Abstract

|
|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Horse Riding Simulator(HRS) on the balance of children with cerebral palsy after neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES).
Methods : Twenty children with cerebral palsy were divided into 10 experiment group received of the combination of horse riding simulator(HRS) after neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES); and 10 control group received of combination of horse riding simulator(HRS) after no current neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES).
Results : Results on the changes of Pediatric Balance Scale(PBS), Limits of Stability(LOS), Pediatric Reach Test(PRT) in both groups showed a significant increase before and after intervention mean values after 4 weeks(p<.05). The differences in PBS, LOS, PRT between groups, PRT of experiment groups were significantly higher than control group group (p<.05). There was significant difference in between the groups of PRT(p<.05).
Conclusion : In this study, we found that Horse Riding Simulator(HRS) on the balance of children with cerebral palsy after NMES.
