18
Q

physical property 2

A

hydrostatic pressure

19
Q

hydrostatic pressure

A

occurs on immersed portions of body

20
Q

clinical implications of hydrostatic pressure

A

increased pressure reduces or limits effusion

assists w/ venous return

induces bradycardia

centralized peripheral blood flow

21
Q

physical property 3

A

viscosity

22
Q

viscosity

A

friction occurring b/w the molecules of liquid

resulting in resistance to flow

23
Q

what increases surface area

A

using a plow

24
Q

physical property 4

A

thermodynamics

25
Q

water retains heat _______ time greater than air

A

1000

26
Q

water has a

A

increased ability to transfer heat energy

27
Q

what does this property do –> thermodynamics

A

makes the use of water in rehab very versatile

28
Q

cold plunge tanks

A

10-15 C

62-67 F

29
Q

public and competitive pools

A

27-29 C

79-81 F

30
Q

therapy pools

A

27-35 C

86-94 F

31
Q

hot tubs

A

37.5-41 C

97.5-101 F

32
Q

thermoneutral

A

34 C

93F

33
Q

designing a aquatic program

A

safety

pool care

34
Q

what should we choose for an aquatic program

A

appropriate water temp

appropriate depth

appropriate equipment

35
Q

exercise for mobility impairment –> considerations

A

force of buoyancy

available ROM at joint

direction of desired motion

need for any flotation or weighted equipment

progress simple ROM exercises

use lever arm length and buoyant equipment

36
Q

progress simple ROM exercises

A

toward activity limitations and disabilities

37
Q

use lever arm length and buoyant equipment

A

increase or decrease the amount of assistance from the buoyancy

38
Q

muscle strength, power and endurance impairments (1)

A

principles and progressions are the same on land

resistance is influenced by surface area and speed

leg and trunk stabilizers are necessary to counter many UE movements

traditional swimming strokes complement LE dominant exercises

39
Q

muscle strength, power and endurance impairments (2)

A

shallow water running can be an excellent CV conditioning exercise

CV endurance can be increased by relying on principles of overload and progression same as in land - based programs

activity must be sufficient intensity and duration

deep-water activities are better for individuals with WBing limitations

40
Q

balance impairment

A

ideal environment for balance training

variety of activities can be performed

loss of balance is slowed dramatically

allows for increased rxn time

41
Q

aquatic rehab to treat activity limitations

A

as pt improves….

any impairments must be addressed concurrently

as normal mechanics improve…

42
Q

as pt improves

A

modify activities to emphasize activity limitations

43
Q

as mechanics improve

A

decrease water levels to replicate land-based environments involving more gravity
