define buoyancy
an upward force that works against gravity
a person immersed up to C7 is bearing ______% of his weight
10%
a person immersed up to his xiphoid process is bearing _______% of his weight
33%
a person immersed up to his ASIS is bearing__________% of his weight
50%
define hydrostatic pressure
the pressure the water exerts on the immersed body and body parts
define viscosity
the friction that occurs between the molecules of the water resulting in resistance to flow
what is surface tension
the surface of the water acts as a membrane under pressure--the resistance of surface tension is proportional to the size of the object moving through the surface
what is the clinical significance of thermodynamics
water retains heat 1000 times more than air--a patient moving in the water loses body temp faster than an immersed patient at rest
where is the center of buoyancy located
at the sternum
what is biofeedback
a tool to help a patient learn and practice the process of relaxation--give auditory feedback as the patient reduces tension in a muscle or muscle group
what is the main use for EMG biofeedback
women's health---urinary incontinence
define proprioceptive
it is the ability to know what position your joints are in without looking
True or false: In an eccentric contraction, the faster you the motion you are trying to slow down the harder the muscle has to contract
true
true or false: In a concentric contraction the faster the motion the less torque is created
true
Isokinetic exercise provides ____________________ resistance.
accomodating
When the speed of a concentric contraction increases, the tension (increases or decreases)
decreases
DOMS stands for what
delayed onset muscle soreness
True or false: A failure to rise or a decrease in systolic blood pressure is a normal response to exercise.
False
What are the three ingredients of an endurance exercise program
1. warm up period
2. exercise period
3. cool down period
2. exercise period
3. cool down period
In strength training you increase strength by increasing_________________
resistance
muscles contract using light loads for many repetitions or sustain a contraction for an extended period of time--low intensity, high reps, long time-this is an example of _______________training
endurance
According to the overload principle, for muscular performance to improve, the load or muscle tension must________________ the normal functional capabilities
exceed
The SAID principal is what?
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand or specificity of training
the DeLorme PRE program calls for 3 sets of 10 with (progressive/regressive) loading during the set
progressive
The Oxford PRE program calls for 3 sets of 10 reps with (progressive/regressive) loading during each set
regressive
True or False: In DCER (dynamic constant external resistance) exercise the contracting muscle is challenged maximally thru the entire ROM.
False, it is challenged maximally at only one point
If an injury site is red, hot and swollen it is said to be in the _________ phase of healing.
Acute
True or False: The subacute phase of healing will present with little or no inflammation and pain at the end of the available ROM
True
In the ____________ stage of healing your goals are, increase mobility and strength, return to normal function
Chronic
True or False: In the acute stage of healing your goals are, control pain and inflammation and to maintain the ROM
True
True or False: A patient with a hip flexion contracture would be unable to fully extend their hip.
True
