This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Czech Republic, hippotherapy has been applied by healthcare professionals for more than 30 years. The education system has been well developed with the focus on a complex understanding of horse movement and behaviour, human development and movement, hippotherapy principles and treatment strategies. This methodology was created in 2015 to certify the hippotherapy course within the Czech Ministry of Health. However, the process is still ongoing, but the methodology facilitated creating hippotherapy courses in English. It is intended for therapist practising hippotherapy or hippotherapy students. There are 50+ photos of the hippotherapy positions in a horse, equipment, therapeutic aids and forms.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Cerebral palsy (CP) presents a multitude of physical therapy challenges, and recent innovations have surfaced to confront some of these difficulties to produce better functional outcomes for children with CP. Hippotherapy utilizes physical therapy techniques while on horseback and has proven to be beneficial in several neuromusculoskeletal disorders, particularly cerebral palsy. In addition, horseback riding simulators have been created to mimic a horse's natural movement, removing potential barriers seen with hippotherapy. Methods: Peer-reviewed articles within the last decade were obtained, which identified children with cerebral palsy and their functional motor outcomes after the use of either hippotherapy or horseback riding simulator therapy. Results: The majority of the studies address the use of hippotherapy and identify one or a few aspects of functional motor outcomes within a small sample size. Current research is very limited with regard to horseback riding simulators, particularly the Joba device. Furthermore, this literature review was unable to find research that compared hippotherapy, horseback riding therapy, and traditional physical therapy in children with cerebral palsy. Conclusions: Further research is needed with regard to the long-term functional effects of hippotherapy and horseback riding therapy, when compared to traditional physical therapy. Identifying alternative physical therapies will personalize each patient's therapy, ideally leading to better functional outcomes and possibly identifying psychological benefits.
Download or read book Upper Extremity Function Activity Participation and Engagement Before and After Hippotherapy in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Cerebral Palsy written by Julia Mazzarella and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive motor disorder resulting from injury to the brain. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction and adaptive behavior. Together, CP and ASD are the second- and third-most-common developmental disabilities. While ASD is not primarily a motor disorder, up to 80% of children with ASD have motor delays. Impairments in upper extremity coordination are present in many children with CP and ASD. Physical therapy is often utilized for children with CP and ASD to improve motor function. Participation outcomes are often the most important element of PT to children with CP and ASD and their families. Participation is a component of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health framework, which refers to participation in life situations. Upper extremity function can play a major role in participation, as the upper extremities are commonly involved in leisure, play, and school activities. Physical therapy (PT) using hippotherapy and the equine environment shows promise for improving function and participation in children with CP and ASD. There is also preliminary evidence that hippotherapy might be effective in improving upper extremity function in children with CP. Hippotherapy is the use of equine movement in therapy, and PT in the equine environment refers to any other therapeutic activities involving equines or aspects of the equine environment. While reach and grasp are inherent to many upper extremity activities, there are few outcome measures to evaluate reach and grasp abilities. The measures that are available involve clinical observation and subjective scoring of performance which could be affected by rater bias. Three-dimensional (3D) motion capture offers an objective and quantitative measurement of human movement and is the gold standard for evaluating gait in motor-impaired populations. A few studies have used 3D motion capture to evaluate reach kinematics with performance of functional tasks important for daily living, such as reaching to eat or drink, in school-aged children with typical development and those with motor disabilities. Aim 1 built upon previous research to identify normal ranges of timing and coordination in upper extremity movement during functional reach-and-grasp tasks in children with typical development. To do so, differences in end-point kinematics of upper extremity movement between functional reach-to-drink, reach-to-eat, and bimanual (two-handed) tasks were evaluated in n=71 school-aged children. Specifically, speed, straightness, and smoothness of hand movement was compared between tasks, phases of the tasks, unilateral and bilateral tasks, and dominant and non-dominant hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hippotherapy, or equine-assisted therapy, is a developmental tool for children and young adults with disabilities, conducted by trained physical, occupational, and speech therapists and assistants in areas focusing on motor skills including balance, agility, strengthening and coordination. Within its framework across the nation, hippotherapy is a specialized therapy for neuromotor challenges such as cerebral palsy. As hippotherapy is one of many complex developmental intervention strategies within both non-profit and clinical services, it is being explored more in recent years through academic research to better define its place as a clinical and educational tool. To better understand hippotherapy as a clinical or educational tool this qualitative case study presents the perspectives of one family who were involved in hippotherapy for their daughter with autism. My findings show that hippotherapy as a supplemental resource tool utilizing ABA therapy helps with self-awareness, self-management, social responsiveness and helps a child learn to regulate emotions. Therapies strengthening motor skills, vestibular and sensory functioning, help with balance and coordination, resilience, visual tracking and with communication. My recommendation is for hippotherapy to be included in best-practice resource lists as a social and emotional learning resource.

Book excerpt: Living with autism comes with a unique set of challenges and obstacles. Even though autistic people are intelligent, they learn and communicate differently than people around them. This can cause them to struggle socially, at school, and in the work environment. While there is no medication to cure autism, many therapies have arisen to help autistic people live better lives. Among these options is hippotherapy, which is therapy using horse riding to promote better balance, coordination, and strength. In addition to helping physically, hippotherapy is often combined with occupational, physical, and speech therapies to make learning easier for people with autism. The benefits of hippotherapy were first noticed by Greek philosopher Hippocrates, though the ideas would not be explored more until centuries later. The unique rhythm of a horse allows sensory input that interacts with the nervous system. This input makes it easier for someone to learn, which is the reason hippotherapy is often used along with speech, physical, and occupational therapy to make learning easier. Hippotherapy has also been studied with success in treating other neurological conditions like cerebral palsy and ADHD. Additionally, it has helped people recover from severe physical and traumatic brain injuries. For families looking for a solution that can improve the life of their loved one with autism, hippotherapy may be the perfect tool to help them learn new skills, create independence, and ultimately better their lives.
