    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.

  • Effects of a Metronome on Functional Outccomes in Aquatic Therapy
    EFFECTS OF A METRONOME ON FUNCTIONAL OUTCCOMES IN AQUATIC THERAPY VERSION NUMBER: 5 VERSION DATE: 11/14/2018 ID# AultmanRA2018.10.AF NCT number: NCT03801772 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Andrew Daniel Fomich Physical Therapy - Aultman Tusc 330-363-6215 [email protected] PROTOCOL TITLE: Effects of a Metronome on Functional Outcomes in Aquatic Therapy PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Andrew Daniel Fomich Physical Therapy - Aultman Tusc 330-363-6215 [email protected] VERSION NUMBER: 5 VERSION DATE: 11/14/2018 1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND RATIONALE ○ Introduction Physical therapy patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain often lack effort and consistency when performing aquatic exercises. Studies have shown that the use of acoustic stimuli, such as music and the beeps of a metronome, improve performance and efficiency in runners. However, it has not been determined if the use of a metronome can improve the outcomes of patients participating in aquatic physical therapy. ○ Relevant Literature and Data In 2012, one of two adults in the United States were diagnosed with musculoskeletal conditions. In the same year, 25.5 million people lost an average of 11.4 days of work due to back and neck pain. (1) The benefits of aquatic therapy make it well suited for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. These benefits include decreased weight bearing, the thermal and compressive effects of water on the body, and less cardiovascular stress during exercise. (2) In a 2008 study it was demonstrated that the use of acoustic pacing device can improve consistency and performance during and between exercise sessions in an aquatic environment among runners(3) Studies have also shown that an aquatic exercise program can improve strength and function among varied age groups.(4,5) However, what isn’t known is if the use of an acoustic pacing device, such as a metronome, can improve the outcomes of patients in an aquatic therapy program.

  • Efficacy of Ice and Shortwave Diathermy in the Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee – a Preliminary Report
    African Journal of Biomedical Research, Vol. 7 (2004); 107 - 111 ISSN 1119 – 5096 © Ibadan Biomedical Communications Group Available online at http://www.bioline.org.br/md Full Length Research Article EFFICACY OF ICE AND SHORTWAVE DIATHERMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE – A PRELIMINARY REPORT ADEGOKE, B.O.A* AND GBEMINIYI, M.O. Physiotherapy Department, College of Medicine University of Ibadan Nigeria This study was designed to compare the effects of shortwave diathermy (SWD) and ice on pain, range of motion and function in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Subjects were fourteen patients (4 males and 10 females) aged 40-70years diagnosed as having OA of the knee. Subjects were assigned into either the SWD or ice treatment groups, as they became available. All subjects received routine adjunct therapeutic exercises, were excluded from analgesic drugs and were treated thrice weekly during the four -week duration of the study. Subjects were assessed at the beginning and end of the study for pain, range of motion (ROM) and function using visual analog scale, universal goniometer and functional index questionnaire respectively. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics of means and standard deviation and inferential statistics of independent and paired t-tests. Results showed that while the subjects in the SWD group had significantly greater ROM and function than the ice group at the beginning of the study, both groups were not statistically significantly different on all dependent variables at the end of the study. Paired -ttest also indicated that the ice group improved significantly on all three dependent variables while the SWD group improved significantly in pain and ROM only.

We have investigated the effects of Watsu® therapy and Immersion on HRV parameters of obese male subjects. Methods and Results: Volunteer 34 obese subjects with BMI above 30 without any other chronic health issues were included (age, 18.30±.31, height, 166.02±29.60, BMI, 36.54±5.96). Randomized controlled trial was conducted with Watsu and Immersion protocols whereas control group received no therapy in water or on land for 12 weeks. A baseline HRV was recorded 5 minutes in four different circumstances. Polar H7 heart rate sensor and digital standardized HRV signal processing software were used to record the R-R intervals in millisecond.

  • Review the Halliwick Concept: Toward a Collaborative Aquatic

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.
