Abstract:Lacyelle Lúcia de SouzaMariane Fernandes Ribeiro RESUMO A síndrome de Down apresenta algumas características particulares, e dentre elas, o déficit de equilíbrio é uma das consequências. A equoterapia é um método terapêutico que vem sendo utilizada por trazer benefícios a estes pacientes, incluindo a melhora do equilíbrio. O atual artigo foi realizado para averiguar os efeitos da equoterapia e sua melhora do quadro de equilíbrio em indivíduos com síndrome de Down. Foi realizada a busca pela base de dados: PubM… Show more
“…Tais processos de reeducação dos mecanismos de reflexos posturais, reações de equilíbrio e percepções espaço-temporais acontecem devido a repetição de movimentos fornecidos, o que pode favorecer a neuroplasticidade (Copetti et al, 2007;Lopes et al, 2019). Fernandes et al (2018) verificaram em seu estudo que a Terapia com Equinos proporciona melhora do equilíbrio estático e dinâmico e de força muscular em crianças com SD, porém identificaram a necessidade de outras pesquisas com o intuito de ressaltar o que de melhor o método ainda pode oferecer.…”

“…Os autores concluíram que oferecer a terapia com equinos de forma complementar à fisioterapia permite maior eficácia na melhora da independência funcional de crianças com SD. Porém, assim como também exposto por Fernandes et al (2018), foi verificada limitação nas evidências relacionadas ao diagnóstico de SD.…”
The motor and cognitive development of babies with Down Syndrome (DS) is marked by clinical characteristics that impact on their performance. Early stimulation can help to minimize damage to this baby's development. Among the strategies for intervention is Equine Assisted Therapy, which provides physical, psychological and educational gains through the resources of the horse and its environment. The aim of this study was to describe aspects of the motor and cognitive development of babies with DS during their participation in an early sensory stimulation program with horses. The participants were four babies (1 to 2 years old) who attended 20 sessions either once or twice a week. The instruments used were: 1) A protocol for early sensory stimulation with horses and 2) A checklist for evaluating behavior during the sessions. The results were analyzed in five categories: relationship with the team, reaction to the proposed activities, relationship with the animal, interest in touching the animal and sensitivity in contact with the animal. Positive interaction with the staff was observed, with displays of affection. As for the interaction with the animal, all the babies showed interest in the contact, which favored the learning acquired. Over the course of the sessions, a greater motor repertoire and readiness to execute the movements needed to carry out the activities were noted. In conclusion, the importance of early sensory stimulation with horses can be highlighted in order to favor different domains of sensorimotor development in babies with DS.
