Abstract

This study applied a horseback riding exercise program to children with cerebral palsy and measured and analyzed the improvement of their balance in order to identify the effects of horseback riding exercise. For this purpose, the researcher selected a total of 9 children with cerebral palsy from S Rehabilitation School in Gyeonggi-do and children belonging to the Korean Society for the Cerebral Palsied in Seoul, and executed a three-month horseback riding exercise program composed of one-month horseback riding exercise, one-month stoppage, and another one-month horseback riding exercise. horseback riding exercise was conducted twice a week and 30 minutes at each time. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0. For each variable its mean value and standard deviation were calculated and a one-way repeated measuring analysis was carried out using the four measurements as repeated measuring factors. Statistically significant differences were verified through t-test on paired samples. According to the results of this study, the researcher drew conclusions as follows. According to the results of applying the horseback riding exercise to children with cerebral palsy and measuring their static balance, horseback riding exercise appeared to affect the improvement of their static balance. As the conclusions suggest that the horseback riding exercise program has improved the static and dynamic balance of children with cerebral palsy, horseback riding exercise is considered effective in improving the balance of children with cerebral palsy.
