Sponsor: Central Hospital Saint Quentin

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, resulting in an interest for research in this domain. Non pharmacological measures remain essential, specifically physical activity. Hippotherapy is a nonconventional method which uses the horse in addition to standard care. The goal being to improve or maintain the gains of the person through cognitive, sensorial and motor stimulation, with the aim of improving quality of life and maintaining independence. With this in mind, the researchers propose to evaluate quality of life as the main criterion, using the PDQ8 scale validated for this disease. The researchers hope results will lead to the coverage of the costs of non-conventional therapies such as hippotherapy by social security services.
