Abstract
Background and aim: Physiological changes, such as muscular weakening and a rise in physical ailments, psychological and social challenges, and other difficulties become more common beyond age 60, making old age a particularly vulnerable time in a person's life. By studying the effects of various hydrotherapy techniques on the static and dynamic balance of the elderly, this study hopes to shed light on this question.
Methods: The present study employs a semi-experimental approach of applied research. 45 women and 45 men, all aged 60 and above, were randomly chosen for the research, and their results were compared to those of 30 controls of similar age and gender. After the completion of the pre-examination tests, all qualified people who were pre-tested were randomly divided into three groups, 15 each groups of water therapy exercises in the deep part of water (therapy exercises at a depth of 20.2 meters up to 50.2 meters). The second group of water therapy exercises is in the shallow part (therapy exercises in water at a depth of 1 meter to 130 meters). Finally, the third group was the control group.
