Aquatic exercise
Aquatic exercise, also known as hydrotherapy, involves exercising in water and can provide benefits for rehabilitation. It allows for range of motion exercises, strengthening, balance training, and cardiovascular exercise while minimizing stress on joints. Several studies have shown aquatic exercise to be as effective as land-based exercise for improving aerobic fitness and body composition in overweight individuals. It may also help reduce pain for those with knee osteoarthritis. Muscle activity is generally lower in the legs during aquatic exercise compared to land-based exercise due to buoyancy effects. Water-based exercise has also shown benefits for people with COPD and asthma, improving exercise capacity more than land-based exercise for those with comorbidities. However, more research is still

Equipment and Exercise in Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic exercises can be performed in water between 26-33°C for flexibility, strengthening, gait training, and relaxation. Therapeutic exercises in 33°C water may benefit patients with painful musculoskeletal injuries due to relaxation, elevated pain threshold, and decreased muscle spasm. Cardiovascular training should occur between 26-28°C for increased exercise efficiency, stroke volume, and decreased heart rate, while intense aerobic training over 80% maximum heart rate requires cooler 22-26°C water to minimize heat illness risk. Aquatic equipment provides buoyancy, challenges balance, and generates resistance to movement intensity.

Changes in Body Position during a 2-Minute Push-Up Test by Jennifer K Hewit*, Daniel A Jaffe and Alex J Bedard
In Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine: Crimson Publishers_ Journal of Sports Medicine
Push-ups are a common exercise for individuals of all ages and abilities. Ensuring that the body maintains optimal positioning is crucial throughout any activity. This brief study investigates the changes in hand height and torso angle throughout a 2-minute push-up test. A total of 26 males (23.3±6.9 years old) participated in this study. Video was collected of the entire 2-minute push-up bout. Of interest to the researchers was the distance the hand was in relation to the shoulder and the angle of the torso to the horizontal (both measure from participants' sagittal view). Three consecutive repetitions at the start and end of the bout were used for comparative analysis. Both hand placement in relation to the shoulder and torso angle decreased significantly (p=0.00) from the start of the bout to the end. These results indicate that as participants became tired, they assumed a body position that likely allowed for a greater portion of their body weight to be supported by their lower body. While this adjustment allowed them to continue the exercise, compensational patterns like this should be identified and addressed in training in order to strengthen the primary muscles targeted by the exercise.

Major Project final draft
- The document discusses a study that examined the effects of a 2-hour cycling exercise protocol on right ventricular structure and function in competitive cyclists.
- 6 cyclists underwent cardiac assessments before, during, immediately after, and during recovery from the exercise using echocardiography to measure 13 cardiac parameters.
- Significant differences were seen pre- and post-exercise for right ventricular fractional area change, right atrial area, and S', indicating symptoms of exercise-induced cardiac fatigue.
BYU-IDAHO research study
The study investigated the impact of squat depth during resistance training on vertical jump performance. Sixteen subjects were randomly assigned to perform either a half-squat (HS) or full-squat (FS) for six weeks. Both groups saw improvements in vertical jump height after training, with the HS group improving by 0.83 inches on average and the FS group by 1.00 inch, but the differences between groups were not statistically significant. The study concluded that squat depth does not have a significant effect on vertical jump performance.
Occupational Therapy - Aquatic Therapy Fitness Training
Aquatic therapy and exercise involve purposeful therapeutic movements and exercises performed in water. It can benefit those with pain, arthritis, or limited mobility by providing support, resistance, and reduced impact on joints due to buoyancy. Aquatic therapy is well-suited for osteoarthritis patients, as the warm water eases movement and reduces swelling and pain while still building strength, flexibility, and endurance through varied exercises. The level of exertion from different aquatic exercises depends on factors like water depth, speed, and type of activity.

Hydrodynamics and Aquatic Therapy
The document discusses the unique properties of water and their physiological implications for aquatic therapy. It describes how buoyancy provides weightlessness and joint unloading, allowing for easier movement. Hydrostatic pressure from water acts equally on all surfaces and increases with depth, assisting venous return. Viscosity creates resistance proportional to speed of movement. These properties allow aquatic therapy to be a beneficial exercise medium.
Aquatic therapy capstone
The document discusses the benefits of aquatic physical therapy (PT) for patients with low back pain. It notes that aquatic PT decreases load on the spine, decreases pain, and increases blood flow and circulation. Some key benefits include buoyancy, viscosity, and hydrostatic pressure. Example beginner, intermediate, and advanced aquatic PT exercise routines are provided. Most patients experienced relief from their low back pain with aquatic PT. Research shows that aquatic PT performed 2-3 times per week can decrease back pain and disability while improving quality of life for patients with chronic low back pain.
Cooper 12 minutes run walk test
This document discusses various field tests that can be used to assess cardio-vascular fitness and aerobic capacity. It describes the 12-minute run/walk test developed by Cooper in 1968 to allow individuals to run or walk during the test according to their abilities. Several other tests are mentioned including 1-mile runs, 1.5-mile runs, and longer distance tests. The document reviews various studies that evaluated the concurrent validity of these tests compared to other measures of cardio-respiratory fitness for different age groups. Reported validity coefficients ranged from 0.60 to 0.96 depending on the specific test and age group evaluated. The test distances and time durations discussed can be modified according to the age, fitness level, and goals of

The document summarizes two articles about patellofemoral joint kinetics during lunges and squats. The first article found that joint force and stress increased with a short-step lunge and when flexing the knee more during the descent, and decreased when extending the knee during the ascent. The second article found that joint force and stress were largest at 90 degrees of knee flexion during squats, and increased with greater external resistance. Both articles concluded that terminal knee flexion angles and external resistance should be considered to reduce joint stress.

This study examined the effects of aerobic fitness and sex on blood pressure responses to small muscle (knee extension) and large muscle (treadmill) exercise in older adults. The main findings were:
1) Blood pressure increased more during small muscle exercise compared to large muscle exercise for both men and women, regardless of fitness level.
2) Aerobic fitness attenuated the rise in blood pressure during small muscle exercise in older men but not women.
3) Aerobic fitness did not influence blood pressure responses to large muscle exercise for either sex.
This suggests that small muscle exercise elicits a greater blood pressure response than large muscle exercise in older adults, and fitness may help reduce this response in

The document summarizes a study that examined the effects of endurance, resistance, and concurrent (endurance and resistance) training on cardiac structure in female students. The study found that 8 weeks of concurrent training significantly increased left ventricular end diastolic diameter compared to endurance or resistance training alone. Concurrent training also significantly increased left ventricular end systolic diameter, mass, and mass index. No other measured variables showed significant differences between groups. The results indicate that concurrent training may have a greater impact on cardiac adaptations than single-mode endurance or resistance training.

1) The study examined electromyographic activity of the thigh muscles during single-leg squats and step-ups in 18 healthy subjects.
2) It found that both exercises produced high levels of quadriceps activation, reaching over 200% of maximum voluntary contraction.
3) Single-leg squats and step-ups were concluded to be effective rehabilitation exercises that could be performed without weights or equipment and may help protect the anterior cruciate ligament graft during recovery.
Femoral Acetabular Labral Tear Rehabilitation
1. Femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) occurs when the femoral head and neck abut the acetabular rim, causing labral and cartilage damage. It is a common cause of hip pain in young, active individuals.
2. There are two main types of FAI - cam impingement, caused by an aspherical femoral head-neck junction, and pincer impingement, caused by overcoverage of the acetabulum. Mixed impingements also occur.
3. Symptoms include insidious groin pain made worse by flexion and internal rotation movements. Physical exam may reveal reduced hip range of motion and weakness. Diagnosis involves clinical exam and imaging studies to
Hip and spine syndrome (PMR)
This document discusses hip-spine syndrome, which describes patients with coexisting osteoarthritis of the hip and degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. Determining whether lower extremity pain originates from the hip or spine can be challenging. A hip injection with bupivicaine can help differentiate the source of pain. Treatment of the spine does not typically alleviate hip arthritis pain and vice versa. Femoroacetabular impingement, a cause of early hip osteoarthritis, involves abnormal contact between the femoral head-neck junction and acetabulum. History, physical exam, radiographs, and MRI can help diagnose impingement and determine whether it is cam, pincer, or mixed-type. Treatment involves activity modification, medications,

Hydrotherapy uses water to facilitate therapeutic exercises and rehabilitation. It has benefits for musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions. The buoyancy of water allows for movement and exercise with reduced weight bearing. Goals of hydrotherapy include improving range of motion, strengthening, balance, and cardiovascular fitness. Properties of water like viscosity, pressure, and temperature can be manipulated during exercises. Contraindications include infections and open wounds. Various equipment like belts, bars, and floats are used to assist with exercises in the water.
Recovering from Achilles Tendon Repair in an Outpatient Rehab Facility
This case study describes a patient's 14-week progression through physical therapy following an Achilles tendon repair. Treatment included manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, modalities, and a home exercise program. The patient showed improvements in pain, range of motion, strength, and function. While deficits remained compared to the uninjured side, the patient was able to return to activities like golf and continue therapy to further improve walking on uneven surfaces and inclines. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization was used throughout to help break up scar tissue and adhesions from the injury and repair.
Aquatic therapy capstone
The document discusses the benefits of aquatic physical therapy (PT) for patients with low back pain. It notes that aquatic PT decreases load on the spine, decreases pain, and increases blood flow and circulation. Some key benefits include buoyancy, viscosity, and hydrostatic pressure. Example beginner, intermediate, and advanced aquatic PT exercise routines are provided. Most patients experienced relief from their low back pain with aquatic PT. Research shows that aquatic PT performed 2-3 times per week can decrease back pain and disability while improving quality of life for patients with chronic low back pain.

Phase I involves inpatient rehabilitation with a focus on patient education, counseling, and low-intensity exercises like range of motion, ankle exercises, and walking. Exercises are progressed over time in terms of intensity, duration, and type to prepare patients for discharge and continued rehabilitation in an outpatient setting. Factors like heart rate, blood pressure, symptoms, and perceived exertion are monitored during sessions to ensure safety.
Geriatric Physiotherapy Management
This document discusses geriatric management at both the individual and community level. At the individual level, management includes acute care, functional restoration, and prevention. Acute care focuses on education, pain relief, and healing. Functional restoration maintains and improves range of motion, strength, flexibility, and balance. Prevention maintains previous exercises and identifies risk factors. At the community level, a multidisciplinary team provides primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. This includes health promotion, early diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation. The document also outlines exercise recommendations for older adults, including aerobic, strength, flexibility, endurance, and neuromotor exercises.
ROLE_OF_PHYSIOTHERAPIC.pptx
Physiotherapy uses various equipment to treat injuries, disorders, and improve mobility and fitness. Equipment like treadmills, elliptical machines, and resistance bands help strengthen muscles and bones. Other tools like hot/cold therapy devices, mobility bars, and balance balls aid recovery from injuries by relaxing muscles, improving coordination, and keeping the spine aligned. Regular physiotherapy can increase endurance and strength, boosting performance for activities like physical training courses. It is an effective way to enhance trainee interest and incorporate technology into training.

Physical activity in people with disabilities and elderly people
This document discusses physical activity for disabled and elderly people. It defines physical activity and exercise, and explains the health benefits of physical activity, including reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and hip fractures. It recommends that physical activity programs for the elderly and disabled include aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility training, along with guidelines for frequency, duration and intensity. Barriers to physical activity for these groups are addressed, as well as ways to motivate participation through social support, alternative activities, and tracking progress. Environmental and medical factors to consider with exercise programs are also outlined.
Pre & post operative physiotherapy in abdominal surgeries
This document discusses pre-operative and post-operative physiotherapy for abdominal surgeries. Pre-operative physiotherapy includes patient education to reduce anxiety and prepare for recovery, as well as exercises to strengthen the core and lower limbs. Post-operative care involves monitoring vitals, respiratory care, mobilization, and exercises to strengthen muscles at risk from incisions. A rehabilitation program progresses from isometric exercises to strengthening, cardio, and sports-specific exercises over 3-4 weeks. Respiratory physiotherapy techniques help clear secretions and improve breathing.
Rehabilitation of ankylosing spondylitis
1. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that affects the axial skeleton, especially the sacroiliac joints and spine, causing back pain and stiffness.
2. Physical therapy aims to alleviate pain, increase mobility and function, reduce stiffness, and improve posture. Treatment includes exercises, stretching, bracing, breathing techniques, hydrotherapy, and group therapy.
3. Group therapy and aquatic physical therapy have been shown to improve thoracolumbar mobility, aerobic fitness, and quality of life for patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Case Study
A 70-year-old female presented with bilateral knee pain diagnosed as osteoarthritis. She received four weeks of physical therapy involving exercises to increase strength and flexibility in the knees and hips. The therapy resulted in decreased pain, improved range of motion and strength. While progress was made, the patient required additional therapy to further improve functional strength.
Rehabilitation after Meniscus Transplant
This document outlines the rehabilitation goals and protocol following meniscal allograft transplantation surgery. The goals are for patients to regain function and mobility, with the long term aim of being fitter, faster and stronger than before surgery. The rehabilitation involves an initial protective phase focusing on reducing pain and swelling, followed by a moderate protective phase adding range of motion and strengthening exercises. Later phases progress to functional exercises and a gradual return to normal activities and sports. Close monitoring during rehabilitation is important to correct any compensatory movement patterns and ensure the best surgical outcomes.
Case Study
This case study follows a 19-year old female soccer player through five months of rehabilitation following an ACL tear. She underwent surgery in May and participated in a post-surgical rehabilitation program over the summer, making progress in regaining range of motion and strength. By late fall, she had returned to strength training and begun plyometrics. At six months post-op, isokinetic testing showed improvement in her quadriceps strength between her injured and uninjured legs. Her long term goal is a full return to sport activities.

Muscle ativaction during four pilates core stability exercises in quadrupede ...Dra. Welker Fisioterapeuta
This document summarizes the results of a study that evaluated muscle activation patterns during four variations of Pilates core stability exercises performed in a quadruped position. The four exercises differed in pelvic and trunk positioning: 1) retroverted pelvis with flexed trunk, 2) anteverted pelvis with extended trunk, 3) neutral pelvis with inclined trunk, and 4) neutral pelvis with parallel trunk. Surface electromyography was used to measure activation of six core muscles during each exercise. The results showed that different pelvic and trunk positions produced varying activation patterns in the multifidus, gluteus maximus, and oblique muscles, but similar rectus abdominis activation.Similar to Aquatic therapy interesting cases (20)
