Term
An upward force that works opposite of gravity
Definition
Buoyancy
Term
what is the significance of buoyancy? (3)
Definition
relative weightlessness
joint unloading
three dimensional access to pt
Term
What percentage of the weight is the pt bearing if immersed at C7 ?
Definition
10 %
Term
What percent of weight is the pt bearing if immersed at the xiphoid process ?
Definition
33%
Term
What percentage of weight is the pt bearing if immersed at eh ASIS?
Definition
50%
Term
Pressure exerted on immersed objects
Definition
Hydrostatic pressure
Term
What is the property of hydrostatic pressure ?
Definition
pressure exerted by a fluid on an immersed object is equal on all surfaces of the object
Term
As of water and of immersion increases so does the hydrostatic pressure?
Definition
density
depth
Term
What is the significance of increased hydrostatic pressure? (2)
Definition
improve venous return
centralize blood floor
Term
Friction between molecules of liquid resulting in resistance to flow
Definition
Viscosity
Term
What is the property of viscosity?
Definition
resistance is proportional to the velocity of movement through liquid
Term
What is the significance of viscosity? (2)
Definition
creates resistance
shorter level arms results on increased resistance
Term
a membrane under tension and measured in force per unit length
Definition
Surface tension
Term
What are the properties of surface tension? (2)
Definition
Attraction of surface molecules in parallel to surface
force changes proportionally to size of the object moving through the surface
Term
What is the significance of surface tension? (2)
Definition
extremity that moves through surface performs more work than if kept under water
equipment at surface increases resistance
Term
Comprise the physical properties and characteristics of fluid in motion
Definition
hydromechanics
Term
What are the components of flow motion? (3)
Definition
Laminar Flow
Turbulent Flow
Drag
Term
molecules move parallel to each other
Definition
Laminar Flow
Term
molecules do not move parallel to each other
Definition
Turbulent
Term
A component of flow motion that has cumulative effects of turbulence and fluid viscosity acting on an object
Definition
A drag
Term
What is the significance of hydromechanics? (2)
Definition
moving water past pt requires pt to work harder
equipment can influence drag
Term
he amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree C
Definition
Specific Heat
Term
What are the properties of specific heat?
Definition
rate of temp change is dependent on mass and specific heat of object
Term
What is the significance of specific heat? (2)
Definition
water retains heat 1000 times more than air
temp equilibrium occurs with little change to water temp
Term
the reference point of an immersed object on which buoyant forces of fluid act
Definition
Center of Buoyancy
Term
What is the property of the center of buoyancy
Definition
vertical forces that do not intersect the COB create rotational motion
Term
What is the significance of Center of Buoyancy? (2)
Definition
vertical position COB located at sternum
posterior buoyancy causes pt to lean forward
Term
Water conducts temp times faster than air
Definition
25
Term
How does dissipation of heat react to being immersed in water?
Definition
Less skin is exposed and less opportunity to dissipate heat
Term
What temperature is it difficult to maintain core temp?
Definition
25 C
Term
What temperature may be harmful?
Definition
37 C
Term
What temperature may be harmful?
Definition
37 C

Definition
26 to 33 C
Term
What water temperature is beneficial for acute injuries?
Definition
33C
Term
What water temperatures are used to maximize exercise efficiency?
Definition
26 to 28 C
Term
What water temperatures are used to maximize exercise efficiency?
Definition
26 to 28 C
Term
