The effect of hippotherapy on gait in patients with spastic cerebral palsy

Original language description

BACKGROUND: Disorders of motor skills, especially regarding gait, are prevalent in nearly all forms of cerebral palsy. Through a horse's back movement, the patient is exposed to proprioceptive stimulation, thus improvement in gait performance could be expected. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to determine the effect of hippotherapy on gait in patients with spastic cerebral palsy METHODS: Eleven subjects (age 14.3 +- 4.8 years, height 148.2 +- 17.6 cm, weight 43.3 +- 20.2 kg) with spastic cerebral palsy participated in the study. Gait assessment was performed before and after a weeklong stay. The hippotherapy was conducted daily. Kinematic data from three trials for each child was obtained using the Vicon MX system (seven infrared cameras, frequency200 Hz). Comparison of ankle, knee, hip and pelvis movement before and after hippotherapy intervention was performed in Statistica (version 10.0) using the Wilcoxon test. To determine the effect size, Cohen's d was used. RESULTS: After c
