Feasibility and acceptability of aquatic exercise therapy in burn patients – A pilot study

Aquatic therapy is a special form of physical therapy performed in a waist- or neck-deep heated pool. It is intended for the rehabilitation of patients who do not respond well to conventional land-based exercise. Water therapy is especially suitable for patients with chronic diseases and injuries, especially muscles and joints, the elderly and even pregnant women. The temperature of the hot water is kept at 30-30℃, and it has a relaxing effect and a good effect on the body. Aqua therapy exercises are easier to perform because they use water resistance instead of traditional weights to reduce stress on your joints. Take advantage of water's natural buoyancy to reduce gravity and make it easier to perform. Suitable for all ages, especially seniors and non-swimmers. Water therapy is also known as water therapy, water rehabilitation, aqua therapy, pool therapy, or hydrotherapy. The Haliwick Method was originally developed to help people with physical disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, learn to swim and become independent in the water. The willingness to lose balance and get back up again is an essential feature. This is an important requirement for group participation in therapeutic or recreational activities. The patient is usually held in the water while the therapist systematically and progressively destabilizes the patient and teaches balance and postural control. Back Hab Aquatic Therapy is an integrated program designed for people with back problems and disabilities. Instead of focusing on healing one part of the body, all parts of the body work together to heal and repair the affected area. Back Hab is an underwater walking program that uses different steps to achieve different benefits. It is excellent for treating various types of gait disorders due to physical problems such as arthritis, tendonitis, leg injuries, and brain problems such as cerebral palsy and stroke. Aquatic Task Type Training Approach (TTTA) – for patients It incorporates a set of guidelines for mitigating failures. TTTA has proposed a set of parameters to optimize the treatment of patients, especially those with stroke and neurological deficits. TTTA is best described as a task-based approach program because of its focus on functional skills. Patients are encouraged to do a variety of tasks that they are not good at. Clients are encouraged to actively participate in skill development, an important aspect of task-based rehabilitation. Simply put, aquatic therapy involves hands-on therapy designed, taught and supervised by a physical therapist who specializes in aquatic therapy, his techniques and specific body movements. Treatment plans are tailored to the patient's specific needs and goals. Train with specific movement sequences using specially developed training equipment and simpler training aids such as balls. Whether you are recovering from an injury or illness and need aquatic rehabilitation services, or are looking to improve your overall fitness and athletic performance, aquatic therapy is ideal. Water provides natural buoyancy to reduce the effects of gravity and relieve stress on joints, but water is 100 times more elastic than air, making water-based exercises highly efficient and effective. Exercise in a warm water environment also provides social interaction, but exercise can also be done alone in your own pool. Experienced physiotherapists will teach, support, and improve quality of life.
