Improving Fine Motor Skills after Two Months of Hippotherapy in a Child with DMO

Titles: Improvement of fine motor skills after two months of hippotherapy in a child with cerebral palsy Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess the effect of two months of hippotherapy on fine motor skills of a child with cerebral palsy. Methods: For the research, I chose one proband, a girl 8.5 years old. A set of MABC-2 battery tests was used to collect empirical measurements. Results: After two months of hippotherapy, it was possible to increase fine motor skills in a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Testing with MABC-2 batteries requires that not only fine motor skills be improved, but also gross motor skills and the child's balance.
