![]() ![]() ![]() A typical therapy session with the MiraColt™ is 15-25 minutes (which represents 1500 – 2500 neuromotor inputs to the user). This repetitive, multidimensional yet rhythmic motion, by eliciting responsive or corrective cognitive, postural and muscular reactions from the rider results in improvements in balance, coordination, and posture, while the rhythmic, equilibrating nature of the movement provides calming and soothing sensory input. The mechanism involves using the walking gait movement of the horse to stimulate the rider’s nervous system and provide a unique sensory experience. Horseback riding therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy or hippotherapy, has been shown to have many benefits for people with neurological (neuromotor, developmental or physical) movement disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Autism, and similar conditions. It uniquely, accurately reproduces the smooth, rhythmic, and repetitive multidimensional walking gait motion pattern of a horse for the benefit of its rider. Inspired by the benefits of horseback riding in hippotherapy, the MiraColt™ is specialized, medical-grade motion simulator device designed to simulate the movements of horseback riding in a controlled and safe environment. ![]() The MiraColt™ Horse-Riding Motion Simulator ![]()
