    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. Indications for Aquatic Therapy Disorders Limited Range of Motion Weakness Poor Motor Coordination Pain Spasticity Perceptual / Spatial Problems Balance Deficits Respiratory Problems Circulatory Problems Depression/Poor Self-Esteem Cardiac Diseases Joint Replacement Motor Learning Orthopedic Injuries / Trauma Obesity Prenatal Neurological (MS) Osteoporosis Rheumatology (Arthritis / Fibromyalgia) Aquatic Therapy Techniques Ai Chi Created by Jun Konno of Japan, Ai Chi is a combination of deep breathing and slow broad movements of the arms, legs, and torso, using concepts of T'ai Chi, Shiatsu, and Qigong. Ai Chi is performed standing in shoulder-depth water with an ideal pool temperature of 88F to 96F.

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.

  • 19-1 a Pioneer in Development of Aquatic Therapy in Taiwan-Cheng
    J Jpn Soc Balneol Climatol Phys Med (2014) 77 (5) 561 Section19 [ Aquatic therapy ] 19-1 A pioneer in development of aquatic therapy in Taiwan – Cheng Hsin General Hospital Julie Ishan TZENG1), Pei-Hsin KU2) 1) Department of Rehabilitation, Cheng Hsin General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan 2) Department of Physical Therapy and Assistive Technology, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan Original missions: Aquatic therapy in Cheng Hsin General Hospital was founded specifically for patients with poliomyelitis in 1960s. At that time, Taiwan was shrouded in darkness due to the outbreak of polio. Many children were paralyzed overnight and thousands of families broke down. Desperate as they were, they had caught a glimmer of hope when the First Lady, Madam Chiang, decided to run a national shelter for children with polio. Cheng Hsin Children’s Home was built and involved in educational and medical systems to provide full time care for free. Aquatic therapy was also included at that time. Following Missions: After poliomyelitis being eradicated in Taiwan in 1983, our team was dedicated in aquatic rehabilitation for people with all kinds of disabilities. Since Taiwan National Health Insurance System being established in 1995, the population receiving rehabilitation kept on rising. As a pioneer in the field of aquatic therapy, we delivered our experience to assist in construction of aquatic rehabilitation nationwide. Learning from the numerous cases, we have accumulated much experience, especially neurological deficits. Thus, physical therapists in Cheng Hsin General Hospital have designed some treatment guidelines for neurological patients. These guidelines, though not standardized, provide therapists various aspects to evaluate clinical problems and to design programs (See Table).

I’ve been keen to take part in the course for years. It is the most structured, well-organized, and clinically practical program in aquatic therapy. We’ve built up thorough concepts of aquatic therapy in theory and practice. The intensive course focused on physiological mechanisms, systematic analysis, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based application. Pool sessions provided the extensive opportunities to ensure our execution of techniques were adequate and corresponding with proper reasoning results. In the final day, we needed to integrate all approaches and practice with the patients, which brought the course to a perfect closure.
