The Effect of an Aquatic Neuromuscular Exercise Program on Pain Alleviation and Functional Performance in Cases of Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy Among Overweight Middle-Aged Women
This four-week aquatic neuromuscular exercise program proved superior to conventional exercises in reducing pain, improving ankle dorsiflexion, and enhancing functional performance in overweight middle-aged women with chronic Achilles tendinopathy. These findings support the use of aquatic-based neuromuscular rehabilitation as a clinically beneficial and low-impact intervention for this population.
