Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: Patients who suffered stroke have set improved walking ability as one of their highest priorities in physical rehabilitation. The ability to walk not only implies better mobility but also better health function for stroke patients due to existing complications such as cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this case series is to investigate and describe the effects of underwater gait training in subacute stroke patients as to gait speed, muscle strength, and household and community ambulation. The patients are both female aged 59 and 48 years with history of stroke 4 months prior the study. The underwater gait training sessions were done twice a week for 8 weeks; included active and active-assisted range of motion exercises, gait training, and strengthening exercises. After 8 weeks, both patients demonstrated increase in gait speed from baseline in a 10-meter walk test and improved scores in manual muscle testing. The case series suggests that underwater gait training done twice a week for 8 weeks can produce significant improvements on the gait speed and lower extremity muscle strength of 2 subacute stroke patients.
