Abstract
Introduction: The water environment has been often used for health and rehabilitation exercise. One of the merits exercising in water environment would be that human can simulate the target motion usually conducted in real life due to a presence of the physical properties of water. A previous study reported that the simulation exercise for the target motion such as walking, standing and stepping motion in water environment enhanced an ability of performing those motions as activities of daily living. The other study investigated similarity between in water and on land environments and reported that some parts of motion would be comparable between two environments. From those previous studies, a question has been arisen: how much human can simulate the target motion in water environment purposely? Based on this question, the author has presented that the elbow joint flexion motion would possibly be underestimated by 10 degree in water environment. However, the subjects of the study experienced competitive swimming training. Therefore, data with general persons would be needed when thinking about a usefulness for health and rehabilitation exercise. The aim of this study is to investigate how much human can simulate the target motion when immersed in water environment.
