CRD SUMMARY: This poorly reported review concluded there was some evidence that hippotherapy improved muscle symmetry in the trunk and hip, but therapeutic horseback riding was no more effective than other therapies for improving muscle tone in children with cerebral palsy. Given the potential for error or bias during the review process, these cautious conclusions may not be reliable
