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.

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.
