Of the included trials, combined aquatic and usual care physiotherapy was evaluated in people with stroke in eight trials and in people with Parkinson's disease in two trials. Trial and outcome heterogeneity prevented the completion of meta\u2010analyses. Data from five trials (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 259) in people with stroke suggest that aquatic physiotherapy improves measures of balance, walking, mobility, and activities of daily living. No significant differences were detected in measures of activity limitation for people with Parkinson's disease nor measures of impairment for people with stroke or Parkinson's disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review provides preliminary evidence that the combination of aquatic physiotherapy with usual care physiotherapy may improve activity limitations in people with stroke. This review found no evidence to support the combination of aquatic physiotherapy with usual care physiotherapy to improve activity limitations in Parkinson's disease or other neurological populations. These results should be interpreted with caution due to the mixed quality of the included trials.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pri.1813","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,8]],"date-time":"2019-10-08T23:53:49Z","timestamp":1570578829000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Combining aquatic physiotherapy with usual care physiotherapy for people with neurological conditions: A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9271-9412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tamara A.","family":"Moritz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Victorian Paediatric Rehabilitation Service Eastern Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Snowdon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Allied Heath Clinical Research Office Eastern Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Casey L.","family":"Peiris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Nutrition and Sport La Trobe University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-146-10-200705150-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","unstructured":"Australian Physiotherapy Association.
