摘要: The purpose of this study was to measure the effects a seven-week therapeutic horseback riding program and determine if changes were retained after discontinued. A repeated-measures within-participants design used assess performance on Gross Motor Function Measure timed 10-meter walk in seven developmentally delayed children. statistically significant improvement gross motor function found post-intervention measures. Improvements maintained weeks had ended. No considerable difference gait speed noted. This indicates that may lead children these improvements remain once ceases.
