You are visiting one of the oldest Universities in the world, founded in 1425. We are a research intensive University with 16 faculties organized in 3 groups: Humanities & Social Sciences, Biomedical Sciences and Science, Engineering & Technology. Presently we have about 55,000 students in Leuven. In our Faculty we have more than 2400 students in Bachelor, Master and PhD programs. To achieve our mission we rely on more than 100 highly motivated and qualified academic colleagues. Our educational programs are the disseminators of the scientific knowledge generated within the domain of ‘human movement’ and ‘moving humans’. We offer two bachelor programs (Ba in Physical Education and Kinesiology, and Ba in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy) and three master programs (Master of Physical Education and Kinesiology, Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy and an International Master in Adapted Physical Activity). We also have programs in Sports Medicine and Occupational Therapy. During the last few decades our research effort has also experienced strong growth, led by two research departments, each generating a considerable scientific output in highly rated journals. The Faculty of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Sciences at the KU Leuven strongly believes in the benefits of international cooperation. We want to pursue this scientific track, not in the least by attracting students and researchers from abroad to spend varying time in our laboratories. Our faculty is located at the FaBeR-campus, where state-of-the-art sports facilities are embedded in the beautiful green environment of the Arenberg park which you are experiencing. Housing in the park provides the perfect mix for students and scholars from Belgium or abroad to study and live in an open and friendly community atmosphere. We hope you enjoy your stay in Leuven and that this will lead you to new ideas as well as friendships. 7 Welcome from the Organizers, In the name of the organization of AquaLeuven 2015 we want to welcome you to the second European conference on evidence based aquatic therapy. Aquatic therapy and physical activity in water in general are extremely popular and we all think that it is effective and even more effective than other forms of therapy. We are here to examine and test this hypothesis. We have about 140 participants from all parts of the world and as far away as New Zealand. There are 7 keynote speakers, 34 podium presentations, 38 poster presentations as well as workshops and pool demonstrations. These include all aspects of aquatic therapy and physical activity in water covering therapeutic applications in several populations as well as learning to swim and the therapeutic potential of performance and competition swimming. The topics are diverse. We will also examine new topics such as the awareness of aquatic therapy as a potential intervention and this in several settings. We have a full program but we hope there will be sufficient opportunities to interact with old as well as new friends and colleagues. We also want to take the time to thank everyone who helped to make this organization possible. First of all our University and the Faculty of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science has provided us with superb facilities and assistance to organize this conference. EWAC Medical has backed us from the beginning. Without Eric Legdeur and his crew there would be no AquaLeuven. You will see some of this in your congress bag and especially at the pool demo on Saturday. The Science Foundation Flanders has also provided financial support. We want to thank our colleagues at the University of Gent, The Free University of Brussels and the Université catholique de Louvain for their help here. The city of Leuven will offer you the opening reception in our beautiful City Hall. We are especially proud to have the IATF as a partner. They are making an important contribution by sponsoring the congress bags and especially looking to the future by presenting the young investigator award. Their expertise will also be demonstrated on Saturday morning. We want to thank the keynote speakers for taking time from their busy schedules to come to Leuven to share their knowledge with you all. The scientific committee took the time to carefully read all abstracts without personal gain. We particularly want to recognize all participants who will make presentations either podium or poster. The success of a meeting depends a many things but most of all on the quality of the work presented. I really want to acknowledge all participants whoever you may be. We invite you to interact and hope this will be days that you will not forget soon. And finally we are very grateful to Susana Maria Soares Ribeiro from the University of Porto who did the largest part of setting this book. Her experience and hard work we will never forget. 8 Sponsors 9 Committees Scientific committee - Alice Nieuwboer - KU Leuven - Anna Ogonowska-Słodownik - Józef Piłsudski Univ. of Physical Education, Warsaw, Poland - Antonio Cuesta-Vargas - University of Malaga, Spain - Arianne Verhagen - Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, Netherlands - Brendan Burkett - University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia - Christine Van den Broeck - Universiteit Gent - Daniel Daly - KU Leuven - Dieter Van Assche - KU Leuven - Eric Kerkhofs - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - Filip Staes - KU Leuven - Huub Toussaint - Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands - Ingi Þór Einarsson - University of Iceland - Jane Hall - Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, Bath, UK - Javier Gueita - King Juan Carlos University, Madrid, Spain - Jens Bansi - Klinik Valens, Valens, Switzerland - Johan Lambeck - KU Leuven - Laurie Malone - Lakeshore Institute, Birmingham, Alabama, USA - Marc Francaux - Université catholique de Louvain - Marlies DeClerck - University of Edinburgh, UK - Mehmet Yanardag - Anadolu University, Eskisehir, TURKEY - Osnat Fliess-Douer - Wingate Insitute, Netanya, Israel - Ricardo Fernandes - University of Porto, Portugal - Rob de Bie - University of Maastricht, Netherlands - Sophie Heywood -The Melbourne Sports Medicine Centre, Australia - Thierry Trooster - KU Leuven - Tinus Jongert - Dutch Paramedical Institute, Amersfoort, Netherlands - Urs Gamper - Klinik Valens, Valens, Switzerland Organizing committee - Daniel Daly - Chairman: KU Leuven - Christine Van den Broeck - Universiteit Gent - Christophe Delecluse – Dean of the Faculty of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Sciences (FaBeR) , KU Leuven - Eric Kerkhofs - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - Johan Lambeck - Program Advisor: KU Leuven - Marc Francaux - Université catholique de Louvain - Marilyn Guffens - Communications Officer, FaBeR, KU Leuven - Rik Gosselink - Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Sport Policy: KU Leuven - Sofie Claessens - Adminstrative Director, FaBeR, KU Leuven - Stefanie Verbeeck - Conference and Events: KU Leuven 10 Invited speakers Asa Cider Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden Åsa Cider works at the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology/Physiotherapy, The Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

    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.

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.
