Individuals with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) have extensive health problems and need for personal assistance throughout the day. Few physical- and health promoting activities are available for them and among the activities, few have been scientifically evaluated. Specialized water dance intervention (SWAN) is a new method developed to relieve discomfort and promote physical wellbeing among people with PIMD.
