Trunk and pelvis biomechanical responses in children with cerebral palsy and with typical development during horseback riding. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have poor postural control. Horseback riding (HR) is an alternative treatment shown to improve postural control among children with CP. However, there is a paucity of research investigating the underlying mechanisms responsible for improving postural control during HR. What are the three-dimensional biomechanical responses of the trunk and pelvis during HR among children with CP and with typical development (TD)? The participants, aged 4-12 years old, were inexperienced horseback riders, consisting of 10 children with TD and 10 children with spastic diplegia C...
Influence of artificial saddle riding on postural stability in children with cerebral palsy. Stability of quiet upright stance was investigated in 25 children with cerebral palsy at the beginning and the end of a 3-month period of therapy involving 20 min microprocessor-controlled saddle riding, performed twice a week. The traditional parameters of postural sway based on the centre-of-pressure analysis (range, standard deviation, mean speed and mean radius) dropped significantly over time confirming advantageous influence of this treatment. As a complementary tool, an autoregressive modelling technique was used allowing us to establish after each single ride considerable decreases in ...
