    PTA 101 Overview of Aquatic Therapy (NCHPAD) Source: https://www.nchpad.org/223/1943/Aquatic~Therapy2 Aquatic Therapy The Standards and Steering Committees of the Aquatic Therapy and Rehabilitation Industry Certification define aquatic therapy and rehabilitation as: "The use of water and specifically designed activity by qualified personnel to aid in the restoration, extension, maintenance and quality of function for persons with acute, transient, or chronic disabilities, syndromes or diseases." Definition of Hydrotherapy Hydrotherapy is the use of water by external applications, either for its pressure effect or as a means of applying physical energy to a tissue. The term often refers to the use of water in wound management, such as whirlpool baths, but can be used interchangeably with the term, "aquatic therapy". Definition of Adapted Aquatics Adapted aquatics are techniques that emphasize swimming skills modified or adapted to accommodate individual abilities. Usually used with people with disabilities, adapted aquatics focuses on skills including pool entry and exit and swimming skill development. It should also encompass community referral.

The authors acknowledge differences in phi- losophies of both WST and TPP, and propose that the Halliwick Concept can serve as a key organizing frame- work within any aquatic program that, depending on its therapeutic, educational or recreational goals, can im- pact the entire scope of adapted water activities. The article discusses common Halliwick Concept principles through which aquatic personnel could collaborate in the future using a common philosophy and terminology to achieve mutual goals.

The sample consisted of seven children (4 boys and 3 girls) with spastic cerebral palsy and an average age of 9y 5mo ± 1y 3 mo. The swimming program lasted 6 weeks, with two swimming sessions per week. Each session lasted 45 minutes. The swimming program included the application of the Halliwick Method and swimming exercises which are used in a healthy population. The GMFM test was used for the assessment of gross motor functions. The WOTA2 test was applied to assess mental adjustment and swimming skills. The Wilcoxon matched pairs test was used to determine the statistically significant differences between the initial and final measuring. The results have indicated that there was statistically significant differences in the E dimension (p=0.04) and the total score T (p=0.03) of the GMFM test, then for mental adjustment to the aquatic environment WMA (p=0.02), ability to move in water and 1 E- mail: [email protected] 51 Specijalna edukacija i rehabilitacija (Beograd), Vol.

Neurological disorders (Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson disease) significantly affect the functional status and activities of daily living of patients. Different physiotherapy techniques (Bimanual therapy, Constraint induced movement therapy, Bobath or Motor Relearning Programme, task specific therapy, non-task exploration therapy) are applied in neuro-rehabilitation to improve patients’ functioning. Aquatic therapy has been used to treat different diseases from the antique era. The aquatic environment has unique properties, such as buoyancy, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure and resistance that can be used to gain a range of exercise benefits. Buoyancy reduces body weight and helps people who have difficulties to move on land. Turbulent water can provide an environment for static and dynamic balance training with minimal risk of injury. Resistance is important for strength training in water. Aquatic therapy is applied widely

  • Abstract the Current Profile of Aquatic Rehabilitation, Fitness, And
    Abstract The Current Profile of Aquatic Rehabilitation, Fitness, and Training Practitioners By Joan M. Langella March 3, 2010 Chair: Dr. Thomas Skalko Major Department: Recreation and Leisure Studies Aquatic rehabilitation, fitness, and training practitioners are perceived as competent, knowledgeable, certified specialists who use a comprehensive therapeutic approach in combination with aquatic techniques to aid in the rehabilitation of various conditions. These specialists, however, have diverse educational backgrounds that include content in movement, knowledge of chronic and acute disabling conditions, diseases, and aquatic techniques. In the past two decades, aquatic therapy has become a diverse multidisciplinary field. Each aquatic practitioner’s role is individually defined, and each individual may hold a different job description, work with different populations, and possess different preparation and training. A growing body of literature tends to support the efficacy and benefits of aquatic rehabilitation, fitness, and training in general, yet within the aquatic field it remains unclear who actually provides these aquatic rehabilitation, fitness, and training services (Norton & Jamison, 2000). The purpose of this study was to examine aquatic practitioners currently providing aquatic rehabilitation, fitness, and training services from two of the leading aquatic organizations, Aquatic Resource Network (ARN) and Aquatic Therapy & Rehab Institute (ATRI). The study was designed to help identify and describe the individuals providing aquatic rehabilitation, fitness, and training services. Five research questions were posed to examine relationships between the professional profile of respondents of the two aquatic organizations and the types of credentialing, settings, and population groups, and services provided. A descriptive questionnaire consisting of 26 questions was designed and is divided into three sections: (a) demographic, (b) facility, and (c) aquatic therapy continuing professional development information.
