No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a pacing device, a metronome, improves functional outcome measures in aquatic therapy when compared to a control group.

Conditions

  • Exercise Therapy

Interventions

DEVICE

Metronome

Pacing aquatic exercises to the beats per minute of a metronome. The metronome will be adjusted to each patient's pain free exertion level. Patients will start with 10-20 repetitions of the exercises depending on their physical ability. The repetitions will be progressed as the patient's strength and endurance improve and noted in the chart and the flow sheet. The metronome will be synchronized during their second aquatic therapy treatment. The beats per minute (BPM) will be increased on the metronome during the series of treatments until the patient can no longer maintain proper technique with the exercises. The exercises will continue at this BPM during future visits. The patient will be instructed to keep pace with the beat of the metronome for the duration of the exercise.
