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
