Aquatic exercise improves motor impairments in people with Parkinson's disease, with similar or greater benefits than land-based exercise: a systematic review
ConclusionAquatic exercise improves motor impairments in people with PD significantly more than no intervention. It also has slightly to moderately greater benefits than land-based exercise on balance capacity, fear of falling, and health-related quality of life. On other outcomes, the benefits of aquatic exercise are similar to those of land-based exercise.Trial registrationPROSPERO CRD42017077370. (Source: Journal of Physiotherapy)

Positive findings and participant-suggested changes offer ways to improve physiotherapy for LGBTIQ+ people across educational and clinical settings. (Source: Journal of Physiotherapy)
