Resumen
There are numerous therapeutic approaches or methods used in people who have some difficulty in their physical, mental, or social condition. Equine therapy is an experimental therapeutic method that has shown positive results in assisting patients who develop problems with traditional therapy models. The purpose of this study is to review publications involving Equus caballus, to identify the characteristics of them and select those that can be used in the construction of a background framework in the treatment of some pathologies. Results: The result database of this study collects 51 research queried in Google Academic or Google School, ResearchGate and Redalyc. Of the 51 research, 70,6% (n=36) were published in scientific journals, 19,6% in high-impact journals (Q1), 66,6% in unclassified journals; 51% in Spanish and 49% in English; 90,2% (n= 46) had results; (21,57%) are studies in the United States; 50,9% are exploratory studies and 49.1% descriptive. The most treated pathologies with equine therapy are cerebral palsy, 23,5% (n=12); autism, 13,7% (n=7) and Down syndrome 11,76% (n=6). The main objective was intervention, 78.4% with positive results. Conclusion: This database of the studies analyzed provides evidence that equine-assisted therapies and activities are an effective means of improving many physical, mental, and social health measures. However, more controlled evidence is perceived to be needed to reinforce these findings and few studies show complete scientific rigor.
