" (F.J.Buytendijk)"For man and animal movement is an expression (sign) of life."(F.J.Buytendijk)These two definitions of movement describe different aspects: a pure jUnctional one and a more experiential aspect. This paper defines movement in its common dimensions like space - time - gravity and reveals a fourth aspect which is important for movement development. This is the movementdialogue as a basic communication means. Like Anna Freud's concept of developmental lines, four movement developmental lines are drawn to unfold an understanding for psychic and psychomotor dimensions of Developmental Riding.A short case study serves as an example for remedial aspects of treatment with the help of horses.

Many researchers mentioned the discrepancy between the quantitative and the qualitative results. A possible explanation for this discrepancy is given. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The same can be said of all serious riders working towards achieving a balanced centered riding position with their weight evenly distributed through both seat bones (ischial tuberosities) and down through the heels. Correct posture requires the centre of gravity to be over the base of support, the feet. For many years the "ideal" riding position has been described as one in which a plumb line would pass through the rider's ear, shoulder, hip, and heel. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The term "Riding Therapy" has different connotations in different countries. In the United Kingdom RDA understands their objective as providing disabled people with the opportunity of riding and driving to benefit their health and well being.The aim in RDA group rides is to teach riding and for riders to enjoy their riding experience (this also includes stable management).

Perception is dependent upon the senses. The horse has the same five senses that we do: Visual, Olfactory, Auditory, Tactile, and Gustatory. They differ from ours, however, and the horse, therefore, perceives its world differently than we do. The flightiness of this prey creature would not serve to keep it alive in a natural habitat populated with carnivorous, predatory species unless it could detect their approach. Overwhelmingly, that is the primary function of the horse's senses, just as its anatomical and physiological adaptations must serve to allow the flight response to have the speed to escape danger.

In addition, a number of informal discussions were held on the same subject. This paper outlines the subjects discussed at these session, and outlines the steps undertaken by the FRDI to address the issues raised Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

When I do, I am referring to the other common domestic species with which the American veterinarians are trained (cattle, swine, sheep, goats, dogs and cats). There are, of course, other domestic species which are less cornmon, such as water buffalo, the llama, and the dromedary. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

L Longden, personal communication, February, 1998). It has been noted that people with disabilities are often treated with overprotective and demotivating attitudes. If this is so then the riders in RDA may be being denied the incentives necessary for them to reach their full riding potential. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The hippotherapy was integrated into their existing physiotherapy management and was planned in blocks of 6 - 10 sessions.Each child was jointly assessed by the physiotherapist managing their care and the physiotherapist practising the hippotherapy. The children were reassessed after each block and improvements measured. Both children made significant improvements in their walking pattern. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The study considers thepsychological adjustment of spinal cord injured people. It involves patients with paraplegia and partial tetraplegia who, following residential rehabilitation, are out- patients at the Austin and Repatriation Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Horse riding is used as the intervention. It is expected that the study will continue over the next 3 years. The results relating to each variable and the patterns of variables will be reported and discussed in the light of the work that has gone before. Show less (-) | €5.00 |
