The results of a controlled clinical study (conducted in 1988/89 at the Reginal Hospital in Haar near Munich) indicate that psychopathology and negative symptoms can be influenced. The different results produced by time-limited therapy courses versus long-term treatment become evident. Three case studies with differing outcomes are described. Therapeutic riding as therapy for chronically schizophrenic psychosis offers the possibility of treating therapy-resistant ond "unreachable" patients with the help of the horse and thus achieving an amelioration of symptoms and an improvement of the quality of life.

In our study we focused on primary and secondary scoliosis The problem most often encountered in management of these patients is non-compliance to the rehabilitation exercise or to the medical recommendations We attempted to include horseback riding to the repertoire of physiotherapeutic measures.Elements of sports training are also used in the treatment of the musculosceletal system. The demands on the spinal column during horseback riding positively influence the development of posture, lead to a decrease of muscle tension, and improve body coordination and balance The main principles influencing the spinal column are an equitable, rhythmical change of pressure, the loading and unloading of vertebral discs, and the necessity of a continual change of short in :, vertebral muscle contractions and relaxations that adapt riders' postures to the horseback riding movement.Medical indicotions for this physiotherapy are, for example, muscle insufficiency of the pelvic girdle, hyper mobility, scoliosis up to 20 degrees of Cobb, kyphosis without structural changes and pseudoradicular pains.Physiotherapy must be prescribed by a medical doctor who uses continuos mild increments of loads, uses an appropriate manner of riding and is in dose contact with the horseback riding trainer, who is responsible for the training and the selection of suitable horses.Posture was assessed using vertebrography, a simple and non-invasive method which enabled the continuous monitoring of spinal column deviations Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

They use adults to aid the children to learn and aids to help them accomplish their goals. To integrate the two completely, there are a number of additional CE concepts required; introduction of the task series, hand function, cognitive skills, language and rhythmical intention, the theme and generalisation.A group of ten CP children from the Craig halbert Centre were introduced to RDA and the CE system of learning was implemented. The merge of the two approaches worked extremely well.Much discussion and planning was needed to construct this merge but as the two concepts complemented each other and maximised the children's potential, the extra work was well worth it.The aim of this paper is to identify the similarities between Therapeutic Riding for the Disabled and Conductive Education. It will further explore the possibilities for integrating the two approaches. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Some of these riders were working with RDA groups and some were receiving hippotherapy.I used an electronic measuring device (Penny and Giles electronic goniometerl which was fastened to the rider's lower back. This measured the angle of the pelvis in relation to the lumbar spine and recorded degrees of movement in the pelvis (both forwards - backwards, or anterior/posterior tilt and side-to-side or lateral tilt of the pelvis) with every step or movement of the horse.The measurements were recorded and stored in a mini computer the size of a pocket calculator. This was held in place by a belt round the waist and did not interfere in any way with the movements. Riders were quickly able to forget it was there.At the end of the ride, the information in the mini computer was transfered to the main computer, which turned the movements into graph form and allowed printouts to be mode of the results.All rides were also recorded on videocamera, so that any anomalies on the graphs could be picked up.

In fact we have found that severe mentally disabled subiects show only a minor increase of HR (on the overage up to about 20 b/min above resting values), while in motor impaired subjects, without severe mental deficiency, the increose is much higher Ion the overage up to about 35 b/min above resting), with occasional peaks up to a HR of 160-170 b/min. The increase in HR is due in part to the enhanced energy requirement of riding and, in port, presumably, to psychological factors.We have also suggested (1-2) that when the THR sessions are performed for 45-60 minutes, at least two or three times a week, a training effect on the cardiorespiratory and muscular systemsmight be hypothesised.Even if HR 'per se' can be assumed as a reliable index of the cardiovascular stressond of the energy requirement of the subject particularly during isotonic exercise (3), during THR this might not be true. In fact many confounding factors such as isometric exercise, increased muscular tone, unexpected psychological reactions to riding might dissociate HR to the energy requirement.With these in mind, and on the basis of the fact that we were not able to find any work in the literature on the energetics of THR, the present study was aimed to evaluate the energy requirement of a typical THR session in patients of different severity, thus separating the role played by emotional, in respect to metabolic factors increasing the HR.This evaluation, moreover, has a twofold practical purpose, i.e. to analyse if the intensity of a THR session is severe enough Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Since 1986, the Medical Committee has acted in an advisory and service capacity to NARHA. It has in porticular addressed questions on precautions and contra indications in therapeutic riding - that is, who should ride, how should she or he ride, what background information should be obtained, what documentation should be required of the riding centre, and others. The eorly membership of this committee consisted of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and therapeutic riding instructors. And, from 1986 to present day, many questions ore posed to the Medical Committee by the NARHA membership, and many tasks assigned to it by the NARHA Boord of Directors. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Following this I will present some support aims of the psychomotoric therapy. In this way I will finally come to the presentation of the observation sheet, which I developed for movement control in the Hippotherapy. Psychomotoric as a general term, means wholesome development including neurological, sensorial and psychosocial development, connected with learning of motoric skills. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The questionnaires brought more replies this year than previouslyThe main orientation in education and training is Sports. Psycho-educational riding and vaulting is a second maior orientation; Hippotherapy; while third, is growing rapidly Additional training is given in Driving, Psychomotricity and Horse TrainingI have been asked about the trends that t see for future development in training. I have the impression that countries are completing their training programmes in all three disciplines, and if necessary adding basic training for instructors and horses. There seems to be another trend regarding the sub-specialities. For example, working with the horse for the motor development of very young children, or for psychotherapy and psychiatric rehabilitation of adults. These will be based on thorough training in one of the three branches, then amplified in special courses during the basic professional training of the therapists.The exchange of experiences in methods ond troining os initiated by the Federation ROt has been a really worthwhile stimulus and the awareness of conditions for quality and safety are spreading" Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Recordings were token during locomotion before riding, while on the horse and one hour after hippotherapy.Special software was developed for the evaluation, and graphing, of the effects of therapy on the rhythm and regulority of gait, and on co-ordination porameters in the registered signals. Several calculated porameters were tested statistically (SPSSj.Variability of step phases during gait and co-octivation factors of musclegroups were found to be good parameters for evaluating the effects of hippotherapy on spasticity and ataxia.The resultsshow that it is obviously not possible to get uniform outcomes valid for all patients. An important reason for the lock of unity in the outcome results is the variance in the paftern of symptoms as presented by patients.Looking at single cases, we found positive effects of hippotherapy subject to individual symptoms in 6 of 9 cases. These effects occurred with short latency after therapy sessions. Single cases will be discussed in this paper. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Then, many of us called what we did Riding far the Handicapped; offering horseback riding as an adapted sport and recreation for individuals with a wide variety of disabling conditions. We went on to become more sophisticated, recognising that what we did had therapeutic benefits; and in some European countries research was conducted to prove the therapeutic benefits of using the horse.
