Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hippotherapy simulators imitate the passive movements of the horse, producing simple movements similar to those of the horse. Hippotherapy simulators are intended to improve sitting balance, postural control and trunk balance.

The aim of this study was to research the therapeutic effects of hippotherapy simulator on sitting balance, trunk control and upper extremity skills in individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Spastic CP will be participate the study between the ages of 4 and 18 years. Children's classified with GMFCS and MACS.

The eligible participants will be allocated two groups, including hippotherapy simulator training group and traditional physiotherapy control group. All the assessments will be performed before and after the training in the 8-week training groups.

The control group individuals will be given a traditional physiotherapy two days per week for a total of 8 weeks (traditional physiotherapy session will last 45 minutes). Hippotherapy simulator training group will receive a traditional physiotherapy and hippotherapy simulator training, two days a week for a total of 8 weeks (30 minutes traditional physiotherapy session+15 minutes hippotherapy simulator training). All sessions will be performed in the clinic with the specialist physiotherapist.
