Hydrotherapy & Contrast Baths Flashcards
two ways to increase resistance in water
increase SA like flippers, increase speed of movement
viscosity is due to blank of molecules
bonding
water makes it blank to breathe
harder
blank increases in water which causes blank cardiac output which makes the heart work blank
venous return, increased, easier
tendency to remain afloat in liquid
buoyancy
specific gravity of water at 4 degrees C
1 g/cm3
anything with a specific gravity less than 1 will blank
float
anything with specific gravity above 1 will blank
sink
femur will blank
sink
vertebra will blank
float
pressure exerted by water on the immersed part
hydrostatic pressure
object immersed in fluid will have pressure exerted on all surfaces equally at same depth
pascals law
degree to which fluid resists flow
viscosity
water can also clean blank
wounds
water blank asthma and vital capacity
decreases
immersing hands in water causes blank which results in blank
vasoconstriction, wrinkling
indications for hydrotherapy
look at slid
form of infrared modality emitting electromagnetic radiation and is for superficial heating or cooling of tissue
contrast baths
contrast baths are used as a blank treatment which can stimulate the circulatory system to start the blank and may relieve pain by causing blank
vascular, healing process, desensitization
tub of water agitated by electric turbine which increases hydrostatic pressure further and a means of grading exercise
whirlpool
butterfly shaped whirlpool so a person can lay in it
hubbard tank
