“…However, a review of the literature found that this scale had been used previously in studies of the effects of hippotherapy among CP patients. Hamill et al applied it in assessing the postures of children with cerebral palsy undergoing hippotherapy over 10 weeks [10], while Herrero et al used the SAS to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a hippotherapy simulator among patients with cerebral palsy [11].…”

Cerebrally palsied children demonstrated limited independence while performing various activities of daily living, which is due to disorders of postural control. The best solution to improve postural con trol is the use of therapies that simultaneously focus on the sense of balance and motor skills. Such possibilities for patients with cerebral palsy are offered, for example, by hippotherapy.Objective. To assess the influence of hippotherapy on body balance in the sitting position among children with cerebral palsy. Material and methods. The study enrolled thirty-nine children aged 6-12 years with GMFCS level 1 or 2 spastic diplegia or spastic hemiplegia. The participants were divided into an intervention group (n = 19) and a control group (n = 20). Children from the intervention group attended 30 minutes of hippotherapy once weekly for 12 consecutive weeks. The Sitting Assessment Scale (SAS) was used to assess the patients' posture and balance.Results. Some children improved their posture and balance during the study. Generally, control of trunk and head position and function of arms were getting better, while footwork was the weakest.Conclusion. Hippotherapy has positive effects on the position and function of ind...

“…Therefore, many studies have explored horse riding equipment that offers horse-like movements, which is used to treat various diseases [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. But so far, a study on change of static balance ability by targeting patient with stroke is not sufficient in reality.…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of horse-riding simulator exercise on the static balance of chronic stroke patients. The study's sample included 30 stroke patients who were randomly classified into an experiment group and a control group. Both the experiment and control groups received therapeutic exercise one time per day, but the experiment group also received twenty minutes of horse-riding simulator exercise three times per week for six weeks. To compare the groups, an independent t-test was performed, and to compare each period, a paired t-test was conducted and its result was analyzed. The result of this study, moving distance under standing position with eyes closed, showed significant difference in horse-riding simulator exercise group after exercise. But, there was no significant difference between horse-riding simulator exercise group and control group. Further, various clinical studies focusing on effects of horseback riding exercise on function of stroke patients are needed.

“…El grupo control recibió un programa de ejercicios, mientras que el grupo estudio recibió el tratamiento de hipoterapia, además del mismo programa de ejercicios que el grupo A. Al finalizar el programa de hipoterapia observaron una mejoría significativa en todas las variables de medición de los dos grupos, pero con una mayor mejoría en el grupo que había realizado las sesiones de hipoterapia. Herrero et al (2012) investigaron si la hipoterapia (cuando se aplica por un simulador) mejora el control postural y el equilibrio en los niños con parálisis cerebral. Para ello seleccionaron treinta y ocho niños de entre 4 y 18 años de edad con parálisis cerebral.…”

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. AbstractThis work aims to review the existing scientific literature in order to check the effects of equestrian therapies on people with cerebral palsy. 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.

Study of the therapeutic effects of a hippotherapy simulator in children with cerebral palsy: a stratified single-blind randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Hippotherapy with a simulator can improve sitting balance in cerebral palsy children who have higher levels of disability. However, this did not lead to a change in the overall function of these children (Gross Motor Function Classification System level V).
