buoyancy

upward F that works opposite to grav

90, 10

buoyancy: when pt stand in pool w/ water lvl at C7, pt is unloading ___% of body wt and ___% WBing

64, 33

buoyancy: when pt stand in pool w/ water lvl at sternum, pt is unloading ___% of body wt and ___% WBing

50, 50

buoyancy: when pt stand in pool w/ water lvl at ASIS, pt is unloading ___% of body wt and ___% WBing

hydrostatic pressure

pressure exerted by water on immersed objects

hydrostatic pressure

helps reduce swelling and assists in venous return

hydrostatic pressure

induces bradycardia

hydrostatic pressure

centralize peripheral blood flow

viscosity

friction occurring btwn molecules of liquid resulting in resistance to flow

movement velocity and surface area

increase ___ and ___ to increase resistance

surface tension

resistive Fs of ___ can be increased proportionally to the object being moved thru the water

drag

increasing the speed of movement w/ a glove, paddle, or boot causes ___ to increase which increases resistance

center of buoyancy

ex: w/ lymphedema, affected limb will be heavier and sink, so if in supine, pt will need a flotation device under limb to avoid over roting towards affected limb

82-88

temp regulation for MS pts

88-92

temp regulation for less active pts/women

88-92

temp regulation for arthritis

aerobic conditioning

when performing ___ in pool, a cooler env is recommended to avoid overheating
