Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of displacement of the body while using a horse riding simulator, and to construct a theory to improve the body function through the motion of the horse riding simulator. [Subjects] The subjects were 30 healthy men and women. [Method] The displacement of the head, trunk, and pelvis while using the horse riding simulator were measured using a three-dimensional analyzer. [Result] The head movement was contradictory to the motion of the horse riding simulator. Moreover, the movement distance of the head was significantly smaller than that of the pelvis. [Conclusion] The segmental movements of the head, trunk, and pelvis were observed to maintain balance while using the hose riding simulator.
