“…Vivas et al 7 there was a similar result that the TUG result value was 16.87 seconds before experiment and 15.21 seconds after experiment. Like this, it was mentioned that aquatic exercise increases stability based on lower limb strength increase of stroke patients to bring improvements in balance ability.…”

“…6 Also, aquatic exercises provide a big therapeutic advantage in decreasing muscle tension and increasing stability and functional mobility for postural control. 7 Previous study on underwater gait crease in the cycle of asymmetric gait, as well as a balanced gait pattern. 8 A study that applied additional weight onto the affected side single limb reported that by minimizing the tendency of the affected side lower limb to float on water, it increased the stability of the stance phase and resulted in increasing the lower limb strength due to applying additional weight.…”

“…Besides, one of the effects caused by the immersion in a hydro environment would be the increased dopamine levels in the CNS, which is maintained for a few hours after immersion 13 . Studies that used APT as a physical therapeutic resource to treat for PD focus on the improvement of balance, postural instability and risk of fall [14][15][16] , however, there are only a few studies in literature that measure the repercussion of this treatment in the perception of QOL of patients. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of APT in the QOL of patients with PD from mild to moderate stages using the PDQ-39.…”
