“…This study reported that positive clinical responses were correlated with increases in complexity of heart rate dynamics measured with approximate and sample entropy 56 . Another small study in children affected by a spectrum of neurological disorders reported that short-term exposure to hippotherapy (therapeutic horse riding) led to greater post-treatment sample entropy of HRV 57 . A third non-controlled study evaluating a meditation technique reported higher sample entropy in heart beat dynamics following an individual meditation session 58 .…”

Measures characterizing the complexity of heart rate (HR) dynamics have been informative in predicting age- and disease-related decline in cardiovascular health, but few studies have evaluated whether mind-body exercise can impact HR complexity. This study evaluated the effects of long-term Tai Chi (TC) practice on the complexity of HR dynamics using an observational comparison of TC experts and age- and gender-matched TC-naïve individuals. Shorter-term effects of TC were assessed by randomly assigning TC-naïve participants to either TC group to receive six months of TC training or to a waitlist control group. 23 TC experts (age = 63.3 ± 8.0 y; 24.6 ± 12.0 y TC experience) and 52 TC-naïve (age = 64.3 ± 7.7 y) were enrolled. In cross-sectional analyses, TC experts had a higher overall complexity index (CI, p = 0.004) and higher entropy at multiple individual time scales (p < 0.05); these findings persisted in models accounting for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity levels. Longitudinal changes in complexity index did not differ significantly following random assignment to six months of TC vs. a waitlist control; however, within the TC group, complexity at select time scales showed statistically non-significant trends toward increases. Our study supports that longer-term TC mind-body training may be associated with increased complexity of HR dynamics.

“…A equoterapia faz com o que portador de necessidades especiais menos dependente, pois, traz benefícios para a mente e para o corpo, melhora o equilíbrio dinâmico e estático e aprimora a coordenação motora (CABIDDU et al, 2016). Um aspecto muito importante é de que o tratamento com os pacientes neurológicos, a maio parte de sua reabilitação depende de sua própria motivação em relação à proposta terapêutica que lhe será ofertada (GIAGAZOGLOU et al, 2012).…”

A equoterapia é um método de tratamento que utiliza o cavalo dentro de uma abordagem interdisciplinar, nas áreas de saúde, educação e equitação, buscando o desenvolvimento biopsicossocial de pessoas com deficiência e/ou com necessidades especiais, o objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar o perfil dos alunos atendido pelo centro de equoterapia visando proporcionar uma quantificação dos atendimentos aos pacientes, a fim de direcionar os estudos de forma a abranger todas as enfermidades encontradas e também para conhecer mais sobre a equoterapia e suas técnicas. Esta pesquisa se caracteriza em um estudo observacional, descritivo e retrospectivo. Participaram 20 alunos, 9 do sexo masculino e 11 do sexo feminino. Os resultados evidenciaram que o público mais atendido por essa terapia, foram crianças portadoras da paralisa cerebral que na sua maioria necessitam de um tratamento interdisciplinar devido seu distúrbio motor evidente. Conclui-se que a equoterapia é um método terapêutico em evolução e pouco explorado, porém o conhecimento dessas variáveis visa auxiliar uma abordagem diferenciada diante das diversas situações encontradas, sendo necessária uma abordagem interdisciplinar.

“…Only sample entropy was able to reduce from supine to orthostatic change (Po0.05), demonstrating reduction of HR complexity in that position. Sample entropy is an index able to capture the amount of information contained in a biological signal and characterize a phenomenon complexity and to measure the irregularity of a time series (24,25). This variable, compared to the other nonlinear ones, seems to be more sensitive to postural changes in COPD-HF patients, demonstrating that there is a reduction post-APM in sample entropy, suggesting an increase in sympathetic modulation (24).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-heart failure (HF) coexistence on linear and nonlinear dynamics of heart rate variability (HRV). Forty-one patients (14 with COPD-HF and 27 HF) were enrolled and underwent pulmonary function and echocardiography evaluation to confirm the clinical diagnosis. Heart rate (HR) and R-R intervals (iRR) were collected during active postural maneuver (APM) [supine (10 min) to orthostasis (10 min)], respiratory sinus arrhythmia maneuver (RSA-M) (4 min), and analysis of frequency domain, time domain, and nonlinear HRV. We found expected autonomic response during orthostatic changes with reduction of mean iRR, root mean square of successive differences between heart beats (RMSSD), RR tri index, and high-frequency [HF (nu)] and an increased mean HR, low-frequency [LF (nu)], and LF/HF (nu) compared with supine only in HF patients (Po0.05). Patients with COPD-HF coexistence did not respond to postural change. In addition, in the orthostatic position, higher HF nu and lower LF nu and LF/HF (nu) were observed in COPD-HF compared with HF patients. HF patients showed an opposite response during RSA-M, with increased sympathetic modulation (LF nu) and reduced parasympathetic modulation (HF nu) (Po0.05) compared with COPD-HF patients. COPD-HF directly influenced cardiac autonomic modulation during active postural change and controlled breathing, demonstrating an autonomic imbalance during sympathetic and parasympathetic maneuvers compared with isolated HF.
