Resumo
Introdução: A Síndrome de Down (SD) é a mais comum anormalidade cromossômica, uma condição genética causada pela trissomia do cromossomo 21. A equoterapia tem sido bastante utilizada, mostrando grande potencial em melhorar as deficiências e atrasos motores associados à SD, ela é um método terapêutico que utiliza o cavalo como precursor da cinesioterapia, pois por meio dos movimentos tridimensionais e multidirecionais da marcha do animal que é similar com a marcha humana, pode trazer diversos benefícios para pacientes que apresentam alterações motoras e neurofisiológicas. Objetivo: Analisar os benefícios da equoterapia na função motora de membros inferiores de indivíduos com SD. Métodos: Realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados da PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Os termos utilizados foram: (“Down Syndrome”[Mesh]) E (“Equine-Assisted Therapy”[Mesh]), selecionando artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos que tenham estudado desfecho para membros inferiores.Resultados: Foram selecionados quatro estudos que apresentaram os seguintes desfechos: potencial benefício para resultados positivos nos parâmetros espaço temporais da marcha (comprimento do passo), na ativação de alguns grupos musculares de membros inferiores e na coordenação motora.Conclusão: Foi possível observar a partir da análise dos quatro estudos incluídos nessa revisão que a equoterapia pode ser um tratamento coadjuvante a outras terapias na reabilitação de membros inferiores dos indivíduos com SD. No entanto, há necessidade de mais estudos para que esses resultados sejam representativos e significativos para toda a população estudada.
Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality, a genetic condition caused by trisomy 21. Hippotherapy has been widely used, showing great potential in improving the motor disabilities and delays associated with DS, it is a therapeutic method that uses the horse as a precursor of kinesiotherapy, because through the three-dimensional and multidirectional movements of the animal's gait that is similar to human gait, can bring several benefits to patients who have motor and neurophysiological changes. Objective: To analyze the benefits of hippotherapy on the motor function of lower limbs of individuals with DS. Methods: A search was performed in the PubMed, LILACS and SciELO databases. The terms used were: ("Down Syndrome"[Mesh]) AND ("Equine-Assisted Therapy"[Mesh]), selecting articles published in the last five years that have studied outcome for lower limbs. Results: Four studies were selected that presented the following outcomes: potential benefit for positive results in the temporal spatial parameters of gait (step length), in the activation of some muscle groups of the lower limbs and in motor coordination. Conclusion: It was possible to observe from the analysis of the four studies included in this review that hippotherapy can be an adjunct treatment to other therapies in the rehabilitation of lower limbs of individuals with DS. However, there is a need for further studies so that these results are representative and significant for the entire population studied.
