Objective: To examine changes in balance and gait in patients with stroke through progressive velocity underwater gait trainingand to identify effective methods of aquatic rehabilitation. Design: Randomized controlled studyMethods: Forty-five participants diagnosed with stroke were randomly divided into three groups: progressive velocity underwatergait training (PUG) (n=15), comfortable velocity underwater gait training (CUG) (n=15), and control (n=15). The participantsreceived underwater gait training for 30 minutes, three times per week for six weeks. All participants were assessed using theMedical Research Council (MRC) scale, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, the 10 Meter WalkingTest (10MWT), and the Fugl-Myer Assessment (FMA), pre-and post-intervention. Results: Post-intervention, there were significant improvements in all parameters (p<0.05). The improvements in the parametersfor the PUG group were significantly greater than for those of the CUG and control groups (p<0.05). Moreover, the improvementsin the parameters for the CUG group were significantly different for the MRC scale, the BBS, and the TUG test compared to thosefor the control group (p<0.05), but not for the 10 MWT and the FMA (p>0.05). Conclusions: This study showsthat progressive velocity aquatic gait training is effective in improving balance and gait, andsuggests an effective strategy foraquatic rehabilitation.
