The purpose of this study was to investigate the balance abilities of the adolescent girl with brain lesions by Sit-to-Stand (STS) action analysis before and after the rehabilitative horse riding of 16 week program. The subject aged 16 yr old who had the disabilities of spasticity and hemiplegia was recruited with the consent approval. The equilibrium abilities of the subject were tested by Sit-to-Stand examination with Weight Transfer Time (WTT), Mean Rising Index (MRI), Mean Weight Asymmetry (MWA), Max Trunk Flexion Velocity (MTFV), and Max Trunk Extension Velocity (MTEV). Research was designed by AB single subject study with baseline of 3 times of measurement and rehabilitative horse riding treatments. In the results, the enhancement of the subject's equilibrium ability was shown from the comparisons between baseline and treatment by the STS test that WTT was 2.37 sec faster, MRI was 6.64 N/kg higher, and MWA was 8.12% lower, and MTFV was 0.57°/sec larger than all those means of baseline. It suggested that the subject showed her enhanced balance ability while in sitting and standing after the rehabilitative horse riding treatments.
本研究的目的是通过对16周康复骑马项目前后的坐立（STS）动作分析，调查患有脑部病变的青春期女孩的平衡能力。招募了一名16岁、患有痉挛和偏瘫残疾的受试者，并获得了其同意。通过坐立测试，利用体重转移时间（WTT）、平均起身指数（MRI）、平均体重不对称性（MWA）、最大躯干屈曲速度（MTFV）和最大躯干伸展速度（MTEV）对受试者的平衡能力进行测试。研究采用AB单受试者研究设计，包括3次测量的基线和康复骑马治疗。结果显示，通过STS测试比较基线和治疗情况，受试者的平衡能力有所增强，WTT快了2.37秒，MRI高了6.64 N/kg，MWA低了8.12%，MTFV比基线平均值大0.57°/秒。这表明在康复骑马治疗后，受试者在坐立状态下表现出了增强的平衡能力。
