Introdução - Em Portugal, as doenças cérebro-cardiovasculares continuam a ser a principal causa de morte e de incapacidade permanente, apesar de se ter verificado uma redução da incidência ao longo da década passada. Existem vários estudos que mostram a efetividade da Fisioterapia Aquática, nomeadamente na melhoria do equilíbrio, autonomia na marcha e nas Atividades da Vida Diária. Objetivos: identificar o efeito da Fisioterapia Aquática no equilíbrio, na funcionalidade e na qualidade de vida, em indivíduos adultos com sequelas de patologia neurológica/AVC. Métodos - Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura, recorrendo às bases de dados PubMed e PEDro. Foram considerados estudos experimentais controlados e quasi experimentais, sem limite temporal, escritos em português ou inglês e com qualidade metodológica de ≥ 5 na escala PEDro. Resultados - Foram selecionados 13 artigos, que englobam uma amostra de 525 adultos pós Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) sujeitos a Fisioterapia Aquática (FA) e/ou “Fisioterapia em Terra” (FT). A maioria dos resultados dos outcome em questão obteve uma maioria significativa nos grupos experimentais (FA e/ou FT) p< 0,01. Conclusões - Conclui-se que a FA combinada com FT oferece maior benefícios a Utentes com sequelas de AVC, apesar da FT também se verificar melhorias. Parece que a Fisioterapia Aquática melhora o equilíbrio, e consequentemente a funcionalidade e qualidade de vida.
ABSTRACT - Introduction – Despite the reduction in incidence over the past decade, Cerebro-cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death and permanent disability in Portugal. Several studies show the effectiveness of Aquatic Physiotherapy, particularly in improving balance, walking autonomy, and activities of daily life. Objective: to identify the effect of Aquatic Physiotherapy on balance, functionality, and quality of life in adult individuals with neurological pathology/stroke sequelae. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the PubMed and PEDro databases. Controlled and quasi-experimental studies without a time limit, written in Portuguese or English, and with methodological quality of ≥ 5 on the PEDro scale, were considered. Results - Thirteen articles were selected, encompassing a sample of 525 post-stroke adults subjected to Aquatic Physiotherapy (AP) and/or Land Physiotherapy (LP). Most of the outcome results in question showed a significant majority in the experimental groups (AP and/or LP) p< 0.01. Conclusions – This study indicates that AP combined with LP offers greater benefits to patients with stroke sequelae, although LP also shows improvements. It seems that Aquatic Physiotherapy improves balance and consequently functionality and quality of life.
