“…The results of this study are in agreement with those from Costa et al (22), who found that hippotherapy improves both inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength in people with Down syndrome, despite the fact that there was no statistically significant difference and that the results were best in the youngest subjects. The current study was recently supported by Seo et al (23), who concluded that 4 weeks of horse-riding simulator training improved flexibility, FVC, and FEV1, but FEV1/FVC and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were not significantly different after training. It is believed that these benefits are due to stretching the paraspinal muscles, as they are repeatedly contracted and relaxed to maintain balance on an unstable surface.…”

“…Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure values have been shown to be better among people who practice hippotherapy, and the older the individual the better the inspiratory respiratory muscle strength (22). Horse-riding simulator training has a positive impact on FVC and FEV1 in healthy adults after 4 weeks' intervention (23) Previous research has focused on the impact of equine therapy on physical performance and mobility in children with cerebral palsy (CP), autism spectrum disorder, and in adults with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions (24). However, there is a lack of research into the impact of hippotherapy on pulmonary function and functional performance in adolescents with mild scoliosis.…”

Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is a common spinal malalignment that negatively impacts the respiratory system and physical conditioning in adolescents. Equine-assisted therapy comprises therapeutic horseback riding that optimizes physical performanceand mobility in a range of contexts. However, the influence of equine-assisted therapy on pulmonary function remains unclear.Objective: To examine the impact of 10 weeks of hippotherapy combined with Schroth exercises on pulmonary function and aerobic capacity in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.Methods: A randomized controlled trial including 45 patients, randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, was performed. Patients in the experimental group received 15 30-min sessions of hippotherapy over a period of 10 weeks. The 2 groups attended a 60-min session of Schroth exercises 3 times/week for 10 weeks. Pulmonary function and functional capacity were assessed before and after the intervention.Results: Pre- and post-intervention variables (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MVV and 6MWT) revealed significant improvement in both groups (p<0.05). The improvement in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion: The addition of hippotherapy to Schroth exercises resulted in improved pulmonary function and aerobic capacity in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

Purpose: This study was undertaken to identify the effect of amateur wind musical performance and choir activity on pulmonary function, and to determine the usefulness as a respiration training program by measuring the pulmonary functions of subjects. Methods: A total of 90 subjects (wind instrument players group= 30, choir members group= 30, control group= 30) participated in the experiment. Pulmonary function test (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC ratio, MVV, SVC, PEF, FEF 25-75%, IRV, ERV) was conducted using a spirometer (CardioTouch 3000S, Bionet, Seoul, Republic of Korea). Each factor was measured 3 times to meet the American Thoracic Society criteria, and the highest value was used in the analysis. Results: Comparing pulmonary function between the amateur wind instrument players (WP), amateur choir members (CH), and control (CG) groups revealed significant differences in FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, and ERV (p< 0.05). Highest values were obtained in the WP group. Significant differences were obtained for various factors in the multiple regression analysis of practice year (PY), practice time per week (PTPW), and exercise time per week (ETPW): FEV1 and FVC in PY, FEV1/FVC in PTPW, and FEV1/FVC, MVV, PEF, and FEF (25-75%) in ETPW. Conclusion: Amateur wind instrument performance effectively improves lung function and is useful as a breathing training program for preventing debilitation and improving respiratory function.
