The disease is characterizedby frequent fractures, as well as by deformations of different types. The treatment of patients suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta with medicinal gymnastics has attracted an attention and obtained the recognition only in the recent years. Taking into accounta specificity of the disease we have tried to enhance the process of bone remodelingusing an original method of ridetherapy and at the same time to induce reinforcement of muscular system which would decrease the number of fractures and give the possibility of independent movement to children suffering from this disease.

The… Show more (+) The joint travel of a man with a horse began many thousand years ago and it still goes on. The external world changes, the civilisation development limits it greatly in time and space, but luckily, the horse's nature does not change. Contrary to the appearances, the human nature has not changed, either. What changed, are conditions in which the man comes to develop, to grow up and live in our times. The civilisation revolutionwe witness changes all our life. The greatest changes, however, take place in life of the youngest representatives of the society, and certain dangers are related to it.

Many of my patients experience serious difficulties in communicating with their surroundings due to varying levels of mental handicap, central nervous system damage, or simple delay in speech development. These problems are manifested either in the lack of or difficulties with verbal expression, or in the lack of any understandable forms for conveying messages using sound or gesture.The basic question I ever address is, "exactly how is speech to serve my handicapped patients?".I wish to present in this paper my thoughts and experience in working with children with serious difficulties in communicating, along with the way in which hippotherapy sessions are helpful in developing their communication skills.To begin with, let us examine some notions connected with communication.

Most of the… Show more (+) Chronic low back pain is one of the most common disabilities among adults in the industrial countries. Most of the patients who use the services of the Kainuu Central hospital pain clinic suffer from low back pain. IASP (International Association of the study of Pain) defines pain as unpleasant sensory or emotional experience with possible or clear tissue damage, or which is described at the same way. Acute and chronic pain differ from each other clearly. Acute pain warns about danger that is threatening the human body. This starts us to evaluate the situation and to act upon the danger. Behind an acute pain is always some somatic disturbance or disease. Acute pain causes also many changes in the autonomic nervous system; blood pressure, muscle tension and heart rate raise when the body is in the alarm position. Chronic pain doesn't warn the body about threatening danger because clear pathology doesn't always exist. Chronic pain reduces human life. It causes zest for life, tiring and reluctance. The chronic pain brings also following symptoms: sleeping disturbances, depression, social isolation, unemployment and loss of control of life. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Apart from the experience relating to the direct physical contact with the horse, the emotional aspects of the relationship (grooming, care, feeding etc) were also examined.In addition I explored the influence of illness-related personality trails as well as changing, life-altering conditions on the subjective perception of the riding therapy.Since I also considered it important to take into account the point of view and theopinions of riding therapists who work with anorexia people, I conducted a written survey on the relevant findings, experiences and working approaches on the part of the therapists.

Riding therapy education and training is viewed as a complimentary process. The educational and training program is multi formal and is for three years. Course periodscan alternate with independent study and practical hands on training. The goal of this educational process is to enable the riding therapist to apply the concepts in their areaof professional expertise. The cost for riding therapy is usually covered by the National Insurance Hospitals, or by the insurance companies. A normal session consists of one hour and often includes exercises with the horse and in the stable before mounting. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Six week riding programme evaluating the effect on the sensory, motor and biomechanical systems using three outcome measures, the Rhomberg, the Timed Up and Go, and the Spinal Alignment and Range of Movement Measure, (SAROMM).Results Clinically significant change to the Rhomberg and development of symmetry. Timed Up and Go result becoming age matched to that of an able-bodied person. Clinical and statistical improvement to the SAROMM was demonstrated, mainly affected by the change to hip range of movement.Conclusion Therapeutic riding has demonstrated improvements to the three primary systems involved with postural control. The case study was completed using outcome measures easily reproduced in clinical practice. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Respiration and motor speech measurements were taken prior to initiation of intervention, before and after each of seven hippotherapy sessions, and after cessation of intervention. Improvement in each measurement from both participants after each hippotherapy session was documented. The participant with spastic cerebral palsy demonstrated greater effects than the participant with athetoid cerebral palsy and the motor speech measurements improved more than the respiratory measurements. Hippotherapy appears to facilitate improved motor coordination resulting in immediate improved respiratory function and control of speech in persons with cerebral palsy. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

This disturbance is a result of abnormalities on afferent stimulation of the integration of these stimuli to the cerebral trunk or the cerebellum. This provokes an abnormal sensory input producing a cycle, repetition of abnormal movements and postures-deficit of tonic adjustments. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||
