Study Notes
Buoyancy and Its Clinical Applications in Hydrotherapy
- Buoyancy depends on the specific gravity of an object compared to that of water
- Clinical applications of buoyancy include weight relief in hydrotherapy pool, with different levels providing different relief percentages
- Buoyancy can relieve pain due to weight bearing and joint stress in hydrotherapy
- The relationship between density and buoyancy is dependent on the density of the liquid
- The center of buoyancy in the human body is located in the chest region
- Progression in muscle power in hydrotherapy can be achieved through positioning and alteration of the shape of limbs
- The amount of air in the lungs affects the density of the human body and its ability to float or sink
- Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted on an immersed body by the surrounding water
- Hydrostatic pressure varies with patient positioning and can assist patients with lower limb edema
- Viscosity in water creates resistance to the motion of the body, which is useful for strengthening
- Turbulence in water decreases the resistance of the water to movement, making it easier for patients
- Moment of force (torque) is the turning effect of a force about any point and is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance between the line of action of that force and the fulcrum
