Hippotherapy is described as a rehabilitation method for postural control in children with cerebral palsy. Horse’s movements can be manipulated during hippotherapy’s sessions with horse walking on different surfaces and at different speeds. The purpose of this study was to assess if dynamic sitting postural control in children with cerebral palsy in hippotherapy is modified when surfaces (sand or asphalt) and horse’s walking speed (slow or faster) are changed.
