The present work displays the fields of horse usage in rehabilitation and sozialization. An experiment where six children with physical and motion disorders (spina bifida and cerebral palsy) at age of 2.5 14 years took parts presented. duration of participation in the experiment of the investigated children varies from 3 months up to 2 years. After applying therapy of horse-riding, functions of body movements of children have improved, they have become more mobile. The hypothesis raised at the beginning of the research concerning responsive movements of a rider caused by a horse in a three-dimensional space was proved. The research results showed that due to horse-riding therapy functions of body movements of the investigated had improved. Data obtained during assessment and quantitative observation of funktions of body movements allows us drawing a conclusion that the higher funtions of body movements of the investigated child, the more stabile psycho-emotional state during horse-riding is. Assessment of functions of body movements and data obtained during quantitative observation allow us drawing the conclusion that the more functions of body movements are higher the faster the investigated master horse-riding skills. However, it was noticed that changes of horse-riding skills of the investigated were influenced by their age, psycho-emotional state, personal features, too. Data obtained during the experiment showed that change of horse-riding skills during horse-riding did not depend on disability character. |
