Introduction:
Hippotherapy allows the development of affective, sensory, motor, and cognitive areas, besides providing the practitioner with several movements and stimuli necessary for therapeutic progress. However, there is a limited amount of scientific evidence regarding the suitability of the mount material, mount type, and hippotherapy session duration, as well as regarding the activation of specific muscle groups during the practice and its applicability to activities of daily living. Objective: This study aimed to study the neuromuscular activation behavior of the iliocostalis, longissimus, multifidus, and upper trapezius muscles of children during four hippotherapy session time points using a functional task. It also compared two different mount materials for riding. Methodology: A total of 30 children were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Saddle Hippotherapy Group, Blanket Hippotherapy Group, and Control Group. Data were collected with an electromyograph in a functional task that comprised trunk movements to pick up an object. Assessments took place at four times during the session. Results: There was a significant increase in the neuromuscular activation of the iliocostalis, longissimus, and multifidus muscles after a 30-min session. The trapezius muscle showed increased neuromuscular activation after only 10 min. It continued to increase (but without a statistical difference) after and 20 and 30 min. Conclusion: Hippotherapy promoted neuromuscular activation of the trunk muscles in children, assessed through a functional task, and was influenced by both session time and mount material. Specifically, the greater neuromuscular performance occurred when an exercise was performed using saddle and stirrup and lasted 30 min. |
