Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is the most common knee musculoskeletal disorder in active persons. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three aquatic therapy methods on pain, function and unstable balance in women with PFPS.
In this study, 45 women with PFPS were selected and randomly divided into three groups: aquatic therapy, aquatic therapy with temporary patella taping and aquatic therapy with permanent patella taping. Before and after eight weeks, the factors of pain, function, and balance were assessed by the VAS scale, Kujala questionnaire and the Biodex balance system SD, respectively.
There was no significant difference between the averages of pre-test and post-test of pain, function and balance among the groups. The results of t-test showed significant differences between pre-tests and post-tests of factors in three groups; in this regard, pain reduction (P=0.0001) and increase in function (P=0.0001) were significant in three groups. Unstable balance in the level 4, for the temporary taping group in two directions ((POA=0.0001(, and (PAP=0.0001)) and also balance in the level 8, for the temporary taping group in two directions ((POA=0.0001 (and (PML=0.0001)) showed significant improvement.
It can be concluded that it is not necessary to use patella tapping with aquatic therapy as an additional cost. Only the experts who seek to increase their patient's balance can improve their patients’ unstable balance by temporarily patella taping.

LBP is one of the most important health problems and the main cause of people's disability in most countries that has reached a stage of the epidemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of six-weeks aquatic exercise on pain, disability, static balance and function of the trunk and pelvic girdle muscles in women with chronic low back pain.
The statistical population of this study were selected among 20 to 40 year old woman who referred to orthopedic clinics in Hamadan. This is a semi-experimental research. A total of 24 female patients with chronic low back pain were involved in the study and randomly were divided into two groups of 12 individuals: experimental and control groups. The tools for measuring the data were 2 standard questionnaires including Quebec Pain and Oswestry Disability, and also Stork Equilibrium, Seats Up Test, Sorensen Test, and Scott Test. The experimental group performed a six-week training protocol (three sessions per week), and during this period, the control group did not perform any practice. Evaluation and measurements were performed before and after the intervention. In order to analyze the data, using SPSS 19, dependent and independent t-test were used at a significant level of 0.05.
The results of t-test showed that the experimental group had significantly improved dependent variables (p The results of this study demonstrated that the aquatic therapy protocol used in this study can be an effective therapeutic method to improve the physical condition, health, pain, disability, and patients’ balance.

Today, participation in physical activity is proposed to improve symptoms of chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis. In this research,we aimed to evaluate the effect of aquatic exercise therapy on quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis. It was a counter-balance design study. By the use of random sampling, 30 females (aged 40 to 74 years) with KO were assigned into two equal experimental groups. The standard questionnaire of "Knee injury and Osteo‌arthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)" was used to capture 5 concepts, namely symptoms, pain, functions related to daily living, functions related to sports and recreational activities, and quality of life. During the first eight-week (between pre and mid tests), the first group had no training, whilst the second group carried out their own exercise program. During the second eight-week (between mid and post tests), the training position of groups was reversed. In other words, both groups used the same training program for 8 weeks, but the periodizations of the programs were different. Using SPSS software, data was statistically analyzed by repeated meseaure ANOVA. The results of both experimental groups were the same, indicating that a) 8 weeks of untraining led to variation in none of 5 dimensions of KOOS, b) AET led to improvement of all dimensions of KOOS, and c) disrupt of AET led to retreat of achievements. These findings were similar to those obtained by functional tests (p =0.000). The results showed that the program used in this study is useful for patients with knee osteoarthritis and led to improvement of their quality of life.

Low back pain is the most important health problem in which the complementary therapy، such as water exercise therapy and massage could have a basic role in its treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of water exercise therapy and massage on the pain severity and disability of patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. In this semi-experimental experiment، 24 male patients with chronic nonspecific lowback pain aged 20-40 years with average age of 27. 23 were randomly divided into two groups of «water exercise therapy» and «massage» for treatment. The treatment period lasted 6 weeks and each week consisted of 4 sessions. In order to assess the pain severity and disability، the Oswestry Questionnaires and visual analog score were used respectively before and after the treatment. For data analysis، ANOVA test was applied at the significance level of P≤0. 05. The average pain severity and disability in the water exercise therapy group in the pre-test was 5. 66 ± 0. 878 and 24. 83 ±5. 21 respectively and in the post-test the scores changed to 4. 58 ± 0. 729 and 14. 33 ± 3. 89. The average pain severity and disability in the massage group in the pre-test was 5. 41 ± 0. 668 and 23. 166 ± 3. 45، respectively. The scores changed to 3. 00 ± 1. 128 and 16. 50 ± 4. 10 in the post-test. Therefore، significant changes occurred in both groups. Both massage therapy and water exercise therapy decreased the pain severity in patients with chronic nonspecific back pain، however، massage creates a better effect in pain reduce than water exercise therapy.

Pain and limited range of motion (ROM) are the crucial subsequent results of joint hemorrhages in patients suffering from hemophilia. Different training protocols designed to treat these patients are of great importance. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of drought and water therapy on pain and range of motion of the knee in hemophilia patients. In this present clinical-trial study، 40 patients with hemophilia type A were randomly divided into three groups: exercise therapy on land، hydrotherapy، and control groups. The first two groups attended their special exercises on three days within 4 weeks، but the control group were only subjected to their daily life activities. Experimental pain، flexion and knee extension were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and standard Goniometer at the beginning and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Scheffe’s test (P<0. 05). Both experimental groups exhibited significant reduction of pain along with improved knee flexion and extension compared with the control group (P<0. 001). Pain reduction in subjects treated in water treatment was significantly higher than exercise group in drought (P<0. 001)، but no significant changes was seen in flexion and knee extension of the two exercise groups (P>0. 05). The use of therapeutic exercise in water with regular exercise rehabilitation for patients with hemophilia can be helpful to reduce pain and improve range of motion in hemophilia patients. The effect of exercise therapy on pain reduction is more effective compared to traditional pain therapy.

Depression is one of the most common mental disorders of old age. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an aquatic exercise program on the depression levels of the elderly male people. Thirty elderly male subjects (mean age: 68. 46 ± 5. 19 y، mean weight: 64. 66 ±4. 72 kg، mean height: 167 ± 4. 25 m) were randomly assigned to either a control or experimental group. The experimental group participated in aquatic exercises three days a week for six weeks. The control group asked to continue their routine activities. Depression levels were evaluated using Beck test in two groups before and after the aquatic exercises. Descriptive statistics، independent and paired samples t test applied for statistical analysis (P ≤ 0. 05). Paired sample t test showed that depression status significantly differed between pre- and post-treatments for the experimental group while no differences observed in the control group. Also significant differences were seen between two groups. Aquatic exercise was successful in significantly decreasing older men’s depression and can be considered as an effective intervention.
