Week 9 Review Flashcards
Immersion in water will:
Reduce peripheral edema due to the effects of hydrostatic pressure on cardiovascular and renal function
Which of the following is NOT one of the physiological effects of exercising in water compared to exercising on land?
There is a greater potential for increasing heart rate
For hydrotherapy, which of the variables would you change to achieve decreased weight bearing a patient’s lower extremities?
Have the patient move from a 2-foot to a 4-foot depth
Water is a particularly safe and effective strengthening medium because it ____ structures, and its resistance depends on the ____ of the person’s movement.
unloads weight-bearing; speed
When a person exercises in water, the heart rate response is ____. Therefore ____ rather than ____ should be used to guide exercise intensity.
blunted; perceived exertion; heart rate
The cardiovascular effects of immersion are as follows:
Due to ____ of water, the venous blood is displaced ____. This, in turn, ____ cardiac volume, as well as ____stroke volume. Therefore, ____ cardiac output.
hydrostatic pressure; proximally; increases; increases; increases
Please match the term with the proper definition:
-buoyancy
-hydrostatic pressure
-resistance
-buoyancy: an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid that is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces; enabling it to float or feel lighter
-hydrostatic pressure: the pressure exerted by a fluid on a body immersed in the fluid, the pressure increases with increased depth of immersion
-resistance: a force counter to the direction of movement. resistance to a body’s movement in water is proportional to the relative speed of body and water motion
Water-based exercise is particularly appropriate during pregnancy because it unloads the weight-bearing joints; controls peripheral edema; and causes less elevation of heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature than similar exercise on dry land.
true
Please indicate whether the following is contraindicated or a precaution for immersion forms of hydrotherapy, specifically aquatic pool therapy:
-cardiac instability

-bleeding
-infection in the area to be immersed
-fear of water
-bowel incontinence
-urinary incontinence
-respiratory problems
-severe epilepsy
-suicidal patients

Which of the following are precautions for full-body immersion in hot or very warm water (select all that apply)
-pregnancy
-poor thermal regulation
-urinary incontinence
-multiple sclerosis
The temperature of the pool is important to consider. The water temperature should be kept at 79 - 97 degrees Fahrenheit.
The warmer end of the range ____ , should be used for ____ exercise by elderly deconditioned patients or by patients with arthritis.
The cooler end of the range ____ , should be used for vigorous, high-intensity exercise will be performed.
The water temperature should not be allowed to be below ____ because such low temperature can impair.
-79-97 degrees F
-93-97 degrees F
-light, low-intensity
-79-82 degrees F
-vigorous, high-intensity
-65 degrees F
-the ability of the muscle to contract
For treatment of edema and venous stasis ulcers with intermittent compression pumps, inflation time is generally:
Greater than deflation time
Compression reduces edema by:
Increasing extravascular hydrostatic pressure and circulation
Which of the following is NOT an adverse effect of edema?
Joint hypermobility
Which of the following is NOT a function of compression?
Facilitate the healing of ulcers caused by arterial insufficiency
