Abstract

The benefits of exercising in persons with Parkinson’s disease have been widely reported. However, little is known about the effects of aquatic exercise in this population. The purpose of this study was to determine whether women with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease can take part and benefit from a physical exercise training program carried out in water.Twelve women with Parkinson’s disease who were able to walk and no demented volunteered for this study. Mean age was 71.3±6.73 years. Patients had mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease (Hoehm and Yahr, stage range: 1-3).The aquatic training program consisted of sessions of 50 minute each, 2 sessions per week for ten weeks (a total of 20 sessions), and included static and dynamic exercises performed against the water resistance. Significant improvements were observed on the functional mobility and on patients’ motor impairment. The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (part III), total score was reduced from 14.1 to 10.7 (p=0.049). Functional mobility total score decreased from 16.9 to 13.3 seconds (p=.007). The results of this study imply that water based exercise training programs seem to be a feasible therapy for women living with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease which could improve their motor performance.
