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 | ||

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 | ||

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 | ||

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 | ||

Many of them are endowed with defensive weapons, and corresponding aggressive behaviour, which does not require great perceptive powers in order to be effective. For example the elephant, the Cape buffalo, and even the rhinoceros may be the target of the hunting lion. The size, strength, and weaponry of such animals may be all the defence they need.

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).

This concept tries to articulate a common denominator that can be accepted by all 'schools of psychiatry', and helps to avoid unnecessary quarrels only inhibiting the knowledge of any horse assisted treatment.

Men and horses thus find themselves sharing the same ecological niche. it needed only an interaction between the two species for there to exist, in their respective universes, a common element, mathematicians would speak of 'intersection of two sets'.Man, thanks to his stage of evolution, possesses the capacity to penetrate the relationship of cause and effect existing between signals given off by horses and their behaviour, and the horse, being made suitable for domestication by an enlarging of the selectivity of it's releaser signals, these two have been able to communicate with one another and establish commensal, and even symbiotic, relationships.

The child or adolescent with ADHD has more than a school or classroom problem; he/she has a total lifetime disability (Silver, 1992), with multi-dimensional effects on the emotional, social, cognitive, physiological and spiritual aspects of human development. Behavioural problems with most ADHD children are identified as: (a) impulsivity, (b) inattention, (c) hyperactivity, (d) decrease or no ability to respect others' personal boundaries, and (e) poor or negative self- esteem. There is a minimum of non-invasive techniques used to treat children with ADHD. Therefore the purpose of this research was to explore and describe the psychological effects of Equine Facilitated Physiotherapy (EFP) as a non- invasive intervention on behaviour and self-esteem in children with ADHD.

Two male volunteers, ages 9 and 10, who were able to ambulate independently and scored more than two standard deviations below scores on the balance subtest of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) participated in this study. Subjects rode a horse for one hour, three times a week, in a four-week riding program. Balance was assessed twice a week during the week prior to the start of the riding program and thereafter for the duration of the riding program. Standing balance was assessed using the six conditions of the Pediatric Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction for Balance (P- CTSIB). Walking balance was assessed by measuring the smoothness of their walking patterns using vertical, medial-lateral, and anterior-posterior head and trunk accelerations. In this single subject design the six scores from the P-CTSIB and the six accelerometry values averaged over 10 gait cycles were plotted over the five-week period to examine the existence of trends in the data that could be associated with the intervention. The most dramatic changes on the P-CTSIB occurred in the two support surface conditions with the eyes open. The positive trends in the other P-CTSIB measures tended to be more variable and less dramatic. The accelerometry data improved for one subject, but remained unchanged for the other subject whose values were within a normal range atthe beginning of the testing. The balance subtest of the BOTMP was repeated at the completion of the riding program and showed the scores for both subjects had improved to be within one standard deviation of normative scores. While it is not possible to rule out the influence of learning on the improvements in the P-CTSIB, when these results are taken in conjunction with the results from the gait analysis and the BOTMp, it was concluded that the improvements in the balance of these children was associated with the therapeutic riding program.
