An aquatic device is usable in an aquatic environment for a variety of
purposes, such as physical therapy, rehabilitation, and/or exercise. The
aquatic device permits a person to simulate a walking or running gait
cycle in the aquatic environment, reducing the stress/strain associated
with walking or running on the ground. An aquatic device includes a
foot-receiving member rotationally coupled to a fin member. The fin
member, when in an extended position, provides increased resistance as
the person attempts to walk or run in the aquatic environment. During a
walking or running gait, the fin member moves into a folded position,
thus reducing the resistance of the water on the aquatic device. The
aquatic device is adaptable and modifiable to have varying shapes,
designs, sizes, resistance levels, and/or other aspects.
