PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of hippotherapy on functional outcomes using the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) for children with physical disabilities.
METHODS
Participants included 4 children aged 5 to 9 years with physical impairments and/or documented motor delays. Individual measurable objectives were developed using the GAS for each child. Data were collected on each child every other week throughout the baseline and intervention phase over 1 year using a multiple single case experimental A-B design.
RESULTS
Three of the 4 children had a significant improvement in functional outcomes based on a standardized T-score formula from the GAS. Two of the 4 children had statistically significant results on the nonparametric binomial test following 6 months of intervention.
CONCLUSION
This study represents an initial attempt to use the GAS in a single-case design with a variety of pediatric diagnoses.
目的
本研究旨在使用目标达成量表（GAS）来衡量马术疗法对身体残疾儿童功能结局的影响。
方法
参与者包括4名年龄在5至9岁之间、有身体损伤和/或有记录的运动发育迟缓的儿童。使用GAS为每个儿童制定了可测量的个体目标。在1年的基线期和干预期内，每隔一周收集每个儿童的数据，采用多单病例实验A-B设计。
结果
根据GAS的标准化T分数公式，4名儿童中有3名在功能结局方面有显著改善。在干预6个月后，4名儿童中有2名在非参数二项式检验中取得了具有统计学意义的结果。
结论
本研究是在单一病例设计中对多种儿科诊断使用GAS的初步尝试。
