Hippotherapy in Children With Cerebral Palsy

The hippotherapy is a complementary therapeutic modality that seeks to promote changes in the functionality of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Knowing the domains in which this therapy causes both direct and indirect effects, and identify the mechanisms that produce their effects, contributes to broadening and deepening of the knowledge available on the hippotherapy. The main aim of this study was to evaluate changes in postural control and balance, gross motor function and quality of life (QoL) of children with CP undergoing hippotherapy for a period of six months.
