Interview with Chris Zoll - Neurological Recovery Center

Chris, could you tell us a little bit about how Neurological Recovery Center has used the Saddle to work with your patients? Sure! We sometimes just have the patient ride, if that's challenging for them. If that's not challenging enough, we have them do dynamic reaching activites outside of their base of support. We've had them catch and throw medicine balls. We've had them do different fine motor skills while they're on top of the hippotherapy simulator. We have even done ... Cattle roping. We have a lasso and a fake longhorn steer that we have them throw after. How do you feel those activities are helping with the goals you have for your clients? Well, a lot of our patients are spinal cord injury patients ... This helps them build a lot of core and postural stability.
