ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the effects of hippotherapy on the gross motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Material and methods: A quasi-experimental study with pre and post-intervention analysis. We included 14 subjects from 1 to 14 years of age (10, male and 4 female), the children attending the equine therapy center were assigned to the experimental group (n: 7) and children from the neurological center of Huila were assigned to the control group with usual rehabilitation therapy (n: 7). The assignment was for convenience due to socioeconomic difficulties of the parents. Children and their parents were blinded. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM 88) was used as a outcome measure. Results: Statistical significance was found between before and after the hippotherapy for the overall score (p ≤ 0.018) after 10 weeks; however, there was no difference with respect to the control group. Conclusions: Hippotherapy has shown to have some improvement in the gross motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy. More studies are needed to confirm findings.
