Abstract

The aquatic environment causes many modifications in motor gestures, changes directly linked to the characteristics and physical principles that govern this medium. Gait is a functional motor act acquired in childhood, repeated and automated. The objective of this study was to identify how the resistance of the water interferes with the motor behavior in aquatic gait. Methods: a review was carried out using the Bireme database (LILACS, IBECS, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SciELO). The articles studied showed that gait could be defined and influenced by its historical evolution, the variables of the water environment (depth, density, flow) and the characteristics of the body being displaced (shape, composition, weight, etc). The findings point to a somatosensory response that is enabled by the action as a function of the composition, shape, weight, etc.
