“…The health of people with disabilities can be improved by increased social participation, decreased obesity and increased physical activity [2]. Participation in physical activity brings benefits to all children, including those with disabilities [3][4][5], and the global daily recommendations for children aged [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] years consist of at least 60 min physical activity of moderate to vigorous-intensity [6]. Participation is defined as involvement in life situations according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) [7].…”

Asking children with CP about the physical activities they enjoy, and giving them the opportunity of trying self-selected activities with the right support is important for facilitating an increased participation in physical activities. Having fun with family and friends when being physically active, and enjoying the sensation of speed should be taken into consideration when designing interventions. When supporting children to become and remain physically active, attention should be paid to pain, fatigue and the accessibility of activities and locations. Implications for Rehabilitation Children want to be physically active together with friends or others. Children want to have fun and enjoy the sensation of speed when being physically active. Self-selected physical activities and the opportunity of trying new activities with the right support is essential for facilitating an increased participation in physical activities. Service planning and design may be facilitated by asking children about the physical activities they enjoy.

Abstract. [Purpose] This study aimed to verify the effect of hippotherapy on the sitting balance of children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) by comparing hippotherapy, physical therapy, and a control. [Subjects] In this study, 45 children with CP were randomly divided into the hippotherapy group (HTG, n = 15), physical therapy group (PTG, n = 15), and control group (CON, n = 15).[Methods] Two expert physical therapists provided the HTG and PTG with traditional physical therapy comprising strengthening and stretching exercises in 30-minute sessions, semi-weekly, for 8 weeks . Hippotherapy was provided semi-weekly only to the HTG for 8 weeks at 30 minutes per session. The CON group received no treatment. Before and after the 8 weeks of intervention, a sitting balance test was performed, and the results were analyzed.[Results] Sway pathway and velocity significantly decreased in HTG compared to PTG and CON. Left/right pathway, total pathway, left/right velocity, and total velocity were significantly reduced in PTG compared to that in the CON.[Conclusion] Hippotherapy withtraditional physical therapy improved the sitting balance ofchildren with severe CP, who could not walk independently more than traditional physical therapy alone.

“…There is, however, evidence to support the association between FSIQ and gross motor functioning level (using the GMFCS) in children with CP [9]. The study demonstrated that children classified as GMFCS I to IV had a higher intellectual level in comparison with children classified as level V [9]. Future studies may consider investigating specific domains of intellectual functioning which influence capacity outcomes for children with an ABI.…”

“…The association between higher cognitive intellectual ability and functional strength has not been demonstrated in previous studies. There is, however, evidence to support the association between FSIQ and gross motor functioning level (using the GMFCS) in children with CP [9]. The study demonstrated that children classified as GMFCS I to IV had a higher intellectual level in comparison with children classified as level V [9].…”

“…As the complexity of a motor task increases, so does the cognitive demand [8]. One previous study in children with cerebral palsy (CP) demonstrated that full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) is a significant predictor of functional classification [9]. Children with an ABI may experience difficulties with memory, attention, concentration and executive function compared to typically developing peers [10], which may negatively impact outcomes of functional capacity assessments and daily gross motor activities.…”
