Participants 1–3 performed the TUG whereas participant 4 found sit-to-stand transitions challenging, making the TUG impractical. Therefore, participants 1–3 performed TUG and participant 4 performed 10 mWT. On average, the times taken to finish the TUG decreased by 18.3% and 27.5% for session 4 and session 8 compared to session 1, respectively (Fig. 5). A few exceptions existed. For example, subjects 2 showed increased TUG after HPOT session 4 compared to session 1 whereas subject 3 showed increased TUG before HPOT session 4 compared to session 1.

Benda et al. [ 10] noted that in addition to developing skills, HPOT provides social, emotional, cognitive, and physical stimulation in a way not typically seen in conventional treatment. HPOT has been shown to positively influence skill acquisition, including balance and postural control, the foundations of movement. In this study, we questioned whether HPOT can lead to improved functional mobility in children with CP. Outcome measures demonstrated a trend towards improvements in the functional mobility of participants, indicating a positive response to the physical therapy treatments incorporating equine movement.

Improvements in muscle symmetry in children with cerebral palsy after equine-assisted therapy (hippotherapy). J Altern Complement Med. 2003;9(6):817–25. A study by Uchiyama et al. [ 24] used acceleration data to evaluate the similarity between the movements of children and horse based on the hypothesis that the horse’s pelvic movement during therapeutic riding sessions are similar to the human pelvic movement while walking. Three-dimensional accelerometers collected acceleration of both horses and humans walking for a three-minute period and stride-phase data was generated from foot movements. The results showed that the frequency peaks of human walking corresponded with those of the horse walking, especially during the stride-phase. The authors concluded that riding a horse at a walk provides sensory and motor input to the rider comparable to the human activity of walking, thus offering a potential treatment option for individuals with gait abnormalities [ 24].

Phys Ther. 2016;96(12):1938–54. The three participants who had hemiplegia ambulated without assistance but demonstrated diminished balance skills and decreased cadence. All wore bilateral ankle-foot orthotics (AFO). The youngest child had a submalleolar orthotic inside her AFO to increase ankle stability and walked with hip internal rotation on the right, her affected lower extremity. Following HPOT sessions, the internal rotation was less pronounced. The same held true for the pre-kindergarten child who demonstrated right hip internal rotation more before his HPOT sessions than when walking after his treatments. Anecdotally, the youngest child (age 32 months) did not comply with instructions to sit in the chair at the end of the test; instead, just prior to sitting she chose to go look for her mother.

Physical therapy treatments incorporating equine movement are recognized as an effective tool to treat functional mobility and balance in children with cerebral palsy (CP). To date, only a few studies examined kinematic outputs of the horses and children when mounted. In this pilot study, to better understand the effectiveness of this type of treatment, we examined the interaction between the horses and children with CP during physical therapy sessions where equine movement was utilized. Methods Woollacott M, Shumway-Cook A. Postural dysfunction during standing and walking in children with cerebral palsy: what are the underlying problems and what new therapies might improve balance? Neural Plast. 2005;12(2–3):211–9. Another factor supporting HPOT as a treatment strategy is that the movement of the horse at a walk follows a sinusoidal wave pattern [ 20, 38]. This pattern puts a demand on the rider’s automatic postural responses as they must coordinate and control their movements [ 13, 19]. Also, the dynamic treatment and changing environment may affect multiple systems, including vestibular and proprioceptive systems [ 12, 14]. With the dynamic movement on the horse, compensatory postural strategies may be reinforced or explored [ 17, 19]. The cyclical and repetitive movements provide numerous opportunities for practice of postural adjustments [ 12]. Silkwood-Sherer et al. [ 17] suggested that with this type of therapy children can improve reactive and anticipatory postural control strategies in response to complex sensory input. Maintaining postural control while simultaneously moving through space and adjusting perceptual skills, facilitates the refinement and exploration of new movement patterns, which in turn, enhances functional mobility [ 17]. To analyze how the riders and horses interact, we examined the vertical acceleration, ACCz, from all sensors for the following reasons. First of all, acceleration can be considered as an interaction force between the horse and rider normalized by the rider’s body mass. Several studies also have reported that leg acceleration and ground reaction force are highly correlated while running [ 30, 31]. Therefore, even though acceleration is a kinematic variable, it conveys the information on the cause of the movement, not like other kinematic variables including position, velocity, and orientation. Even though Uchiyama et al. [ 24] also investigated acceleration, they simply compared acceleration of human walking and acceleration of horse walking to examine the similarity of their walking, but didn’t study how horse’s walking affects human’s movement. Second, we decided to focus on the vertical direction since the vertical up-and-down movement of the center of mass (1) is dominant and energy-efficient [ 32, 33] and (2) involves with significantly larger impulse due to the gravity as opposed to any other directions [ 34]. ACCz indicates changes in gravity that generate physical changes in movements of the body [ 35], and may represent the interaction force normalized by the mass of the body. In this study, we analyzed the data from the first 10 min of the sessions (Fig. 1), when the equine movement was continuous, to observe the uninterrupted repetitive and rhythmical patterns. Data from the second half of the sessions will be analyzed in the future study. Encheff J, Armstrong C, Masterson M, Fox C, Gribble P.

Eight 20-min physical therapy sessions incorporating HPOT were conducted (Fig. 1). A series of figure-of-eight patterns were made, at a steady pace, across the arena for the initial 10 min. For the second 10-min period, the horse continued the pattern, walking at the same steady pace but with walk-halt-walk transitions at 1-min intervals. Three of the four children were given a ring-shaped toy to hold with both hands during the second 10-min period, to reduce the impulse for upper extremity protective extension with changes in perturbations. The fourth child was not given a toy as she needed her hands on a weight-bearing surface to maintain stability. The first half of the session allowed the riders to feel to the slow, rhythmical, multi-dimensional aspect of the horse’s gait at a walk. The second part of the session further challenged the rider’s balance, righting reactions, and trunk control.

Here are some of the categories we have and how they can work for you and your needs: Last, many children with CP are restricted by slow gait speed which is one measure of walking performance [ 1, 38, 39]. Quality of life and functional ability are also linked to walking [ 5]. While the findings from this study are not statistically significant, it is noteworthy that the participant who performed the 10mWT demonstrated a considerable improvement in gait speed. Her walking speed improved substantially during the course of the study and her parents reported a significant increase in her transfer skills at home. These results corroborate the findings observed by Casady and Nichols Larson [ 12] that HPOT may influence skill acquisition of motor tasks in daily functional tasks.

The primary goal of any physical therapy treatment is to improve a patient’s functional ability [ 1]. Functional mobility is defined as the way a person moves within their environment on a daily basis to interact with society and family [ 2]. Healthcare providers frequently treat individuals with cerebral palsy who have deficits in functional mobility as well as in other domains. The diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a non-progressive lesion in the developing brain which affects a person’s ability to move [ 3]. CP is the most common cause of motor disability in children [ 2, 4, 5] and Kirby et al. [ 4] reported that the prevalence of CP is 3.3 per 1000 births in the United States, with 75–81% of those diagnosed with spastic CP. It often causes poor balance and muscle weakness [ 3]. These deficits lead to decreased postural control, which is essential for all movements [ 6, 7]. Further, poor balance adversely affects functional mobility which in turn affects activities of daily living [ 8]. Physical therapists work with this population to facilitate improved motor function to enhance daily life [ 9]. Therapy often spans years for individuals with CP, making it challenging for therapists to find a variety of effective, evidenced-based treatments that are also motivating for the patient over a long period of time. This study is intended to contribute an evidence-based treatment option for physical therapists, one that may be considered novel, enjoyable, and appealing when compared to traditional therapy techniques.
