If these forces are equal, then the body will float, and if these forces are directionally opposite to each then, no rotation will occur. However if the forces of gravity and buoyancy are unequal and unaligned, then rotation occurs and continues until such time as the two forces are once more in alignment. When these forces are applied to the human body it can be seen that, when floating, the body is balanced and in equilibrium. However if part of the body is taken above the surface of the water, the balance of the body is upset as the forces of gravity and buoyancy are no longer equal and directionally opposite. The body will rotate until the two forces align once more. Due to disability some people may have a body that remains above the surface and as a result the body will rotate. The child with a marked pattern of flexion with abduction of the shoulder or an affected arm may have difficulty in keeping the limb below the surface of the water and must learn to counteract the rotational movement in addition to acquiring an improved arm pattern.
