Electromyographic activity of equine abdominal muscles during single and double riding in hippotherapy.

This study examined electromyographic (EMG) activity in the abdominal muscles of horses during hippotherapy sessions conducted with one versus two riders simultaneously. Researchers compared muscle activation patterns to better understand how rider load affects the equine participant in hippotherapy. Findings from this type of research can inform equine welfare considerations and help optimize hippotherapy protocols for clinical practice.
