Water walking is one of the most extensively used therapeutic options in aquatic therapy. The reduced body weight and the resistance offered by the water can be modulated according to the percentage of body immersed, the use of aids and the speed of advancement. Knowing what the kinetic, kinematic and physiological parameters of walking in water are in a healthy individual can help the physiotherapist to identify the most appropriate conduction methods to achieve the desidered goal in patients.
