Description
Lehan Chu, Jiahui Zou, Shan Liu, and Jie Hao wrote a 2026 appraisal of a trial on horse-based therapy and balance in older men. The trial found that riding-based exercises improved several balance measures. Chu and co-authors praise the idea but question parts of the report.
They show that one reported test value does not match its claimed significance level under the likely test design. That gap casts doubt on other numbers in the paper. They also probe the model shown in a key table. Their letter helps readers weigh how far the trial's claims can be trusted and what the authors should clarify.
