“…When combined with land-based therapy, aquatic therapy proved successful in enhancing cadence. The study's findings conflict with those of Morer et al (2020), who reported that there was no significant improvement in gait speed over a short distance, the ten-meter walk test, but that there was a significant improvement for a longer running time, the six-minute walk test, following two weeks of aquatic therapy. Each session included two components: thalassotherapy (ten minutes in the water bath and an hour of outdoor activity for exposure to the environment), and aquatic therapy (Sayfullaevich, et al, 2021).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether using an underwater treadmill program could enhance gait speed, balance and lower extremity function. Study design: Randomized control trial. Methods: Forty post-stroke male patients with abnormalities in gait and balance were divided randomly into two equal groups: Study group (A): was given a program for an underwater treadmill. A treadmill program on the ground was given to the control group (B). The ten-meter walk test was used to assess the gait speed of patients in both groups. Assessment of functional capacity utilizing the lower extremity functional scale and the Posturomed device for balance. For all groups, assessments were performed before and after the four-week therapy period. Results: Post treatment results revealed a significant increase in gait speed in both groups but no significant difference between them. More significant increase in balance and lower extremity function in the study group (A) than in control group (B) Conclusion: Underwater treadmill training program is an effective program in improving, balance, gait speed and lower extremity function in stroke patients.

“…Balneotherapy facilities could provide to post-COVID-19 subjects neuromotor rehabilitation with in-water muscle strength and balance exercises and walking recovery (Musumeci et al 2018 ; Masiero et al 2019 ; Morer et al 2020 ) enhancing cardiac (Pagourelias et al 2011 ; Sato et al 2009 ; Yuan et al 2019 ; Persiyanova-Dubrova et al 2019 ; Karaarslan et al 2018 ) or pulmonary performance (Baldi et al 2015 ; Khaltaev et al 2020 ). Moreover, balneotherapy may contribute to the management of comorbidities frequently existing in patients recovered from COVID-19: such as obesity and additional neurological and/or musculoskeletal conditions (Bender et al 2014 ; Fioravanti et al 2015b ; Masiero et al 2018 ; Özkuk and Dilekçi 2019 ; Munteanu et al 2019 ; Özkuk and Uysal 2019 ; Koç et al 2021 ; Eröksüz et al 2020 ; Cantista and Maraver 2020 ; Takinacı et al 2019 ; Dilekçi et al 2019 , 2020 ; Kamioka et al 2020b ; Tenti et al 2020 ; Özkuk and Ateş 2020 ; Yücesoy et al 2021 ; Karaarslan et al 2021 ).…”

Italian and Japanese public widely use balneotherapy. The population interest in balneotherapy in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) era should be investigated. Therefore, we aimed to exploit Google Trends analysis, as a measure of peoples’ interest in balneotherapy, in two countries, Italy and Japan. In this infodemiology study, Google Trends was queried for the lay terms widely used by the Italian population to refer to the balneotherapy setting (terme + termale) and by the Japanese to refer to the bathing place and balneotherapy facilities (温泉 + スパ). The internet searches in 2020 were compared to overlapping time spans in 2016–2019 and were correlated with new confirmed cases/deaths. This study demonstrated that from February 23 to June 20, 2020, and from October 4 to December 26, 2020, the internet searches of the Italian words corresponding to balneotherapy were statistically significantly decreased; however, the internet searches were not significantly different in June 21 to October 3, 2020, compared to overlapping time spans in 2016–2019 in Italy. The study also showed that from March 15 to September 5, 2020, and from November 29 to December 26, 2020, the internet searches of the Japanese words corresponding to balneotherapy were statistically significantly decreased; however, the internet searches were significantly increased in September 13 to November 7, 2020, and were not significantly different in November 8 to 28, 2020, compared to overlapping time spans in 2016–2019 in Japan. There were significant negative correlations between the relative search volume and number of new cases (rho=−0.634; p<0.001)/deaths (rho=−0.856; p<0.001) in Italy and the number of new deaths (rho=−0.348; p=0.012) in Japan. Population interest in balneotherapy has changed in the COVID-19 era both in Italy and Japan. During the early stage of pandemic (March to June), the interest was lower. After this early stage, the interest showed a recovery in both countries. In Italy, the population interest reached to its prior levels in late June through early October, with a peak in August. In Japan, the recovery exceeded the prior 4-year levels in mid-September through early November. Then, both countries demonstrated a decline in interest: began in early October in Italy and late November in Japan. This information would allow us to understand/address the population response in the pandemic in respect of the balneotherapy and would guide the preparedness of healthcare providers and planners both in this pandemic and future similar situations.

A stroke is a brain attack that can result in disability. It is scarce to know the integration between complementary and alternative therapy into conventional treatment for stroke survivors. Indonesia has various complementary and alternative therapies due to the length of the country then it is necessary to know any types of complementary and alternative therapy used by patients. The study aims to explore the treatment of stroke patients using complementary and alternative therapies. The qualitative design with a phenomenological approach was used. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight families with stroke survivors according to the inclusion criteria and using source triangulation. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. A selective analysis approach and focus are used for data analysis. Results showed there were three themes derived including types of complementary and alternative therapy, method of manufacture, method of administration, and therapeutic dose. Types of complementary and alternative therapies used by the participant include herbal therapy, massage, exercise, magnetic therapy, light therapy, thalassotherapy, electrical stimulation, and diet. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness, dosage, and safety procedures to combined with conventional treatment.
