Effective use of the hippotherapy method in the complex rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy.

Abstract

The most common pathological symptom in the clinical picture of ISP is generalized or local spasticity, leading to the formation of pathological postural and motor stereotypes and secondary musculoskeletal deformities. Children with pronounced impaired motor functions are isolated from society, are not able to move freely, are limited in mobility; therefore, their living space is limited mainly by the walls of the living space. After rehabilitation at the «Rostok» center in the Trans-Baikal Territory with the use of hippotherapy in disabled children with cerebral palsy, there is a persistent remission of the disease, an improvement in statodynamic functions, which makes it possible to reduce the dosage of maintenance medication.
