The MiraColt™ – Therapy and Rehabilitation in Motion.
The MiraColt™ recreates the complex, multidirectional movement of a horse’s walking gait, closely mirroring the natural movement of the human pelvis during walking. This unique biomechanical connection provides consistent, rhythmic motion that engages the pelvis and trunk, creating opportunities to improve balance, postural control, core stability, coordination, and gait-related functional ability.
Designed for children and adults across a wide range of abilities, MiraColt brings innovative movement-based therapy and exercise to rehabilitation clinics, senior care facilities, homes and equine-assisted programs.
How the MiraColt™ works
The MiraColt™ combines three translations and three rotations into one continuous movement pattern. This changing base of support engages the lumbar-pelvic region for core control, posture, balance and gait-related training—the foundations of everyday mobility.
A fixed origin and perspective coordinate frame show three directions of travel and three rotations. Blue marks the vertical axis: up-and-down travel is heave, and turning left and right around it is yaw. Green marks the side-to-side axis: side-to-side travel is sway, and tipping forward and backward around it is pitch. Red marks the forward-to-back axis: forward-and-back travel is surge, and tilting side to side around it is roll. Moving markers travel back and forth on the straight arrows and sweep back and forth on the curved rotation arrows. Colors identify axes within this illustration; the comparison chart has its own legend.

The Science: Measured Outcomes Backed by Clinical Research
Improved Fall-Risk Scores in Seniors
In a six-week Baylor University study at The Delaney, older adults added just 10 minutes on the MiraColt™ twice weekly to their usual activities. Four of nine treatment participants who began at or above the Timed Up and Go fall-risk threshold finished below it; a measurable improvement in a key mobility assessment.

Just three consecutive 20-minute sessions on the MiraColt™ were followed by statistically significant improvements in two static-balance assessments for participants with Parkinson’s disease. The Southwestern University conference findings report better performance on the Sharpened Romberg and Single-Leg Stance tests; concrete measures of steadiness while standing.

An East Carolina University occupational therapy pilot compared engagement during therapeutic activities on the MiraColt™ and a live horse. Six children with autism participated in both conditions, with no statistically significant difference in engagement scores. The authors suggest the simulator may provide an option for engaging children when horse riding is not feasible.

Complementing Therapy & Expanding Reach with the MiraColt™
At ROCK in Georgetown, Texas, MiraColt complements therapy services and therapeutic riding. In this video, physical therapist and founder Nancy Krenek describes how the team incorporates its controlled walking-gait motion into their work, including activities for children who may be unable to ride a live horse.
Hear her perspective on expanding movement options in clinics and therapy centers.

“[Our study, 12 participant who rode the MiraColt twice a week for six weeks] saw improved gait and balance in Parkinson’s patients …. improved standing ability, less cognitive impairment, improved balance, better sleep, increased mobility, improved emotional state and increased social interaction.”
“We have one person that completed the study, and comes back regularly just to use the device to exercise.” [Update on on-going study at the University of Kansas Medical Center – Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Center]
“When they [Control group participants in the Delaney Senior Living Community Proof of Concept Study] realized that they were not getting to ride , they were very disappointed. It became impossible to encourage them to continue with the study. ”
“It is great that the MiraColt provides Passive-Active exercise. The person riding can get meaningful fun exercise without exerting or exhausting themselves.”
“I think the movement of the horse is one of the amazing profound ways to wake up neurological systems in people. My dream would be that [the MiraColt™] becomes an adaptive piece of equipment in all clinics and therapy centers.”
“The Miracolt gives people with disability a safe and ‘true to life’ alternative. It has all the benefits of equine therapy but in a safe and controlled environment.”
“We have tried every equipment, mechanical device out there, you name it. This machine, the motion it provides, has done more for my husband’s brain than anything else we’ve tried. As a nurse, I see him improving every day.”
“We recently used the MiraColt in combination with speech therapy for adults with brain injury, and were very pleased with the outcomes of the project. This is a very promising direction for potentially enhancing the effects of language treatment.”
