Hydrotherapy- modalities Questions With Complete
Solutions
: Neutral warmth: Open wounds; medically compromised
patients with circulatory, sensory, or cardiac disorders temp
Correct Answers 33 to 35.5/92 to 96
adhesion Correct Answers the tendency of water molecules to
adhere to molecules of other substances.
advantages for pool Correct Answers Patient can move freely,
with less risk of falling
Decreases weight bearing on joints (weight bearing in 60 inches
reduces weight bearing on lower extremities by 88-95%)
Buoyancy may assist weak muscles to allow increased
performance of active exercises
advantages of Hubbard tank Correct Answers Can treat large
areas or multiple areas of the body
Can be used for heat transfer, for cleansing and debriding open
wounds, or for water exercise
all joint movements can be performed with or against what
Correct Answers buoyancy
archimedes principle Correct Answers states that the upward
thrust a body experiences is equal to the weight of the water that
is displaced
