Abstract:V diplomskem delu raziskujemo vpliv terapije s pomočjo živali na otroke s cerebralno paralizo (CP) in motnjo avtističnega spektra (MAS). S sistematičnim pregledom literature smo potrdili morebitne koristi različnih oblik tovrstnih terapij pri izboljšanju motoričnih, psihičnih, fizičnih in senzoričnih sposobnosti otrok. Predstavili smo vlogo fizioterapevta pri načrtovanju in izvajanju terapij, s posebnim poudarkom na prilagajanju posameznim potrebam otrok s CP in MAS. Metode: V diplomskem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno raziskovalno metodo s sistematičnim pregledom znanstvene in strokovne literature. V pregled smo vključili raziskave, ki analizirajo učinke treh oblik terapije s pomočjo živali, in sicer hipoterapije, terapije s pomočjo psov in terapije s pomočjo delfinov pri rehabilitaciji otrok s CP in MAS. Uporabili smo šest opravljenih raziskav, ki smo jih izbrali s pomočjo diagrama PRISMA. Literaturo smo analizirali z uporabo metode kompliance in komparativne metode za primerjavo rezultatov raziskav. Rezultati: Analiza literature je pokazala, da terapije s pomočjo živali pozitivno vplivajo na motorične sposobnosti, senzorno integracijo, psihično stabilnost in socialno vključenost otrok s CP in MAS, ter potrdila naša raziskovalna vprašanja. Iz literature je razvidno, da je vloga fizioterapevta ključna za ustrezno načrtovanje, prilagajanje in izvajanje terapevtskega procesa. Zaključek: V diplomskem delu smo s pomočjo pregleda literature ugotovili, da terapije s pomočjo živali predstavljajo učinkovito dopolnilo konvencionalnim metodam terapije. Zaradi omejenega števila študij, zlasti pri terapiji otrok z MAS, je priporočljivo nadaljnje raziskovanje, da bi natančneje opredelili učinke terapij in optimizirali fizioterapevtske pristope.

Abstract:The thesis explores the impact of animal – assisted therapies on children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of the thesis is to present and, through a systematic review of professional literature, confirm the potential benefits of using different types of animal – assisted therapies in improving the motor, psychological, physical, and sensory abilities of children. The role of the physiotherapist in planning and conducting these therapies is also presented, with particular emphasis on adapting approaches to the individual needs of children with CP and ASD. Methods: In this thesis, a descriptive research method was used, along with a systematic review of scientific and professional literature. The review included studies that analyze the effects of three main forms of animal – assisted therapy – hippotherapy, dog – assisted therapy, and dolphin – assisted therapy on the rehabilitation of children with CP and ASD. Six previously published studies were selected for analysis using the PRISMA diagram. The literature was analyzed using the compliance method and the comparative method to compare the results of different studies. Results: The literature analysis showed that animal – assisted therapies have a positive effect on motor abilities, sensory integration, psychological stability, and the social inclusion of children with CP and ASD and also confirmed our research questions. The literature further shows that the role of the physiotherapist is crucial for the appropriate planning, adaptation, and implementation of the therapeutic process. Conclusion: The results of this thesis, based on a literature review, suggest that animal-assisted therapies represent a highly effective complement to conventional therapeutic methods. Due to the limited number of studies, especially in the field of therapy for children with ASD, further research is recommended to more precisely define the effects of different types of therapies and to optimize physiotherapeutic approaches.
