Summary

This study aims to compare and contrast the effects of two different aquatic exercises on postural control and hand functions in people with multiple sclerosis.

Conditions

  • Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting

Interventions

OTHER

Halliwick

The exercise program was progressed by increasing the speed and the range of motion of the movements. Patients were asked not to accelerate the exercise and to focus on their alignment. Mental adjustment, sagittal rotation, transverse rotation, and combined rotation controls, balances in stillness steps of the Halliwick concept were included.

OTHER

Aquatic Plyometric Exercises

The APE programme was progressed by increasing speed and the range of motion of the movements. Patients were carefully informed not to deform the exercise just to emulate the speed. The three phases of each exercise; eccentric (or loading) phase, the amortization phase, and the concentric (or unloading) phase explained thoroughly at the beginning of every exercise.
