I hadn't ever read on here anyone talking about gait changes, so I didn't know if it was common or not.
Thanks

I'm curious about the therapeutic horseback riding. I've found a couple brain rehab places that utilize it, but I wonder how safe it is to teach such a risky thing to TBI survivors?? It seems awfully likely that sooner or later they could fall off and get another TBI. Not to mention that many first TBI's are obtained in a horseback riding accident.
...oohh did I just mention that?! I did, heheh... welllll I am curious about how they minimize the risks and all. ???
