Abstract
Objectives
To analyze muscle activation of lower limbs (LL) of subjects in hippotherapy sessions.
Methods
The study included 10 healthy subjects, five male and five female, with an average age of 24.03 (+4.06) years. Subjects underwent four hippotherapy sessions of 30 min with interval of one week, and each session was performed with a different type of mount material in the following order: 1st performed with saddle and feet in the stirrups (S1), 2nd with saddle and feet off the stirrups (S2), 3rd with blanket and feet off the stirrup (S3) and 4th with blanket and feet in the stirrups (S4). Surface electromyographies were performed at 1, 10, 20 and 30 min of session, and the electrodes were placed on muscle bellies bilaterally on the muscles rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and tibialis anterior.
Results
The analysis of muscle activity during these four sessions showed a significant difference in muscle recruitment in LL, and sessions with blanket and feet in the stirrups provided greater muscle activation of quadriceps and tibialis anterior with the horse at step gait (p = 0.0002).
Conclusion
The results suggest that feet positioned in the stirrups is a relevant factor for greater muscle recruitment in LL to maintain postural balance while riding, especially using a blanket as mount material for ride a horse. |
