초록

본 연구의 목적은 승마 운동이 뇌성마비 아동의 평형성 및 척추자세에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이었다. 연구의 대상자는 인지적 결함이 없고 독립보행이 가능한 뇌성마비 아동 중 장애인승마 수업에 참여하는 8∼10세 남자 4명, 여자 6명으로 총 10명이었다. 12주 동안 매주 2회, 매회 30분씩 승마운동을 실시하였고, 승마운동은 기초 승마기술 훈련과 기승운동인 평보 및 속보, 게임 활동 등을 포함하였다. 운동 전후 평형성은 균형 측정기기(Tetrax)를 이용하여 좌/우 발의 체중분포 및 안정성을 측정하였고, 척추자세는 3차원 척추영상 진단 시스템 (FormetricⅢ)을 이용하여 몸통기울기, 골반기울기, 골반회전도를 측정하였다. 자료분석은 사전-사후 검사에서 나타난 자료의 차이를 알아보고자 대응표본 t-test를 실시하였으며, 유의수준은 .05로 검증하였다. 장애인승마 운동 전후 측정치를 분석한 결과 장애인승마 운동은 뇌성마비 아동의 평형성 능력을 향상시키고, 척추자세를 바르게 정립하는데 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

영어초록

The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of horse riding on children with cerebral palsy, and more specifically on their balance and backbone postures. The study sample consisted of 10 persons; 4 males and 6 females whose age ranged from 8 to 10 years. They were specifically selected among children with cerebral palsy that had been regularly attending horse riding school for the handicapped; they all had no cognition defects and possessed the ability to stand and walk independently. The study proceeded through conducting a 30-minute horse riding sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. Horse riding sessions included basic skill training, advanced skill training such as walking gaits and trots, and recreational activities. To accurately measure the children’s balance before and after the horse riding sessions, Tetrax, which is designed to measure the weight distribution of both feet, as well as stability, was used. To determine the effects on backbone postures, Farmetric III was used to measure trunk inclination, pelvic inclination, and pelvic rotation. For data analyses, a series of t-test was performed to further investigate and determine the differences between the measurements taken before and after the horse riding sessions. The critical value for the data analyses was set up at .05. Results showed that the horse riding sessions did have positive impact on improving balance, as well as straightening backbone postures for children with cerebral palsy.
