Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of therapeutic horseback riding (THR) as an interven-tion to improve the balance of 30 individuals who par-ticipated in a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH INTL) therapeutic riding member program. The study lasted 10 weeks, with each participant receiving the intervention once a week for thirty minutes. The therapeutic riding program in-cluded several standard components in each session to challenge the balance of riders with disabilities. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was used to examine the effects of THR for a single session, short-term 10-week period, and sustained effects after the program ended. The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT; Newton, 2001) was used to quantify balance during the study. Paired t -tests were conducted to exam-ine a relationship between THR and balance outcomes. Recreational therapy applications and research implica-tions are also discussed. Subscribe to TRJ

治疗性骑马对平衡的影响
本研究的目的是确定治疗性骑马(THR)作为一种干预措施的效果,以改善国际治疗性马术专业协会(PATH INTL)治疗性骑马会员计划中30名参与者的平衡。该研究持续了10周,每个参与者每周接受一次干预,持续30分钟。治疗性骑行项目在每节课中都包含了几个标准组成部分,以挑战残疾骑手的平衡。使用准实验性的一组测试前-测试后设计来检查THR在单次治疗、短期10周期间的效果以及项目结束后的持续效果。多向伸展试验(MDRT;Newton,2001)用于量化研究期间的平衡。配对t检验是为了检验THR和平衡结果之间的关系。文中还讨论了娱乐疗法的应用和研究意义。订阅TRJ
