    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.

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.
