Introduction: Neuromuscular diseases are characterized by affecting some element that forms the
motor unit, progressively deteriorating the person, affecting several areas or systems of the body.
Furthermore, aquatic therapy is a type of rehabilitation that through both physical and mechanical
characteristics provide effects on the cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, neuromuscular and
musculoskeletal systems.
Objectives: The main objective is to evaluate the benefits that aquatic therapy brings us on quality of
life terms, observing in turn the effects it produces, if it can serve as a standalone therapy or if it is
more effective as a complement to traditional therapy and if the effects are sustainable in the long
term.
Material and methods: Research was conducted through different databases including PubMed,
PEDro, Scielo, ENFISPO, IBECS and ScienceDirect.
Results: Eight articles were reviewed, of which 3 articles are focused on Duchenne Muscular
Dystrophy (DMD), 3 articles in Spinal Muscular Atrophy (AME), one in a post-poliomyelitis
syndrome and finally a study that shows different neuromuscular pathologies.
Conclusions: Aquatic therapy has shown to improve quality of life by enhancing strength, flexibility
and resistance to exercise. However, it does not prevent deformities, it is considered a complementary
therapy to terrestrial therapy and we cannot guarantee that the benefits will be sustainable in the long
term.
