“…7 However, when Ann insists on trying hydrotherapy, he acknowledges that it may offer her at least short-term benefits. 8,9 So, he agrees to her receiving it under the supervision of an experienced neurologic physiotherapist with a hydrotherapy certificate. The physiotherapist can administer the intervention in accordance with guideline recommendations 7 during ‘on’ periods when her dopaminergic medication is optimized and works well.…”

Interest has grown in centering Parkinson’s disease (PD) care provision on the welfare of the patient with PD. By putting the welfare of patients first, this patient-centric focus tends to subordinate the welfare of others including clinicians and carers. A possible solution is person-centered care. Rather than remove the spotlight from the patients, it widens that light to illuminate moral interests of all healthcare participants as persons whose welfare is interdependent. It assumes that unwellness among clinicians, for example, can impact the quality of the PD care they provide, such that caring for clinicians may also optimize the welfare of persons with PD. For PD, we suggest how the two models differ and why these differences are important to understand and act on to optimize benefit for participating stakeholders.

“…Physical exercise is helpful for patients with PD and often water‐based exercise is specifically prescribed. Hydrotherapy—also known as aquatic exercise or aquatic therapy—is used as a rehabilitation strategy for patients with PD and appears to improve symptoms . Hydrotherapy is defined as any type of endurance, strength, resistance, flexibility, aerobic exercise, or gait training conducted into a pool.…”

“…Hydrotherapy is defined as any type of endurance, strength, resistance, flexibility, aerobic exercise, or gait training conducted into a pool. In general, this therapy includes aerobic and resistance exercises (resistive movements against water with or without accessories) and stretching exercises in the cooldown phase . Water properties, such as buoyancy and viscosity, assist individuals in maintaining the orthostatic position .…”

Background: Individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) present balance and functional mobility disabilities that negatively affect the quality of life (QOL). Objective: To systematically review the effects of hydrotherapy on balance, functional mobility, QOL, and motor status in patients with PD. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Participants: A total of 484 participants were included. The mean age of participants ranged from 54 to 78 years. The average duration of PD ranged from 3 to 10 years. Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, SCOPUS, Scielo, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), and Google Scholar were searched from inception to December 2017. Randomized controlled trials (RCT), non-RCT, and pre-post studies were included. Results: A total of 19 studies were identified, including eight RCTs, three non-RCTs, and eight pre-post studies. Our meta-analysis showed a moderate quality of evidence for positive effects of hydrotherapy combined or not with land-based therapy on balance (133 patients; MD = 2.00 [95% CI, 0.56 to 3.43; I 2 0%, P = .01]) and functional mobility (133 patients; MD = −1.08 [95% CI, −1.99 to −0.18; I 2 8%, P = .02]). However, hydrotherapy combined or not with land-based therapy did not improve QOL (76 patients; MD = −6.35 [95% CI, −13.04 to 0.33; I 2 7%, P = .06]) and motor status (140 patients; MD = −1.11 [95% CI, −3.27 to 1.04; I 2 0%, P = .31). The risk of bias across the included RCTs was low. Conclusions: Hydrotherapy, combined or not with other therapies, may improve balance and functional mobility of patients with PD when compared to land-based therapy alone or usual care.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGIn der stationären neurologischen Rehabilitation in Deutschland werden vorwiegend akute neurologische Erkrankungen, aber nur selten schwere, fortschreitende neuromuskuläre Erkrankungen wie die Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose behandelt. Mittlerweile liegt jedoch in Bezug auf die Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose eine umfangreiche Evidenz für den positiven Nutzen in der Rehabilitation angewandter Methoden und den Einsatz von in der Rehabilitation tätigen Fachbereichen vor: Physiotherapie, Übungsbehandlung, Atmungstherapie, Logopädie, Ernährungstherapie, Ergotherapie, der Einsatz von Hilfsmitteln, assistive Technologien, Elektrorollstühlen und Unterstützter Kommunikation sowie multidisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und Palliative Care können das Leben der Patienten verlängern, Teilhabe und Lebensqualität verbessern und ein würdevolles Sterben ermöglichen. Essenziell sind die Integration der Angehörigen und beatmungsmedizinischer Expertise in die Behandlung. Ambulante und stationäre neurologische sollten daher fester Bestandteil der Behandlung der Amyotrophen Lateralsklerose sein.
