This project aimed to create a resource to guide Accredited Immersion Therapy Specialists in prescribing evidence-based exercises for people with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. The research reviewed existing literature on water-based exercise interventions for these neurological conditions.
The findings of the literature review showed that water-based exercises were effective in improving functional outcomes like strength, mobility, and quality of life. The project then produced a guide for exercise prescription to help specialists incorporate these findings into their practice.
