{"id":37,"count":8,"description":"\r\n\r\nBad Ragaz Ring is a method which utilizes flotation rings at the neck, pelvis, knees and or ankles, to support the patient in an horizontal supine position. this method is a strengthening and mobilizing resistive exercise model, which uses 33 degrees Celsius water. the force used by the patient should be less than therapist force. it should be used in the early rehabilitative stage of patient care.\r\n\r\nBad ragaz ring should be combined with other methods which focuses on increasing activities and participation, an example is Water specific therapy (halliwick method).\r\nAdvantages which the hydrotherapy method provides\r\n\r\n \tre-education utilizing specific patterns of resistance\r\n \tendurance\r\n \texpansion of the spine\r\n \trelaxation\r\n \trange of motion\r\n \ttone reduction\r\n \ttrunk alignment\r\n \tstability\r\n\r\nApplication\r\npatients with the following symptoms or disability's benefit from Bad Ragaz Ring method:\r\n\r\n \tPain with movement\r\n \tdecreased range of motion\r\n \tspasticity\r\n \tdecreased coordination\r\n \tproprioceptive or sensory deficits\r\n \tweakness or low tone\r\n \trestricted weight bearing\r\n\r\nThis technique can be used for the following:\r\n\r\n \tPeripheral joint problems like osteoarthritis\r\n \tInflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis\r\n \tChronic spine problems\r\n \tGeneral weakness or motor control deficit from neurological diseases like stroke, peripheral nerve lesions, polyneuropathies\r\n \tImpairments post-surgery, like trauma and joint replacement\r\n\r\nMethod\r\nThe therapist can be located at the patients head, side's or feet to perform movement such as rolling. the ideal position for the therapist is between thoracic vertebra 8 to thoracic vertebra 11 of the thoracic spine. the therapist uses aquatic principles to interact with the patient. these interaction (exercises) are Passive to isometric, isokinetic and isotonic.\r\n\r\nIndication of BRRM and relationship to ICF\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIncreasing\r\nICF body Function\r\nDecreasing\r\nICF Body Function\r\n\r\n\r\nStength\r\nMuscle power functions\r\nmuscular tone\r\nMuscle tone functions\r\n\r\n\r\nJoint stability\r\nInvoluntary movement reaction functions\r\nPain\r\nSensation of pain\r\n\r\n\r\nJoint stability\r\nStability of joint functions\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRange of motion\r\nMobility of joint functions\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLocal muscle endurance\r\nMuscle endurance functions\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPreparing lower extremities for weight-bearing\r\nGait pattern functions\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\napplications of the treatment technique from PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) used in BRRM.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTreatment Techniques\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRhythmic Initiation\r\nThe therapist starts with the pattern passively and then asks the patient for more and more help. at the end the patient performs the pattern on his\/her own.\r\n\r\n\r\nReversal of antagonists\r\nchange from one pattern to the opposite pattern without a break.\r\n\r\n\r\nRepeaeted contractions or stretch\r\nRepeated stretch through the range, resist the pattern and stretch the active muscles and ask for increased contraction.\r\n\r\n\r\nCombination of isotonic\r\nIn the desired movement combine isotonic concentric work with isometric and isotonic eccentric work. there is no relaxation between the different types of muscle.\r\n\r\n\r\nTiming for emphasis\r\nChange the normal timing of the movement to applied timing in other joints. stabilize the strong joints and move the weak one.\r\n\r\n\r\nHold relax\r\nbring the body in the desired position and increase slowly the resistance without any movement. Ask for hold the position.\r\n\r\n\r\nContract relax\r\nBring the body in the desired position and ask to pull the body in a desired direction.
