[… and Riding as Well? Case Report about the Treatment of an Infant with Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome]. There is a growing number of children surviving birth complications with severe, multiple disabilities. Unfortunately, this is not paralleled by equal growth in knowledge about adequate therapeutic approaches. Some publications showed that Hippotherapy could, under certain circumstances, be a very useful complimentary therapy for a range of disabilities. But it remains unclear if riding could even help a quadriplegic individual with multiple brain damage and tracheal ventilation. Methods: In this case study we examined the effect of horse riding on the mobility of joints and heart rate in a li...
[Basic principles and effects of hippotherapy within the comprehensive treatment of paraplegic patients]. A total of 67 patients, both paraplegic and quadriplegic, had participated in a hippotherapy programme over a study period of almost 18 months, with positive effects found relative to spasticity, certain pain syndromes, as well as contraction syndromes associated with impaired joint mobility. Frequently the only effective measure at all, and moreover of astonishingly lasting effect, the spasticity-reducing treatment turned out especially beneficial. Along with these statistically supported findings, a number of associated effects were noted in the physiotherapy and, especially, the nursing sec...
[Motor goals of therapeutic horseback riding for cerebral palsied children (author’s transl)]. The article reviews in a critical survey the current opinions on the possibilities of improving the motor functions of cerebral palsied children with the help of riding therapy. Furthermore, the essential motor difficulties with spasm, athetosis and ataxia are described. It is demonstrated that only a small number of these typical difficulties can be tackled by means of riding therapy and that some key problems, particularly encountered by the spastics, cannot be solved. If, despite these facts, the favourable effects of riding on the cerebral palsied cannot be denied, then this must be attrib...
[Scientific fundamentals of hippo- and riding therapy – a compilation of study results (author’s transl)]. The article surveys some of the scientific fundamentals of hippo- and riding therapy, and its methods using the characteristic horseback three dimensional rhythmic movement impulses for its therapeutic values, particularly in cerebral palsy. The influence of riding on posture and balance reactions, position of the pelvic, postures of head and trunk as well as rotatory movements was demonstrated in film studies using the cerebral palsied with different syndromes as an example. Electromyographic examinations of antagonistic muscle groups, kinesiologic analyses with the help of a video-recorder, ...
[The cologne riding course for the blind. Original information on a didactic-methodical approach (author’s transl)]. Since November 1973 a riding course has been carried out with six blind adults. Due to the instructional methods the participants were able to ride independently, without an attendant, after only 30 hours. The effects of riding on the blind encompass coordination training and development of muscle strength. Furthermore, riding has a pronounced influence on the circulatory system. This attractive reaction activity provides the person who, as a result of his specific handicapping condition is limited in both the spatial and social fields, with an expansion of his living space and sphere of exper...
