Depending on the needs of the patient, components of a patient’s interventions may be directed to the PTA, instead of the physical therapist.…

The physical movements of equines are supplemental to people with neurological disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, and other motor dysfunctions.

Summary of Key Evidence: 1. Study design: case report 2. Sample: two children (one 8 yr, 3 mo female and one 7 yr, 11mo male), both diagnosed with…
