Abstract

Down Syndrome is a chromosomal alteration, where, as a rule, the chromosomes should be organized in trio of level even twenty and an occasional physical, mental and social alteration. Take riding therapy as a physiotherapeutic approach, where you choose the animal as a cinetherapeutic resource and see the improvement of the motor, stimulate physical therapy and muscle proprioception, develop synergies, rationalization and static and integration in addition to motricity, promoted by the variability of movement imposed by the horse. The purpose of this research was to list the benefits of the physical therapy approach in children with Down Syndrome through hippotherapy. The review was made from two databases (BVS and google data). 8 articles were found, 18 in the BVS and 170 in google found, 4 after applying the selected criteria 170 studies included in this research. The studies thought to have beneficial effects on muscle attachment, functional and joint capacity.
