(BOTELHO, 2003)The Hippotherapy (Equoterapia in Brazil) was selected as treatment, which accordingto A DE-BRASIL (Brazil's equivalent to ARHA), is a therapeutic and educational methodology that uses the horse within an interdisciplinary approach in the areas of health, education and horseback riding, searching the bio-psycho-social development on people with deficiency and/or special necessities. When the horse moves at the walk, it produces a three-dimensional motion on its back, in the three axis, up and down, forward and backward, to the right and to the left, besides a rotational component which makes the horse's pelvis suffer a rotation as if it were walking. The benefits of this therapy occur because stimulus are generated with rhythm, amplitude and speed capable of decreasing the muscular tonus through the slow vestibular stimulation. The proprioceptive information that children receive when they are on the horse favors the muscular tonus adaptation and facilitates normal motor function (FREIRE, 1999). Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The therapist must also initiate and support rapport between themselves and the horse as well as the client and the horse. Although much has been written on establishing rapport in the clinical environment, there is a paucity of writings on establishing rapport within this trichotomy (therapist-client-horse). The purpose of this paper is to highlight variables associated with establishing good therapeutic rapport within equine therapy (hippotherapy, equine-facilitated psychotherapy).

And… Show more (+) Transdisciplinarity is the subject of my presentation. This poetic prologue deals with diversity, the background of our therapeutic work. And pays two tributes: to Lady Oi and to Vincent Van Gogh. Metamorphosis, transformation and freedom are also present in it.How do we deal with diversity in our work, with differences, with transformation and with freedom? Transdisciplinarity is the proposition, the new paradigm.How to tackle diversity in our work, within our teams, is a challenge to all professionals who work with therapeutic riding. And we do so in a way strongly marked by traditional Cartesian paradigm. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

A mixed methods study design, which involved a questionnaire survey of physiotherapists practising hippotherapy (HT) in the UK and in Germany, followed by in depth semi-structured interviews and focus groups of child and adult users of hippotherapy +/- their parents, again in both countries was used. Conclusions study showed that hippotherapy has very positive effects on people with cerebral palsy. However, the positive effects correlated with the quality of the horse and the quality of the treating therapist. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

This pathology is mostly characterized by a motor disturbance during childhood, as a result of a cerebral disorder. Central Nervous System lesions are a constant challenge for rehabilitation professionals, due to diversity of these pathological disorders. Therapeutic horse riding or hippotherapy is a complement to the rehabilitation program for these patients. The integration with this animal helps patients, stimulating neuropsychomotor reorganization. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

The aim is to develop a stable community and surroundings in an educational way and to improve knowledge of possibilities for using social pedagogical horse activities of those professionals who teach at riding schools and work at stables. In our stables in Finland there are many youngsters, the majority of whom have their lives in quite good order. In addition, there are also those who have different kinds of social and educational problems. Social pedagogical thinking in horse activities creates potential opportunities to help those who already seem to have problems in their personal lives. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Subjects were evaluated one week prior to initiating an eight-week trial of biweekly, 30 min. sessions of THR using the GAITRite walkway system and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) Dimension E, at the end of the intervention (post-test I) and four weeks later (post-test 2). Statistically significant improvements (p=0.001) were identified in GMFM scores (Dimension E) between the pretest and post-test I with an increase in scores from 71% to 79%. Improvements in gross motor function remained elevated and unchanged four weeks after cessation of THR. Pretest gait velocity averaged 59.19 (SD 12.75) mlmin increasing significantly to 66.7 (SDI5.71) mlmin in post-test I, an increase of 12.7% (p=0.047). THR had beneficial effects on gait velocity and GMFM Dimension E in children with CPo Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

Some researchers are of the mistaken opinion that if they simply express their ideas, the editor will do the rest. This could not be further from the truth. The article must follow carefully the guidelines of the journal to which the article will be submitted. For researchers who publish frequently, this will mean anywhere from three to eight drafts of the complete paper, with each iteration improving upon the details of the document. The typical sections of a paper include the following areas: abstract, introduction, literature review, the purpose of the study, the research hypothesis or question, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references, and acknowledgements. This paper will conclude with some practical tips to remember when writing a paper for publication. Show less (-) | €5.00 | ||

According to the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, "more than 32,000 individuals benefit from equine facilitated activities at nearly700 NARHA (accredited) centers throughout the United States and Canada," to say nothing of the hundreds of centers or practitioners who are not members of this organization (NARHA, 2003). Service providers range across the disciplines, often including nursing, psychology,social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, communication and educational professionals, along with riding instructors, equine trainers and managers, and business staff. On a strictly business level, the number of therapy farms that operate with a budget greater than $300,000 annually has steadily grown in the last decade. While most providers are hardly that large, collectively the sheer size of the population being served makes this industry an important area of focus for administrators and providers alike.Organizations and providers of all disciplines must be ever mindful to protect the resources that make interventions with clients successful, and in the human service domains, the primary resource is the therapy provider. The threat of burn out and secondary traumatization to mental health providers is very real. Correspondingly, there has finally begun to be concern in the mental health and veterinary industries about the strain that this work places on the animals, who are considered to be partners in the treatment of human clients (Kohanov, 2004; Malone, 2004; Rector, 2003). Due to the unusual demands placed on these animals through specialized training, unpredictable client behavior, and what has been termed "sympathetic response" in animals to the emotional states of humans, there is interest in analyzing the biological responses of the animals to various factors in the therapy environment, in order to learn how to minimize the stressors placed on the animals, protect their long-tenn health, and support their role in the therapy process (Kohanov, 2004; Malone, 2004; O'Rourke, 2004).Serendipity Farm in Tuscaloosa, AL, began to collect data on animals, clients, therapists and farm staff in 2003, in order to begin to look at the variables that impact the success of the programs, and the long-term health and comfort of the animal providers. As access to a veterinarian for complex medical procedures is by consult only at this farm, simple measures that could be reliably and easily taken over a long period of time were taken on the animals. Pulse and respiration were chosen as measures of increased stress, based on knowledge of horse physiology and considering the need for a measure that all farm staff could be trained to accurately record. According to Dr. Beth Macauley, director ofBama Equine Assisted Therapy, and Dr. Marguerite Malone, director of Serendipity Farm, elevated pulse and respiration are automatic stress responses in both humans and animals. Since increased pulse rates are an indicator of increased stress in horses, this measure was used as a dependent variable in a search for the best prediction model.During this collection of data, other researchers in the field of animal assisted therapy began to investigate the connection between animal stress and variables in the environment.Data has begun to emerge to support the assertion that some types of therapy are more stressful on the animals than other types of therapy (McCabe, 2005, in press; O'Rourke, 2004). Asa response to the general call for additional information, and in further investigation of emerging evidence, analysis was undertaken of data collected at Serendipity Farm over one calendar year, to assess the impact of variables in the environment on the overall stress levels of the horses, and to determine if there are·points of intervention which may be important for farm staff and administrators to acknowledge for the long-term support of the therapy teams.
