The Berg Balance scale is best to use with what types of people
older adults
ability to produce smooth, effective, efficient, safe, and accurate movement
Coordination
What involves movement synergies
Coordination
sense of joint position and movement
Proprioception
Ability to maintain the body’s center of gravity over the base of support
Balance
Muscle spindles, GTOs, joint receptors, and cutaneous receptors all contribute to what
Proprioception
Respond to changes in muscle length and rate of change
Muscle spindles
Sensitve to change in tension/force development within the muscle and rate of change of tension
GTO
Where are joint receptors found
Synovial Joints
Provide information on rate of movement and degrees of joint angulation
Joint receptors
What type of receptors are cuteaneous receptors
mechanoreceptors

Year that the first PTA graduates
1969
PTAs perform ___________selected by supervising PT
interventions
Practice law in SC saying how long until a patient needs to be reevaluated by the PT
60 days or every 8th treatment day
Can a PTA supervise a SPT
no
Can a PTA supervise an aide
yes
Can a PTA by supervised by telecommunication
yes
what does a PT direct/supervise a PTA to perform
Selected procedural interventions
Can a PTA do massage and use physical agents such as Estim and ultrasound
yes
does APTA support letting PTAs do dry needling
no
When is it allowable for a PTA to make modifications in selected interventions
- Being directed by a PT
- To ensure patient/client safety and comfort
How many CEUs are PTAs requried to have every 2 year
3 (30 hours of continuing ed)
How does relaxation response training work
- Reduce body structure impairments which leads to…
2. Promotion of activity and participation (ultimate goal)
Focusing on physical sensation of own breathing or heartbeat
(picturing body as warm and relaxed
Autogenic Response Training
With relaxation response training do you want to breath in or out longer
breathe out longer
alternating tensing and relaxing muscles
- contracting for 5-7 seconds
- relaxation of 20-30 seconds
- progress distal to proximal
Jacobson’s Progressive Relaxation
Using electronc devices to teach you how to produced the relaxation response
Biofeedback
The upward force in the pool opposite to gravity
Buoyancy
Do you bear more or less of your weight when water is higher up on your body
Less!
You bear ____% of your body weight when the water comes up to C7
10%
You bear ____% of your body weight when the water comes up to the xiphoid
33%
You bear ____% of your body weight when the water comes up to the ASIS
50%
Up towards the surface assists or resists
assists
Down towards the pool bottom assists or resists
resists
Vertical forces that do not intersect the Center of Buoyoncy do what
create rotational motion
Greater depth in the pool = greater pressure speaks to which principle
Hydrostatic pressure
What does going deeper in the pool do to your body physiologically
- ) Reduces effusion
- ) Assists venous and lymphatic return
- ) Centralizes peripheral blood flow
What principle of aquatics does this speak to:
Resistance is proportional to velocity of movement thru liquid and surface area
Viscosity
What is the clinical significance of viscosity
With larger SA movement increases resistance more than a smaller surface area
AND
No resistance when movement ceases. Increased moving surface area increases resistance
The tendency of fluid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible
Surface Tension
Greater work and resistive force when moving extremity thru water surface applies to which principle
Surface Tension
molecules moving parallel to each other (slower movements)
Laminar flow
molecules do not move parallel to each other (move faster)
Turbulent flow
cumulative effects of turbulence and viscosity acting on an object in motion
Drag
tubulence + viscosity =
drag
Drag =
turbulence + viscosity
Hydromechanics:
Which component of hydrmechanics does this indicate?
Increased speed of movment increases resistance
Laminar flow
Hydromechanics:
Which component of hydrmechanics does this indicate?
Moving water past patient will require patient to work harder to maintain position
Turbulent flow
Hydromechanics:
Which component of hydrmechanics does this indicate?
Can be used to apply a gentle stretch
Drag force
Hydromechanics:
Which component of hydrmechanics does this indicate?
Appplication of equipment will increase drag and resistance
drag
amount of heat required to raise temp of 1g/1 degree C
Specific heat
does water reatin more heat than air
yes
Water conducts heat _____times faster than air
25x
Will an individual moving thru cold water lose body temp faster than at rest
yes
What type of pools are best for those with neuro issues
cool pools
