Aquatics

Actualmente hay un boom en el mundo de los cursos de fisioterapia; tanto en México como otros países hispanos empieza a crecer la oferta para seguir formándose después de la universidad, es así como la terapia acuática no se queda atrás. Hoy en día encontramos un mayor número de ofertas educativas en esta área. En esta ocasión tengo el gusto de compartir este episodio con la Lic en fisioterapia y certificada en WST por la IATF Georgina Guerrero, que nos contará su experiencia. ginafisio17@gmail.com

The sensation of pain is communicated through the nervous system and is influenced by many things both physically and psychologically. Moving in water is a good way to improve movement tolerance, utilising buoyancy can assist movement as well as gently resisting the movement. Buoyancy provides the sensation of being lighter and easier to move, less risk of falling, feels supportive, promoting safety messages. Exercise progression is easy through more buoyant floats or utilising drag/turbulence. For more about this topic I have time Oliver Krouwel he is a aquatic physiotherapy specialist and a clinical specialist NHS

Aquatic Physical Therapy (APT) is the practice of therapeutic treatment interventions in the water environment. It is a tool to achieve optimal movement and function in clients using hydrodynamic principles.  Canadian Aquatic Rehab Instructors teaches evidence-based practice techniques founded in physics, fluid mechanics, physiological response, pathology and aquatic therapy research. In this episode I have the pleasure to talk with Alison Bonnyman, a physiotherapist in Canada.  Alison is the founder and lead instructor of Canadian Aquatic Rehab Instructors (or CARI for short). Alison has over 35 years of clinical experience, working as a physical therapist in hospitals and private clinics in Canada. Her clinical work and expertise has focused on orthopaedics, long term care, and chronic neurological conditions. The link below for more information in the CARI https://www.aquaticrehab.ca/

Aquatic exergaming combines high-dose playful movement exploration, focused on individual specific impaired balance control and challenging executive elements. To know more about this topic I have the pleasure to  talk with Jens Bansi, he is currently works at the Department of Physiotherapy, Kliniken Valens. Jens does research in Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation Medicine and Neurology. Their current research project involves Training at higher training intensities in persons with multiple sclerosis and evaluates the effects on inflammatory signaling.

El medio acuático se utiliza en los tratamientos de fisioterapia de las distintas patologías, entre las que se encuentra la parálisis cerebral infantil. La parálisis cerebral infantil necesita una atención temprana por parte de los profesionales sanitarios para estimular la capacidad del niño. La terapia acuática parece ser un medio adecuado para fomentar las capacidades que tienen disminuida los pacientes con parálisis cerebral. En México  existe una Asociación a nivel nacional que se especializa en la atención de los niños con esta patología y una  de las terapias que ofrecen  es terapia acuática. el día de hoy cuento con Edgar Iván Hernández, fisioterapeuta certificado por la IATF, nos hablará sobre el trabajo que se realiza en APAC Colima.

Intensive Care Unit Acquired Weakness can be mitigated by early activity and progressive mobilization.Hydrotherapy enables patients to work on their recovery in a very early stage. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrc.2018.09.021

La parálisis cerebral resulta en la pérdida progresiva de las funciones motoras, con un impacto negativo en las actividades diarias y la participación.  A pesar de los beneficios bien descritos de la terapia acuática en los niños, se sabe poco sobre los efectos de la misma en los entornos escolares. En esta ocasión cuento con Elisa Muñoz Blanco que nos hablará sobre su investigación "Influencia de la terapia acuática en niños y jóvenes con parálisis cerebral: un estudio de caso cualitativo en una escuela de educación especial" El artículo lo pueden encontrar en este link https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/10/3690/htm

Since 1991, SNAP has empowered children with special needs to exercise, swim, connect with others, make friends and enjoy the gifts of childhood through a community based and accessible adapted aquatics program. SNAPkids gives children with special challenges and gifts a place for their lights to shine brightly, to be respected and included, to exercise, play and have fun! Our volunteers work one-on-one, creating unique bonds with our swimmers and developing insights and sensitivities which ultimately make our communities more accepting and inclusive. Water is the great equalizer, welcoming and forgiving, enabling the freedom of movement with joyfulness of play. The water can help children with balance, coordination, strength, fitness, focus, communication, social skills, and confidence. Many of the children in SNAP use the water as their primary source of physical activity and exercise. SNAP is a great social outlet and creates a caring and open community for the children, families, and volunteers who participate. If you want to donate , become a volunteer or know more about this program you can go the website to find more information https://snapkids.org/

Aquatic physical therapy and exercise is a popular training method for persons with neuromusculoskeletal function impairments and/or activity limitations. However, commonly the interventions prescribed are non-specific and do not achieve optimal loading for maximal physiological adaptation. Since the pandemic situation, health professionals need to adjust to the new normality. To be able to keep in our continuing education we need to rely on technology, making the webinars one option to keep in touch with other colleagues. Today, in this episode I have Johan Lambeck Senior Lecture and Vicepresident of the IATF to talk about a new project from the IATF; the webinar: System specific loading in aquatic physical therapy.

Patty Ku is back to talk about her research were she  investigated the effectiveness of Ai Chi compared to conventional water-based exercise on balance performance in individuals with chronic stroke. You can find the research in the link bellow https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-58098-0

En este episodio hablaré a grande rasgos de los grupos de pacientes que se ve benefician con la terapia acuática pero no con una lista de diagnósticos médicos, sino con las características funcionales con las que se puedan beneficiar con esta intervención, también mencionaré un poco sobre cómo  la inmersión, la temperatura y otros factores físicos del agua van a  tener un impacto en el paciente aparte de  la intervención que se realiza con los objetivos específicos para cada  persona.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a health problem affecting almost every country in the world. Restricting the pandemic and the virus spreading from one person to another is the top priority.
