Hippotherapy Versus Balance Therapy on Funvtional Mobility in Down Syndrome

A hippotherapy simulator is a horse riding simulator exercise machine, mimicking a horse's gait and recreating the horseback riding experience within the safety of a therapy clinic. Child with down syndrome will be seated on the stimulator for 10-15 minutes every session. The patient's pelvis moves softly, rhythmically, and repetitively when riding this action is comparable to what the human pelvis does when walking normally

The therapist modified the railing height to suit each child, ensuring the children were standing erect on the treadmill. Treadmill training completed under three conditions in 1-min training cycles. For 15 s of each minute the child could hold on to the railings with both hands, for the next 15 s with one hand, and finally with no hands on the handrails for 30 s. Each child repeated this procedure 20 Times and cool down for 5 minutes
