Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improves the muscular activity of the trunk and lower limbs in healthy young limbs treated after by hippotherapy. ;The muscular activity of the trunk and lower limbs will be similar between independent human gait and riding on horse riding. Muscle activity will be checked using the surface electromyography device. A quantitative statistical analysis of 5% probability will be adopted in the pre and post-care specifications in hippotherapy.
