Human animal interaction, animal assisted therapy and pet ownership in neurorehabilitation

Edwards, Laura

Abstract

Human animal interactions (HAI), animal assisted therapy (AAT) and pet ownership can confer huge benefits for patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, in inpatient and outpatient settings. However, these must be weighed against potential risks and disadvantages both for the patient and for the animal. The field of HAI in neurorehabilitation has great potential for research.
