The underwater treademill is very useful to improve proprioception, coordination and balance of the patient,
without over working on joints; moreover, it can be used to achieve a good cardiovascular fitness level.
The combination of water and walking on trademill results in a further muscular work and in a reasonable articular
fatigue, since the weight carried by the animal is reduced by floatation; the higher the water level, the less the
body weight to carry, the less the effort.
The underwater trademill is an excellent way to enable the animal with joint pain to walk.
The simple floating allows the animal, which is forced to immobility because of walking disability, to stand assisted
and to keep a correct posture, gaining in physical and psychological wellbeing.
