The benefit of hippotherapy for improvement of attention and memory in children with cerebral palsy: A pilot study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: The research is based on an assumption that the hypokinesia induced by cerebral palsy (CP) leads to inhibition of some mental functions. The method we used to treat patients with CP, hippotherapy (HT), is a treatment using horses and belongsto proprioceptive-neuromuscular-facilitative methods. Objective: The aim of the research was to determine the benefit of HT on attention and memory of patients with CP. Methods: There were two groups of patients: short-term HT (n = 11; 8 females and 3 males, age 15.4 +- 5.3 years) and long-term HT (n = 9; 7 females and 2 males, age 10.8 +- 2.7 years). The short-term HT group participated in daily 30 minute-long HT sessions for duration of a week-long summer therapy camp; while with the long-term HT group, HT sessions of the same length were used weekly for 5-6 weeks. Attention and memory skills were assessed with "Numeric square test" and "Verbal learning test", respectively. Both tests were undertaken before starting and after concludi
