Effect of hippotherapy on postural balance in women with Machado Joseph Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction. Machado Joseph Disease (MJD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that manifests with progressive cerebellar dysfunctions. Intervention strategies aimed at improving functional capacity. Objective. To investigate the effects of hippotherapy on postural balance of three women (47.67±1.15 years) with MJD. Method. Stabilometric data were acquired for 15 seconds at a frequency of 100 Hz twenty hippotherapy sessions were conducted in a range of ten weeks. During this period the subjects were subjected to periodic reviews, performed immediately before and after the sessions 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20. A confirmatory test was performed thirty days following the end of the intervention period. Results. The immediate effect measured at the beginning and end of each session on five different days failed to identify significant changes in body movements in any of the subjects. The three subjects showed different responses to treatment. Conclusions. The intervention with hippotherapy was not able to make consistent changes in postural balance in women with JDM studied.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
