ABSTRACT: A total of 67 patients, both paraplegic and quadriplegic,
had participated in a hippotherapy programme over a study period of almost
18 months, with positive effects found relative to spasticity, certain pain
syndromes, as well as contraction syndromes associated with impaired joint
mobility. Frequently the only effective measure at all, and moreover of
astonishingly lasting effect, the spasticity-reducing treatment turned out
especially beneficial. Along with these statistically supported findings,
a number of associated effects were noted in the physiotherapy and, especially,
the nursing sectors, with easier catheterization, more rhythmical bowel function,
more balanced mood with improved sleep, and a generally increased openness
and motivation. Hippotherapy has proven a valid method within a synergistic
approach for comprehensive care in paraplegia.

ABSTRACT: Physiotherapy on the back of the moved horse has two important
dimensions: 1) The somatotropic effect regards mainly spasticity, ataxia,
the vertebral column, the basis of the pelvis and the skin. 2) A general psychotherapeutic
and psychohygienic effect is created by joy, change and new impetus in rehabilitation
and by the emotional contact with the "comrade animal". Our unit was the
first to introduce hippotherapy with adults in Austria. There is specially
good experience with the spastic atactic component in multiple sclerosis.
However other diagnosis as well showed good profit, such as stroke, etc.
Some good effects in cephalaea patients indicate transition to riding as
a medical pedagogic instrument with further transitions to psychosomatic
patients. We want to proceed in this direction. Well organized hippotherapy
is cheaper than the hydrotherapy (being current almost everywhere. Therefore
opposition against the valuable hippotherapy by reasons of economics should
be ruled out. Today's medicine goes farther and farther away from natural
possibilities (slogan: "overtechnologized"). We see in hippotherapy an important
counterweight in the sense of a valuable methodology towards holistic therapy
especially in rehabilitation.
