Hippotherapy as a method of treatment within comprehensive rehabilitation system of children with disabilities.
PAŠKOVÁ, Klára
This bachelor thesis describes hippotherapy, which is one of the important treatment methods for people with disabilities. I pay particular attention to how it has affected and affects their state of health in accordance with other therapies of a comprehensive rehabilitation system. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part focuses on various definitions of disability and on individual groups of people with disabilities. It also briefly defines zootherapy and its division. A significant part is devoted to hippotherapy itself, which is crucial for this work. It describes the members of the hipporehabilitation team, the course of hippotherapy, possible indications and contraindications, among other criteria that are important for choosing a suitable horse. The last chapter focuses on coordinated rehabilitation and its individual means. In the empirical part, the legal guardians of selected children were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. The information found on the process and benefits of hippotherapy was written down into individual case studies. The collected data from the practical part confirmed the complexity and effectiveness of hippotherapy as a treatment method. This bachelor thesis can be helpful to students, but also to the general public to easier orientation and understanding of hipporehabilitation, subsequently hippotherapy.

Hippotherapy of children pacients with cerebral palsy
ČIHÁKOVÁ, Kateřina
Cerebral palsy is a lifetime neurodevelopmental disease of the brain, resulting from damage to the developing brain prenatal, perinatal or postnatal. The disease is mainly manifested by motor disabilities and its prognosis depends mainly on early diagnosis and treatment. Nowadays, an alternative method of hippotherapy is increasingly being used. Hippotherapy is a form of animotherapy that uses a specially trained horse. This therapy is very often included in comprehensive rehabilitation care not only in clients with cerebral palsy. The interest of this bachelor's thesis is to learn about these themes and learn the impact of hippotherapy of pacients with cerebral palsy.

Influence of horse breed and type of terrain on activation of the abdominal muscles in hippotherapy
Fraňková, Věra ; Lopot, František (advisor) ; Kubový, Petr (referee)
Title: Influence of horse breed and type of terrain on activation of the abdominal muscles in hippotherapy. Purposes: The aim of the study is to find out if horse breed and type of terrain approaches muscle activation in the position of unassisted sitting Methods: The study is of intraindividual character and incudes theoretical and practical part. The activation of abdominal muscles was measured by using surface electromyography and kinematic analysis. Results: There was differance between muscle activation with a different type of terrain. Horse breed does not influence a muscle activation but the individual biomechanic of each horse. Key words: hippotherapy, hipporehabilitation, horse breed, activation of abdominal muscles, unassisted seat, therapeutic horseback riding, electromyography

Intensive hippotherapy in children diagnosed with infantile paralysis and its short-term and intermediate effect
Kopecká, Tereza ; Pivec, Martin (advisor) ; Kulichová, Jana (referee)
Hippotherapy belongs to the family of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation methods. It especially benefits the rehabilitation care of complex neurological patients. This paper theoretically examines the methodology of hippotherapy. Further, this paper examines an evaluative survey of 21 subjects after intensive hippotherapy who were initially diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The immediate, short and medium term effect of the therapy was exami-ned. For the evaluation the intercondylic index, Collis symptom and position reaction tests were used. The testing is complemented with a questionnaire filled in by parents with 11 pa-rameters, which included changes in the functions of knowledge and psyche of the child. The results show that there is a statistically significant improvement in all examined parameters after immediate and weekly therapy. Thus this method can be recommended as a possible approach to the therapy of children with cerebral palsy. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
