About the Motion
What makes MiraColt’s motion different?
MiraColt was designed specifically to reproduce the complex motion experienced when riding a walking horse. The seat combines movement along three axes with rotation around those axes—three-dimensional movement with six degrees of freedom.
These rhythmic patterns closely mirror the natural movement of the human pelvis during walking. Therapists and activity leaders combine that moving base with purposeful tasks suited to the person and their goals.
Where is MiraColt used?
MiraColt brings riding motion into equine programs, physical and occupational therapy clinics, homes and senior care settings. Match the activities and support to the participant, setting and individual plan.
Where can I review the research?
Our Research page brings together clinical studies, preliminary findings and engineering references. Each report provides context about its participants, methods and findings. Use the original reports to understand how a result relates to your population and goals.
Using MiraColt
What is the rider weight limit?
MiraColt is rated for riders weighing up to 275 lb. Review the owner’s manual and discuss the person’s positioning and support needs with our team.
At what speeds can MiraColt be ridden?
MiraColt has variable speed capability up to approximately 48 cycles per minute, corresponding to a brisk equine walking gait. Typical natural riding speeds are 36–45 cycles per minute. Choose speed to suit the rider, activity and professional guidance.
How long and how often should someone ride?
Session duration and frequency depend on the person, therapeutic goals and the recommended plan. Reported protocols have ranged from 7–45 minutes per session, one or two sessions per day and one to five days per week.
For therapy use, have the treating professional select the duration, frequency, positioning, speed and assistance for the individual. Discuss a home-use plan with the person’s care team and follow the operating instructions.
What safety precautions should we take?
Place MiraColt on a flat, stable surface, with the wheels pointed outward and locked. Position the rider centrally and securely on the seat. Therapeutic use calls for supervision by a trained caregiver or medical professional.
Plan mounting, transfers, positioning and assistance around the person. Follow the owner’s manual and the treating professional’s recommendations.
What activities or exercises can we use?
Therapists and trainers adapt speed, riding posture and activities during and after a session to the person’s goals. Examples include reaching, weight shifts, cross-body tasks and coordinated two-handed activities. A trained professional should select and support any alternative riding positions.
Explore PT & OT activities, equine-program activities and senior care activities, or ask our team about orientation and appropriate protocols.
