110
Q

Cues telling the patient what you are about to do. Ensures the patient knows what to expect. Demonstration, guided movement, PROM

112
Q

What are action verbal cues used for?

A

Used for when you start the patient through the movement, includes the timing of the movement, changes during the movement, increased or decreased force production

113
Q

What are corrective verbal cues?

A

What we tend to give in modifying the activity. Can be done during or after the movement

114
Q

The volume with which the command is given affects the ____

A

The volume with which the command is given affects the strength of resulting muscle contraction

115
Q

When should louder commands be used?

A

Louder command when strong muscle contraction is required

116
Q

When should softer and calmer commands be used?

A

Softer and calmer tone when the goal is relaxation and pain relief

117
Q

Why are PNF patterns developed?

A

Because all normal coordinated human movement occurs in a spiral or diagonal movement and is rarely in cardinal planes

118
Q

When are muscular contractions strongest and most coordinated?

A

During diagonal patterns of movement

119
Q

What do diagonal patterns involve?

A

Rotation of the extremities and tend to require more core stability

Q

What does normal timing look at?

A

Proper sequence of muscle contraction

Q

For most functional activities, do we need stability or mobility first?

A

We tend to need more proximal stability first, before we can utilize our distal mobility

122
Q

A

To bring 2 joint surfaces together

123
Q

What are the benefits of approximation?

A

Q

What is the difference between hold relax and contract relax?

A

In hold relax the patient is holding against the PT’s resistance, while in contract relax, the patient is attempting to push the limb down and the PT is holding it, hence holding agains the patient’s resistance

143
Q

147
Q

What is buoyancy?

A

Upward push equal to the weight of the flute the object displaced in water

148
Q

What are the benefits of buoyancy?

A
  • Can help to assist, or resist, patient

* Helps to promote decreased WB

149
Q

___ influences the ability of the buoyancy to assist pushing the limb to the surface

A

Position of the limb influences the ability of the buoyancy to assist pushing the limb to the surface

150
Q

The more ___ you are, the more buoyancy you have

A

The more horizontal you are, the more buoyancy you have

151
Q

What can assist with buoyancy?

A

Adding floatation devices to a limb will assist with buoyancy

152
Q

What is the moment of force?

A

Position representing the turning effect of buoyancy

153
Q

The longer the lever arm, the

___ the torque produced

A

The longer the lever arm, the

greater the torque produced

154
Q

What is density?

A

Mass per unit volume

155
Q

___ of a substance affects its ability to float

A

Relative density of a substance affects its ability to float

156
Q

What is the specific gravity of H2O?

A

1.0

157
Q

What will sink and what will float?

A

Anything less than 1.0 will float and anything greater than 1.0 will float

158
Q

What is hydrostatic pressure?

A

Fluid pressure exerted equally
on all surface areas of an
immersed body at a given
depth (Pascal’s Law)

159
Q

Hydrostatic pressure is proportional to the ___

A

Hydrostatic pressure is proportional to the *depth of

submersion*

160
Q

What is viscosity?

A

Amount of friction acting on a moving part in water

161
Q

What is cohesion?

A

Tendency of water molecules to stick together

162
Q

What is slow movement?

A

Less friction, less resistance from cohesion

163
Q

What is fast movement?

A

More friction, more resistance from cohesion

164
Q

What are the effects of hydrostatic pressure?

A
  • Leads to decreased blood pooling
  • Provides static support for unstable joints
  • Resist rib expansion
165
Q

What is drag force?

A

The force that is created from dragging an object

166
Q

Drag force is modified by ____

A

Drag force is modified by shape and speed of object

167
Q

What does increased streamline of an object equal?

A

Decreased drag

168
Q

What does increased speed of an object equal?

A

Increased drag

169
Q

What does increased drag equal?

A

Increased torque on limb

170
Q

174
Q

What are the characteristics of temperature in aquatic therapy?

A
  • Patients can perceive small changes in temperature
  • Temperature will penetrate to deeper tissues
  • Can not maintain core warmth with temp <25oC
  • Exercise at temps >37oC may be harmful if prolonged
