The inclusion criteria were full-text published articles in English, studies that included patients above the age of 18 years with diagnosed stroke, which investigated any form of aquatic exercise therapy with a dual-task aimed at improving post-stroke balance control while comparing pre-intervention and post-intervention outcome measures. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> With the help of given keywords, 573 articles were found initially. After excluding articles for various reasons, three articles were finally included in the review.<br /><strong>Conclusion: </strong>According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that aquatic dual-task training has a positive impact on the balance improvement of stroke patients.<br /><br /> https://www.jimc.ir/article_172783_01e6b77295a03c6bbf346400e2f07080.pdf
