- Tissue decompression relieves pressure from the free nerve endings in the tissues that are responsible for nociception (pain), so it can immediately reduce perceived pain. - The decompression action of the tape allows for better circulation to and from the area taped, reducing swelling at the site of an injury, which likely contributes to the performance and recovery effects

Tissue decompression with kinesiotaping

True

True or False (aquatic therapy and HR): The greater the immersion, the greater the decrease in HR

- Registers the orientation and movement of the head: Semicircular canals (fluid-filled canals), Otoliths (contains crystals), Each of these change/move in response to head motion or position bending cilia that send a neural stimulus. - Response: > Eye movement- vestibulo-ocular reflex: maintain a stable point of visual fixation during head movement, equivalent eye movement in opposite direction > Postural movement via spinal cord- vestibulo-spinal reflex: Postural stability and balance/postural equilibrium

Vestibular environmental factors of balance/postural equilibrium

- Friction occurring between molecules of liquid resulting in resistance to flow - Water provides resistance to a limb moving in the water - Resistance is in the opposite direction - Resistance is 12 X's the resistance of air

Viscosity and hydrotherapy

- Measures the perception of the orientation of the head/eyes and self-motion to the environment - Gives feedback to the other systems about what is happening in the environment (focal vision and peripheral vision)

Visual environmental factors of balance/postural equilibrium

- Tension 0-50%, anchors and ends measure 1/2 - 1 block - Tension above 50%, anchors and end measure 1/3 the length of the tape

What is the rule of thirds in regards to K-tape?

1. Contractile component (CC): - Concentric contract = energy in SEC augments CC (contraction) 2. Parallel elastic component (PEC): - Passive force w/ unstimulated muscle stretch 3. Series Elastic Component (SEC): - Pre stretch = stores elastic energy in SEC

3 components of plyometrics (mechanical characteristics)

- Tension in the muscle develops and physical shortening of the muscle occurs as an external force (resistance) is overcome - Concentric contractions accelerate body segments

- Greater damage to muscle and connective tissue with eccentric exercise than concentric exercises (greater force production --> greater stress on muscle/tendon) - Onset 24-48 hours - Lasts 3-4 days - Repeated-bout effect - Progress gradually with eccentric exercise

Characteristics and effects of dynamic resistance exercise: Exercise induced muscle soreness (DOMS)

- Pulley rope is set perpendicular to the lever arm: > Concentric contraction: 20% past resting position (lengthened range of the muscle group) > Eccentric contraction: 30% past resting position (shortened range of the muscle group) - Axis/fulcrum or patient position can be altered to emphasize concentric or eccentric bias strengthening exercise - Ideal for most muscle grades - More versatile than free weights

Clinical application of pulleys with dynamic resistance training

- Minimal changes in distance can alter level of tension in the band or tube - Not consistent with length tension curve of the muscle - Matches length tension curve until the band is perpendicular to the lever arm - Beyond perpendicular towards the end of range, the band resistance continues to increase - To allow for full ROM, lighter load training

Clinical application of therabands/tubing for dynamic resistance exercise

- Patients with more muscle mass have a higher relative density and are more likely to sink - Patients with a high fat mass will have a lower relative density and are more likely to float - Relative density/specific gravity

Clinical applications of buoyancy in hydrotherapy

- As the speed of movement increases through the water, resistance to motion increases - Moving water past the patient requires the patient to work harder to maintain position - The PT can produce water movement towards the patient increases resistance (stirring water around the patient limb) - Clinical considerations: protecting limb/joint after injury/surgery. I.e: ACL or ACL acute injury do NOT increase drag

Clinical significance of DRAG in hydrotherapy

- Helps to reduce edema; aids in lymphatic circulation and venous circulation - Decreases cardiac demand and output - Centralizes peripheral blood flow

Clinical significance of hydrostatic pressure in hydrotherapy

- In warm water, heat is transferred to the patient more rapidly and with more energy - Conversely, in cool or cold water, heat is transferred from the patient to the water more rapidly and with more energy lost

Clinical significance of hydrotherapy

- Can be used to strengthen muscles - Water's viscosity creates resistance with all active movements. - Increasing the speed of movement increases the resistance - Increasing the surface area moving through water increases resistance

Clinical significance of viscosity in hydrotherapy

- Unstable angina and cardiac failure - Respiratory insufficiency (vital capacity < 1 L) - Severe PVD - Severe kidney disease - Incontinence bladder and bowel - Open wounds without occlusive dressing usage (colostomy and contagious skin infection) - Water and airborne infections - Active infections (fever) - Uncontrolled seizures - Allergic to chemicals in pools

Eccentric activity during the gait cycle

- Muscle lengthens under tension as the muscle attempts to control the load - Eccentric contractions decelerate body segments and act as a source of shock absorption during high impact activities

Eccentric contractions for dynamic resistance exercise

- Acute: Eccentric exercise NOT recommended. Isometrics are ideal - Sub acute: Sub max, slow speeds. Concentric contractions are better - Settled/chronic: Progress to max load, fast speeds - Save isokinetics eccentrics for final stage of rehab - Balance of joint play, flexibility, and strength

- Muscular fatigue worsens or impairs joint position sense - May also affect NM control of joint (I.e: EMG studies)

Fatigue with balance and posture

- Muscles around joints must first stretch, then contract to produce explosive movement - Plyometrics enhances specificity of training - UE and LE training principles are the same but UE intensity = less due to smaller musculature and type of muscle function

General principles of plyometrics

- Monitor vitals - Seated if concerns of LOB

Geriatric age related recommendations with resistance training

- Specific purpose: Facilitate functional recovery by providing an environment that augments a patient's and/or practitioner's ability to perform various therapeutic interventions - The buoyancy, support, and accommodating resistance of aquatic environments enhance exercise and functional training for patients/clients across the age span with MSK, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary diseases, disorders, or conditions

Goals and indications for aquatic therapy

- Decrease the amount of time required between the yielding eccentric muscle contraction and the initiation of the overcoming concentric contraction - Amortization phase - Stretch shorten cycle: mechanical characteristics and neurophysiologic characteristics

Goals of plyometric training

- Ankle is the most frequently injured - Injury to lateral ligaments of ankle= damage to joint proprioceptors because joint receptors fibers have less tensile strength then ligament fibers - Result= joint deafferentation = decreased input to afferent pathways = decreased proprioception = reinjury

How can an injury/surgery to the ankle affect one's balance?

K-Tape basic cuts

- The cable system is adjustable. Manipulation of the pivot point or axel - Imposes varying levels or resistance to contracting muscles to load muscles more efficiently at multiple points in the ROM based on length tension curve

Length tension concepts: adjustable cable system with dynamic resistance training

Weight-bearing percentages: - Water level at C7, patient is 10% WB - Water level to sternum (nipple line), patient is 33% WB - Water level to ASIS, patient is 50% WB

Percentage of body weight off-loaded with increasing immersion depth

- Decrease in BP - Increase in HR - Increase in CO - Increase in muscle metabolism

Physiological changes during warm water exercises

- Bradycardia during immersion (rest or exercise) for temperature equal or lower then 32 degrees C (89.6 degrees F) - gravity: blood flows from below the heart back up to it with less effort - Compression (hydrostatic pressure): Pressure water exerts on the body assists in venous load to the heart - Greater the immersion, the greater the decrease in HR - Identify the HR max in the water environment and determine bradycardia at rest in position, depth, and temp.

Physiological changes in HR during aquatic therapy

- Increased superficial local circulation - Increased metabolism - Increased temperature - Increased tissue extensibility - Decreased pain

Physiological effects of superficial heat

- Cardiovascular response - Training effect

Physiological response to deep-water walking/running

- External: > Increase external load= increased demand - Intensity: > Double leg-single leg > Increase load > Raise height of box/step - Volume: > Total amount of work done in a workout session > plyometrics = measure foot contacts > start low intensity (75-100 foot contacts) progress to low-mod intensity with 200-250 foot contacts

Plyometric program design Intensity vs external loads vs volume

- Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Cleaning and pH levels tests - Walking surfaces - Safety rules and regulations - Life preservers and CPR

Pool care and safety

- Same 3 sensory inputs: Visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive. - COG, BOS, alignment, trunk muscle recruitment, and hips

Posture requires input from

- Close supervision - Proper instructions and form - Appropriate modifications of progression and intensity

Pre-pubescent age related recommendations with resistance training

- Precautions: Valsalva maneuver - Contraindications: Cardiac disease and vascular disorders

Precautions and contraindications of isometric exercises for dynamic resistance training

- Diabetes - Kidney disease - CHF - Asthma - High or low BP - Primary lymphoedema - Swelling of internal organs - Open wounds - Pregnancy

Precautions for kinesiotaping

- Fear of water - Confusion/disorientation - Neurological disorders (ataxia, heat intolerance- MS, controlled epilepsy) - Respiratory disorders - Cardiac dysfunction (angina, abnormal BP, heart disease) - Small open wounds and tracheostomies
