Article
About PATH Intl. PAC Highlights New Research
|
|
Windridge Equestrian
Therapeutic Center of East Texas, a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center
in Longview, TX, was recently featured in an article in news-journal.com.
The article, "Research Could Validate
Horse Therapy Benefits at East Texas Center," by Glenn Evans,
reports on the Orbis Biomechanical System Integration Suite, which uses
motion-capture sensors on the horse and rider to produce a digital image
of what's going on with both. This research is meant to quantify the
improvements in a rider over a period of time, giving EAAT hard data for
its claims of the benefits of therapeutic horsemanship and hippotherapy.
