 note = {Stimulation of the body by horse back riding can be therapeutic. A device called Joba that simulates horseback riding without risk of falls has recently become widespread in Japan. We assessed the effectiveness of Joba as rehabilitation therapy of severely handicapped children and adults. 1. Physiotherapists or occupational therapists in charge of 45 patients (age: range 9-52 years, mean 19 years) using Joba were surveyed in Yokohama Ryo-iku Medical Center. 2. In the 2 subjects who clearly responded well to the therapy, pre- and post-therapy muscle activity, measured by electromyography (EMG), and gait monitored by video were analyzed. All the subjects gave their informed consent to participate in the study. Results: 1. Joba used for 5.2 min on average. The therapists' average subjective score of the effectiveness of Joba was 2.42 (maximum value 3). Their main observations were relaxation of muscles around the hips, facilitation of antigravity extension activity and increased feeling of stability around the trunk and pelvis. 2. EMG showed increased muscle activity in the trunk and lower limbs post-therapy. Also, after therapy, excessive pelvic adduction that tends to occur in the swing phase of gait was reduced and flexion of the pelvic joint that accompanies pelvic tilt was significantly improved. The mechanical horseback riding, Joba, increased muscle activity of the trunk and pelvis and around the revised hip and improved posture and gait.},
