Final Flashcards
Aerobic
Fuel source: glycogen, fats, protein Oxygen required System predominates over other energy systems after 2 mins of exercise Low intensity many reps
Anaerobic
Fuel source: Glycogen No Oxygen required Lactic acid produced System provides energy for activity of Mod intensity and short duration; major energy source from 30-90 sec of exercise. HIgh intensity, minimal reps
Aerobic program
60%-90% max HR (220 - age) Exercise HR should never exceed the symptom-limited HR achieved on an exercise test 20-30 min 3-4x wk

10-12 wks
Buoyancy
Upward force of water working against gravity
Hydrostatic pressure
Pressure exerted equally on all surfaces of an immersed object can reduce edema Increased depth will increase pressure
WB and buoyancy
ASIS - 50% WB Xyphoid - 33% WB C7 - 10% WB
Viscosity
friction between molecules of liquid resulting in resistance to flow Resistance is proportional to velocity of movement through liquid
Surface tension
Surface of water acts as a membrane under tension. Resistive force of surface tension changes proportionally to the size of the object moving through the liquid
Streamlined flow
Steady flow of molecules
Turbulent flow
Irregular pattern of flow by water molecules Greater resistance
aquatic therapy Clinical uses
ROM Pain Balance, proprioception, coordination Strength WB restrictions on land Peripheral edema in extremity Lack of progress on land
Contraindications Aquatic Therapy
Infectious disease Excessive fear of water Fever or high temp Open wound Contagious skin disease Surgical incision, staple in place Serious cardiac condition Uncontrolled seizure disorder
Precautions Aquatic therapy
Med controlled seizure condition Recently healed surgical incision Absent/impaires peripheral sensation Diabetes Postural Hypotension Significant vestibular disorder Resp dysfunction Colostomy Diff with bowel, bladder control Trachea tube Fear of water Poor endurance/Asthma
Water Temp
Thermoneutral 31-33c (88-90.5f) > used for low level activity. ROM, relaxation, pain, coordination, gait training, low level balance) < cardiovascualr endurance, higher intensity, local m. endurance strengthening Max HR should be reduced to 10-20 bpm < traget HR
Factors to consider with geriatrics
Psychological needs Social needs Multiple diagnosises Environment Balance Motivation Prevention
Age related changes
Loss of bone mass Stiffening cartilage Postural changes Decreased flexibility Decreased strength Decreased m. mass Increased body fat Decreased endurance Deacreased RXN time Cardiopulmonary function Visual/auditory changes sensory changes Balance changes Cognitive changes
Pt/Family education
Safe, efficient means of mobility and exercise
how to assist mobility efforts
- Bed mobility/positionsing
- Sliding board TX
Safe use of Equipment
Components of exercies program
Plyometrics
Jump training, shock training
Quick powerful movements (eccentric -> concentric)
enhances the excitability of the neurologic receptors for imporved reactivity of the muscular system
Strength training and explosive movements
Phases of plyometrics
Eccentric - Stretch or setting period
Amortization - Time btwn eccentric and concentric
Concentris - Facilitated shortening contraction
Plyometrics Precautions
Acute inflammation or pain
Immediatley post op pathology
Gross instability
