Picture: In a recent study, researchers at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) confirmed that horse riding is a viable activity therapy for cerebral palsy
.
Studies have shown that the functional activities of children with cerebral palsy can be improved through physical interaction with horses
Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST)
Cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) is a common disability in children, characterized by abnormal gait and the inability to maintain posture and balance
.
Although this condition is incurable, physical therapy can play a big role in improving exercise and balance
Recently, a group of researchers from South Korea and the United States solved this problem by investigating the physical interaction indicators of horses and CP children during HPOT
.
"My initial research interest was the rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders, especially gait and balance
The research team performed 8 physical therapies on 4 children with CP
.
They place sensors on horses and children to record their movements and track their acceleration and angular velocity
Dr.
Hur said: "We found that the physical interaction between a child with CP and the horse is very important for effective rehabilitation.
This interaction is characterized by the child's adaptation to the horse's movement and vice versa
.
"
The research team is excited about these findings and hope their work will provide a basis for further research on HPOT
.
"As far as I know, our study is the first to quantify these interactions and link them to effectiveness," said Dr.
