| dc.description | Objective: To describe the application of an aquatic functional assessment scale in aquatic functional motor skills
learning, through hydrotherapy in a heated pool, to classify adaptation and independence of the participants in
the water.
Methods: Application of a hydrotherapy program to assess behavioral objectives, evaluation criteria which were
defined as learning levels, ranked from 1 (0%) to 5 (100%) with Aquatic Functional Assessment Scale (AFAS)
predicting, since no execution of motor skills, full or partial support or help to execution of motor behavior
aquatic independence. The practice was conducted in a heated pool (33 to 34 ºC) in Brazil, with six participants
with spinal cord injuries (three paraplegics and three tetraplegics). The program in hydrotherapy occurred in 15
intervention sessions, 30 minutes each, four times a week.
Results: Participants had average level of learning above 80.0% (level 4) in 20 of the 26 motor behaviors
assessed aquatic. The paraplegic group's results were 80.0% during phases "adaptation(A)", "mastering of the
liquid medium (D)" and "global fitness (Cd)". The tetraplegic group's results were above 90.0% during "D" and
"Cd".
Conclusion: The planning of new strategies in the hydrotherapy in a heated pool using an aquatic functional
assessment scale contributed to the development of aquatic motor behaviors. | |
