Aquatic rehabilitation and swimming programs have been designed to treat spinal pain and dysfunction. They may be used in conjunction with land-based rehabilitation protocols or as the sole rehabilitative tool. The effectiveness of these programs requires the treating physician and therapist to have a thorough understanding of spinal anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology as well as that of its associated kinetic chain. This understanding ensures that the primary dysfunction and any associated deficits are completely identified and treated. Aquatic programs can then be customized to address these dysfunctions and deficits thus helping to more rapidly minimize pain and maximize function.

The effect of three types of water-based training protocols on thymus atrophy and specific indicators of cellular immune senescence in aged male rats.
Biogerontology

School of Health and Sport Sciences, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool, UK.
The collective detrimental impact of aged naive lymphocytes and thymus atrophy on the aging of the immune system can be mitigated by exercise. Hence, this research aims to explore the effects of three methods of water-based exercises on immune system aging and thymus atrophy in elderly rats. Thirty-two 24-month-old rats, with an average weight of 320 ± 5 g, were randomly allocated into four groups of endurance training (n = 8), resistance training (n = 8), combined training (n = 8), and control (n = 8).

Background: Aquatic training is known for its effective and gentle rehabilitation benefits, but its impact on athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) remains underexplored. This study compares the effects of water-based and land-based balance training on functional performance, dynamic balance, fear of reinjury, and quality of life in athletes with CAI.
Methods: Forty-one athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) were randomly assigned to water-based (WBBE, n = 21) or land-based (LBBE, n = 20) balance exercise groups, completing 24 sessions of 30-45 min over 8 weeks.
Comparing the effectiveness of different exercise interventions on quality of life in stroke patients: a randomized controlled network meta-analysis.

Background: This study evaluates the comprehensive impact of different exercise interventions on the quality of life in stroke patients through network meta-analysis, aiming to provide scientific evidence for developing more effective rehabilitation programs and improving patients' physical, psychological, and social functions.
Methods: This systematic review, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024541517) and following PRISMA guidelines, searched multiple databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, Cochrane, Ebsco) until November 1, 2024. Studies were selected based on the PICOS criteria, including RCTs on stroke and exercise.
Therapeutic Intervention for Trunk Control Impairments in Central Nervous System Disorders: A Comprehensive Review of Methods and Efficacy.
Prog Rehabil Med
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, Osaka, Japan.
Objectives: Trunk control involves multiple brain regions related to motor control systems. Therefore, patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders frequently exhibit impaired trunk control, decreasing their activities of daily living (ADL). Although some therapeutic interventions for trunk impairments have been effective, their general effects on CNS disorders remain unclear.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a condition that occurs more frequently in older adults. Although many types of exercise have been used in the treatment of sarcopenia, few studies have been conducted on different interventional environments for sarcopenia. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of aquatic exercise and land-based exercise on the body composition and function of participants with sarcopenia.
