Abstract

The specific effect of general dynamic water exercise in 41 year-old woman with chronic cerebellar ataxia induced by meningitis was observed. She was conservatively treated and took bed rest for two weeks, and she suffered from severe dynamic and static ataxia. And exercise under weight-bearing and bandage pressure and Frenkel exercise was applied for nine months. However her disability was not improved. And then she took a 30-minute walking practice in water twice weekly. After that training of 3 months, dramatic improvements in trunk balance and walking speed were demonstrated. She could stand up and walk by herself. The FIM scores for walking, stair stepping and transfer also improved. We suggested that walking practice in water could contribute to improve her ataxia.
