Our
pool is equipped with a propulsion adjustable current
generator which provides a block of current specific to the needs
of our patients. The pool also has an in-water bench to allow patients
to rest, and the water temperature is kept warm at 92°F. Water serves
as the perfect tool for balance control training because we move slower
in water and can make more deliberate movements without the risk of
falling and injuring ourselves. This translates into comfort, assistance
with balance while submerged, and a means of safe recovery if balance
is lost. Gait training performed in water allows the patient to extend
their gait length without the risk of fall injury and stress associated
with this activity on land. Water provides the opportunity to move
better and longer, facilitating the initiation of cardiovascular exercises,
muscular development, and a range of motion therapy. Water provides
the unique property of control resistance with speed and submersion
in it allows development of resistance patterns in natural range and
function settings without the stress of gravity. Working in water
helps the therapist and patient to identify inappropriate muscle recruitment,
tension, paradoxical breathing, shallow breathing, and compensatory
movement in response to pain [limping, hunching, etc]. Relaxing and
stretching in warm water enable patients to develop control over pain.
Patients may realize that performing movements in water are less painful.
