AB  - [Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of horseback riding 
      simulator exercise on postural balance of chronic stroke patients. [Subjects] A 
      total of 67 stroke patients were assigned either to a horseback riding simulator 
      exercise group (HEG, n=34) or a mat exercise group (MEG, n=33). [Methods] The 
      subjects exercised three times per week for 8 weeks. Static balance ability was 
      determined by eyes open balance (EOB) and eyes closed balance (ECB), which was 
      measured using a Kinesthetic Ability Trainer Balance system. Dynamic balance was 
      evaluated using the Berg balance scale (BBS). [Results] EOB and ECB significantly 
      decreased and BBS had significantly increased after the intervention in the HEG 
      and the MEG, and ECB decreased and BBS increased significantly more in the HEG 
      than in the MEG. [Conclusion] Horseback riding simulator exercise is more 
      effective than mat exercise for improving the ECB and BBS of stroke patients.
