A 4-week randomized control trial will compare the effects of once-weekly and twice-weekly hippotherapy sessions to a control group without intervention. The study will assess the viscoelastic and biomechanical properties of the TLF using the MyotonPRO device in children with spastic CP aged 4-12 years. Myotonometer parameters, including oscillation frequency, stiffness, logarithmic decrement, stress relaxation, and creep, will be analyzed before, during, and after the intervention. Functional tests, such as the 10-meter walk test (comfortable and fast walking), cadence, one-leg stance test (eyes open and closed), and functional reach test (forward and lateral), will also be monitored. QoL will be assessed using the CP QOL-Child questionnaire. The primary outcomes will include changes in myotonometer parameters, their correlation with functional tests, and differences between intervention groups. Secondary outcomes will explore whether hippotherapy impacts QoL and the relationship between QoL domains and TLF properties. Results will evaluate whether twice-weekly therapy yields statistically significant differences in the specified parameters compared once-weekly sessions and contribute to understanding hippotherapy's mechanisms, supporting more individualized therapies to improve QoL for children with CP and their families.",[28,29,30,31,32,33],"Cerebral Palsy (CP)","Rehabilitation","Motor Coordination or Function","Hippotherapy","Fascia","Quality of Life","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-08-19",{"date":37,"type":38},"2025-08-21","ACTUAL",{"date":40,"type":22},"2025-09",{"date":42,"type":22},"2026-01",{"name":44,"class":45},"University Medical Centre Ljubljana","OTHER",1,{"id":48,"slug":49,"hasResults":11,"nctId":50,"briefTitle":51,"officialTitle":52,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":53,"healthyVolunteers":54,"sex":17,"minAge":55,"maxAge":56,"enrollmentInfo":57,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":59,"briefSummary":60,"conditions":61,"keywords":65,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":71,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":72,"startDateStruct":74,"completionDateStruct":76,"leadSponsor":78,"locationsCount":46},"100551995","the-effect-of-hippotherapy-on-the-development-of-life-satisfaction-health-literacy-and-healthism-attitude-of-young-adults-after-cancer-treatment-100551995","NCT06467331","The Effect of Hippotherapy on The Development of Life Satisfaction, Health Literacy and Healthism Attitude of Young Adults After Cancer Treatment","The Effect of Hippotherapy on The Development of Life Satisfaction, Health Literacy and Healthism Attitude of Young Adults After Cancer Treatment: Randomized Controlled Experimental Research","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Between the ages of 18-30\n* He has been diagnosed with cancer and his treatment has been completely completed.\n* Least literate\n* Pregnant and non-puerperal\n* Does not have any physical or cognitive disabilities\n* No visual or auditory disabilities\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals who cannot participate in all hippotherapy activities",true,"18 Years","30 Years",{"count":58,"type":22},40,[25],"This research aims to evaluate the impact of hippotherapy on life satisfaction, health literacy, and health culture among young adults who have undergone cancer treatment. The study underscores the importance of providing support to patients post-cancer treatment. While the literature extensively supports the use of animal-assisted interventions in nursing care plans and practices, there is a notable absence of studies examining the holistic effects of hippotherapy on cancer survivors, both nationally and globally. Given that nurses play a pivotal role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation stages of all diseases, and strive to enhance patient quality of life through comprehensive care, the findings of this project are expected to not only bolster the visibility and professional efficacy of nurses but also inspire similar future research. The research tools employed will determine how complementary supportive practices influence the life satisfaction, health literacy, and health culture of young adults during critical life-shaping periods.

As illustrated by the number of survivors that remain disabled after a CVA (2 out of 3 according to the US National Stroke Association), recovery is limited, and novel neurorehabilitation approaches are urgently needed. Hippotherapy is an emerging specialized rehabilitation approach, performed by accredited health professionals on a specially trained horse via its movement. A body of scientific evidence has gradually emerged in recent years, showing robust benefits of hippotherapy in various massive neurological disabling conditions including brain stroke.\n\nThe aim of the study is to analyze the effect of a hippotherapy program of several cycles delivered during 22 weeks in total, on the functional and global evolution of post-stroke patients (with a score of Rankin ≥ 3 at inclusion) during the outpatient rehabilitation phase. A second purpose is to measure the impact of the intervention on the quality of life of their close caregivers.\n\nA prospective clinical trial on the effectiveness of hippotherapy versus conventional outpatient rehabilitation alone will be carried out. The 22-weeks program includes three cycles of hippotherapy as follows: an initial 2-weeks cycle, an intermediate 1-week cycle and a final 1-week cycle. One-hour daily sessions will be conducted during each cycle exclusive additional rehabilitation care. After each cycle, the patients will have a 9-weeks rest period where they will continue their conventional therapy. A battery of clinical tests will measure both functional and psychological outcome. The primary end point will be the functional independence of the patient. The secondary end points will consider the patient's sensorimotor and cognitive function, the severity of stroke and the quality of life, as well as the caregivers' burden and quality of life.\n\nProgram evaluation is important in neurorehabilitation to ensure that patients are achieving meaningful outcomes from the care. A primary question is how do stroke patients clinically evolve after being discharged from the hospital and how stable is the achieved rehabilitation outcome. Hippotherapy optimizes brain plasticity and has a strong impact on the global rehabilitation process and functional outcome of these patients. A remaining question concerns the improvement of the caregivers' quality of life.",[93,94,95,31,96,97,98,99,100,33,101],"Cerebrovascular Accident","Neurorehabilitation","Neuroplasticity","Silent Neurofunctional Barriers","Functional Deficit","Cognitive Deficit","Psychological Trauma","Autonomy","Caregiver Burnout",[103,104,105],"NeuroRehabilitation through hippotherapy","Brain plasticity","Functional recovery","RECRUITING","2024-07-30",{"date":109,"type":38},"2024-07-31",{"date":111,"type":38},"2022-04-27",{"date":113,"type":22},"2026-03",{"name":115,"class":45},"Alliance Equiphoria"]
