritmo de paso-trote en los parámetros espaciotemporales de la marcha y el tono muscular en 10 niños con parálisis cerebral espástica bilateral. Los niños con PC se sometieron a dos sesiones de hipoterapia por semana.…”

ResumenEl objetivo del artículo es revisar la literatura científica existente a fin de comprobar los efectos de las terapias ecuestres en personas con parálisis cerebral. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos de Medline (PubMed), Dialnet, Scopus, Sportdiscus y Web of Science, estableciendo como criterios de inclusión para seleccionar los estudios clínicos por revisar que estos hubieran sido publicados entre 2001 y 2016, en castellano o inglés. Asimismo, se rechazaron aquellos en los que los sujetos recibieran una combinación de tratamientos farmacológicos. Se revisaron un total de 68 artículos, de los cuales 20 cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Se analizaron la población objeto de estudio, el tipo de tratamiento, la temporalización y los resultados obtenidos. En general, se observan beneficios significativos en el uso de las terapias ecuestres como tratamiento para personas con parálisis cerebral. Palabras claveTerapias ecuestres, terapia asistida por caballos, hipoterapia, parálisis cerebral, tono muscular.

A bibliographical review was performed in databases of Medline (PubMed), Dialnet, Scopus, Sportdiscus y Web of Science, establishing as inclusion criteria to select clinical studies for review that these had been published between 2001 and 2016, in Spanish or English, likewise there were rejected those in which the subjects received a combination of pharmacological treatments. There were reviewed 68 articles in total, 20 of which met the inclusion criteria. There were analysed many criteria, such as the population object of the study, the type of treatment, the schedule and the results obtained. In general, significant benefits are observed in the use of equestrian therapies as a treatment for people with cerebral palsy.

“…Three nonrandomized studies [21][22][23] were found. After assessment of methodological quality by the ROBINS-I Júnior et al scale, showing strengths in the bias categories after the start of interventions (last four categories), such as deviations from intended interventions, missing data, measurement of outcomes, and selective reporting of results.…”

“…After assessment of methodological quality by the ROBINS-I Júnior et al scale, showing strengths in the bias categories after the start of interventions (last four categories), such as deviations from intended interventions, missing data, measurement of outcomes, and selective reporting of results. However, the three studies failed to adequately address baseline confounding before the interventions began, presenting biases such as the use of a convenience sample with different group sizes 21 , a lack of similarity regarding baseline prognostic factors and type of intervention 22 , and time-varying confounding due to the switch between interventions compared between individuals 23 .…”

The present study aimed to perform a literature review on the use of wearable inertial sensors for gait analysis of children in clinical practice. Methods: Searches were performed in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and PEDro databases for studies involving children or adolescents submitted to gait analysis with the use of wearable inertial sensors. No restrictions were imposed regarding the date of publication or language. Results: Three hundred twenty articles were retrieved, 14 of which met the eligibility criteria and were selected for the present systematic review. Two independent reviewers assessed the risk of bias and study quality using the ROBINS-I and AXIS scale. The studies included in the present review reported multiple outcomes of kinematic gait assessments calculated from the signals provided by the wearable sensors, performed in a hospital setting, outpatient clinic, and a familiar environment, with several types of pediatric conditions. Conclusion: The findings suggest that wearable sensors are effective for the evaluation of quantitative gait variables in children with different pediatric conditions, enabling an objective analysis that should prove useful in the processes of clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation. However, given the relatively small number of studies published on this topic, it is difficult to make strong recommendations regarding the most appropriate equipment, sensor placement, and outcomes for assessing gait in children.
