Indications/ Hydromechanics/ Properties of water | Water Temperature Guidlines | Goals, Benefits, and Indications | Physiological Effects of Water | Precautions and Contraindications |
---|---|---|---|---|
What property of water refers to a fluid's ability to store heat?
Specific heat
|
What is the appropriate temperature for acute inflammation of distal extremities?
32-79 degrees F
|
What is analgesia and circulatory stimulation an indication of?
Hydrotherapy
|
What physiological effects of water increase sodium and potassium excretion?
Renal
|
Is bowel or bladder incontinence a precaution or contraindication of aquatic therapy?
Contraindication
|
Pressure exerted on a object immersed water is known as?
Hydrostatic Pressure
|
What is the appropriate temperature for therapeutic exercise?
79-92 degrees F
|
What type of therapy improves respiratory function?
Aquatic Therapy
|
True or False: Respiratory- oxygen uptake is higher, decreasing the work of breathing by 60%.
False: uptake is lower increasing the work of breathing by 60%.
|
Is open wounds and skin rashes a precaution for aquatic therapy or hydrotherapy?
Aquatic
|
Which of the following is NOT a hydromechanics of water? Drag, Viscosity and Resistance, Laminar Flow, or Frontal Resistance.
Viscosity and Resistance- this is a property of water when resistance occurs.
|
What is the appropriate temperature for wound care, spasticity?
92-96 degrees F
|
What is reduce edema and increase ROM an indication of?
Aquatic Therapy
|
What is one aspect of the physiological effect of water due to the cardiovascular system?
- Increase cardiac output
- Increase HR and cause vasodilation |
Which of the following are NOT precautions for hydrotherapy-whirlpool? Malignancies, reduce edema, fever, or sensory impairment.
Reduce Edema- this is a contraindication. Acute inflammation is a precaution.
|
The weight of a particular object compared with the weight of an equal volume of water is known as what?
Specificity of Gravity
|
What is the appropriate temperature to treat burns and cardiopulmonary compromise?
96-98 degrees F
|
What are three benefits of aquatic therapy?
Promote muscular relaxation, reduce pain, reduce gravitational force, efficient circulation, improve body awareness, improve respiratory function, increase ROM, decrease muscle spasms, and increase strength in a gentle way.
|
True or False: Neurologically the body relaxes in warm water and stimulates in cold water.
True
|
Can you continue aquatic therapy when a patient has a catheter inserted?
Yes, only a precaution.
|
What property of water is similar to the center of gravity located at the chest region?
Center of Buoyancy (COB)
|
What is the appropriate temperature to control pain? What is the appropriate temperature to treat RA, OA, and increase ROM?
99-104 degrees F to control pain and 104-110 degrees F for RA, OA, and increase ROM.
|
True or False: Exercise of the patient should progress from buoyancy supported to buoyancy assisted to buoyancy resisted.
False: exercise should progress from buoyancy assisted to buoyancy supported to buoyancy resisted.
|
What happens to the oxygen delivery to the muscles, during a muscular physiological effect?
Oxygen delivery to the muscles increases.
|
Which of the following is a contraindication for hydrotherapy-whirlpool? Skin Graft, uncontrolled epilepsy, IV line at the site of treatment, or all of the above.
All of the above
