Aquatic therapy, or water therapy, is under-researched for pediatric neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions. Existing literature primarily consists of case reports, highlighting a need for more robust studies.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rehabilitation
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Aquatic Exercise

Context:

  • Review of rehabilitation literature from 1979-1999.
  • Focus on aquatic therapy interventions for pediatric populations.
  • Examines use in neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diagnoses.

Purpose:

  • To summarize existing research on aquatic therapy for children and adolescents.
  • To identify the extent of published literature in this specialized field.
  • To assess the nature and limitations of available studies.

Summary:

  • Limited research exists on aquatic therapy for pediatric neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Most studies are descriptive (case reports, clinical practice), not rigorous research.
  • Available research features diverse age groups and diagnoses, limiting generalizability.
