The Hydrotrack, a treadmill immersed in a water bath, is designed to provide an in-office approach to aquatic therapy. 24 clinical clients in an outpatient sports medicine practice were invited to use the Hydrotrack as part of their rehabilitation treatment. Our purpose was to describe the way(s) in which the Hydrotrack is useful in rehabilitation treatment. Exercise protocols designed by a physical therapist were used for each subject. We monitored an external criterion, heart rate, to measure the subjects' exertion during the exercise process. Self-reported ratings of exercise efficacy and exertion were also used to quantify the subjects' performance on the Hydrotrack. Heart-rate values and self-report ratings supported the usefulness of this device in physical therapy
