Resumen
[ES]Objetivo: Identificar, evaluar de forma crítica y reunir las principales evidencias disponibles en la actualidad sobre la efectividad de la hipoterapia en el abordaje terapéutico de pacientes con parálisis cerebral infantil.
Método: Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos SCOPUS, Pubmed y PEDro.
Resultados: Tras la búsqueda inicial, se consideraron de interés 308 artículos de los cuales se escogieron 7 para realizar un estudio detallado.
Conclusiones: Esta revisión sistemática encontró evidencia moderada sobre la efectividad de la hipoterapia y/o simulador de equitación de manera aislada. También se halló evidencia limitada en el efecto de la hipoterapia combinada con la fisioterapia convencional y en el uso de la hipoterapia frente a la fisioterapia convencional en pacientes con parálisis cerebral infantil. Se necesitan más estudios de alta calidad metodológica y con mayor tamaño muestral .
[EN]Aim: Identify, assess critically and gather main evidences currently available on the effectiveness of hippotherapy in the treatment of patients with cerebral palsy. Method: A literature review was performed in the databases SCOPUS, Pubmed and PEDro. Results: After the first search in databases, 308 articles were considered, then, considering the criteria of inclusion and exclusion, 7 was chosen to a deep analysis. Conclusions: This systematic review found moderate evidence on the effectiveness of using of hippotherapy and/or horse riding simulation. Also limited evidence on the effect of hippotherapy with physiotherapy and the use of hippotherapy or horse riding simulation in contrast to physiotherapy in cerebral palsy patients was discovered. Further number of studies with a high methodological quality and a larger population sample are needed.
