Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hydrotherapy may be more suitable for children with CP because of the properties of water, and it may be more motivating for children than land-based exercise. Buoyancy makes it easier for children with moderate to severe mobility limitations to move in the water than to move and exercise on land.
