A Scoping Review of Animal-Assisted Interventions for Individuals With Down Syndrome
Down syndrome (DS) is a common genetic condition, and non-pharmacological interventions are increasingly utilized to address associated developmental and health-related challenges. Among these, animal-assisted interventions (AAIs) have gained recognition for their therapeutic potential across various populations; however, a focused synthesis of their application within the DS population has been lacking. This scoping review aimed to characterize …
Hippotherapy practice and safety patterns for adult clients in the United States
Objective: Hippotherapy is a treatment strategy used by occupational therapy, speech-language, and physical therapy clinicians to influence client outcomes through the movement of a horse. While hippotherapy has been widely researched among pediatric populations with neuromuscular disorders, limited evidence exists regarding hippotherapy for adult populations. This study describes the practice patterns, safety patterns, and changes in these trend…
Asian female international scholar experiences in kinesiology: A Collaborative Autoethnography
Women faculty of color often report difficulty gaining respect and credibility as experts in their academic fields. For international women faculty of color, this experience can be compounded by dissonant cultural expectations and discrimination based on language use. This may be further complexified within the kinesiology context where there is more surveillance of the body, and public bodily performance is the norm. This collaborative autoethno…
Developing and Testing a Mobile Application for Autistic Children Participating in a Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program at a Midwestern Equine Assisted Service Center: An Exploratory Sequential Mixe…
A potential approach to translating benefits acquired from therapeutic horseback riding (THR) sessions into the daily routines of autistic children is by involving parents as co-interventionists through the utilization of digital technology. In this three-phase exploratory sequential mixed methods study, we develop and test a parent-mediated mobile application complementing a THR program for autistic children. Qualitative interviews informed the …
The Usability of the Augmented Reality Home Assessment Tool (Arhat): A Survey Study
The Augmented Reality Home Assessment Tool (ARHAT) is a mobile-based application that utilizes 3D-capture technology on iPhones to assess home environments, addressing barriers to aging-in-place. We assessed the usability of the ARHAT to facilitate its successful adoption and implementation within real-world settings. A descriptive survey design was employed wherein, three groups of participants- occupational therapists (n = 5), housing professio…
