Outline: Aquatic Therapy

Here's the outline I made for Aquatic Therapy based on Kisner's Therapeutic Exercises:

Aquatic Therapy

Definition

Goals and Indications

Ø Facilitate range of motion (ROM) exercise

Ø Provide three-dimensional access to the patient

Ø Facilitate cardiovascular exercise

Ø Initiate functional activity replication

Ø Minimize risk of injury or reinjury during rehabilitation

Ø Enhance patient relaxation

Precautions

Ø Fear of water

Ø Neurological Disorders

Ø Seizure

Ø Cardiac Dysfunction

Ø Small Wound and Lines

Contraindication

Ø Incipient cardiac failure and unstable angina.

Ø Respiratory dysfunction

Ø Severe peripheral vascular disease.

Ø Danger of bleeding or hemorrhage.

Ø Severe kidney disease

Ø Open wounds, colostomy, and skin infections such as tinea pedis and ringworm.

Ø Uncontrolled bowel or bladder

Ø Water and airborne infections or disease

Ø Uncontrolled seizures
