Aquatic Therapy in Contemporary Neurorehabilitation: An Update
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32536028/
Abstract
Aquatic therapy has been used extensively in a number of neurologic diseases and pathologies. This review will describe disease-specific rehabilitative applications for this population. Recent research has offered scientific support for use in common neurological diseases that are part of rehabilitative practice, and very recent findings may create even firmer support for its use in these as well as other conditions. Stroke, Parkinsonism, and multiple sclerosis are areas that have recently received a significant number of published studies. Dementia is another area that has been more recently studied and received basic science support. Cerebral palsy has also had recent supportive evidence published. Available literature is reviewed to create a more evidence-based support for the use of aquatic therapy in neurorehabilitation. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
