Summary of the Systematic ReviewARTICLE CITATIONThe Translation of movement from the equine to the rider with relevance for hippotherapyDonaldson M. et al Journal of Equine Vet. Science (2019) ARTICLE DETAILSDescriptionAlthough horseback riding is a well-established means of rehabilitation therapy for a variety of human patients, there are few data on the biomechanical relationships between horse and rider during such hippotherapy. We simultaneously tracked the movements of a horse with several different novice riders, under conditions similar to hippotherapy, to evaluate whether horses pass the same motion to different riders while being lead at a walk.
