Diagnostic Aquatics Systems Integration: Specialized Interventions

Diagnostic Aquatics Systems Integration: Specialized Interventions focuses on seven specific clinical diagnoses and includes evidence-based connections to strengthen the clinical value of the specialized interventions addressed.

The Seven Protocols contained in DASI Specialized Interventions

The Aquatic Pain Inhibition Protocol (APIP)

The Aquatic Sacroiliac Dysfunction Protocol (ASID), in collaboration with Flavia E. Bayron

The Adapted Pediatric Wassertanzen Protocol, in collaboration with Judith Alvarado Bradley

The Aquatic Spasticity Inhibition Protocol (ASIP)

Biomechanical and Clinical Applications of Ai Chi, in collaboration with Ruth Sova

The Therapeutic Aquassage Protocol, in collaboration with Flavia E. Bayron

The Aquatic Lumbopelvic Stabilization (ALSP) Protocol Diagnostic Aquatics Systems Integration

The Diagnostic Aquatics Systems Integration (DASI) Theory encompasses the diagnostic and therapeutic foundations for aquatic rehabilitation of orthopedic, neurological, pediatric, geriatric, and cardiopulmonary pathologies. The DASI theory helped create a diagnostic evaluation instrument that enables the aquatic therapist to formulate a functional diagnosis so that objectives can be established and a comprehensive aquatic rehabilitation plan of care can be designed and implemented. DASI also provides a basis for the biomechanical, physiological, and neurophysiological principles that underlie the science of aquatic movement. It is a systematic problem-solving approach that allows the trained aquatic therapist to make educated decisions and modifications to the techniques, activities, and interventions that are indicated for specific clinical problems.
