The aim of this research was to study the effect of a horseback-riding programme on postural control in a group of autistic
children (ASD). Nine children aged 9 to 12 years participated in this study through a multiple baseline across subjects
design. The whole programme took place over nine months. Participants followed a previously developed specific horseback-riding programme, consisting of 45-minute sessions held twice a week for at least three months. To evaluate postural
control, the average velocity of the centre of pressure displacement was measured by means of a posturographic platform.
Results indicated that this intervention with horses had a positive effect on the postural control in children with ASDs. [-]
