Abstract

This article highlights the topic of an integrated approach to the correction of
cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) using unique methods of psychomotor
rehabilitation, such as hippotherapy and therapeutic swimming. The authors consider the
effectiveness of these methods in the context of improving cognitive functions, increasing the
overall level of activity and socialization of children with cerebral palsy. Hippotherapy, also
known as therapeutic equine riding, is used to stimulate neuromotor development, improve
balance, coordination and sensory integration. The article highlights how the rhythmic
movements of a horse promote the activation of various muscle groups and brain centers
responsible for cognitive processes. Therapeutic swimming, in turn, is another important method
that provides a complex effect on the body. Swimming promotes fine motor skills, improves
motor coordination, and promotes cognitive development through play and visual-motor
integration. The authors analyze the results of studies and clinical observations, demonstrating
how regular use of hippotherapy and therapeutic swimming can have a positive effect on
cognitive development, increase adaptive abilities and the quality of life of children with cerebral
palsy. Particular attention is paid to the psychological aspect of rehabilitation, including
strengthening self-esteem and social adaptation.
