We need to understand that elderly people are not as supple as younger people and even if they do not suffer movement restriction through a medical condition. They bruise easier too and so great care has to be taken when handling, moving and positioning them especially when assisting them to sit up or when using the hoist strap. Failure to follow the care plan and any presenting conditions can lead to causing the individual injury, pain and discomfort. It may also lead to legal action being raised. 1:2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual.
I feel if we were to take away all their independence, take away their choice, it could lead to the service users having behaviour problems and also in the long term they will lose ability to do skills that they once were very capable of doing. 2. (1.2) Analyse reasons why individuals may need support to maintain, regain or develop skills for everyday life The reason why people would need support to maintain, regain or develop skills for everyday life can be very different. People could have different health problems that affect their skills for everyday life. A few examples on what could have an effect are: * Physical health: feeling unwell with a fever leads to tiredness and can make you unable to do usual daily activities.
With reduced mobility, muscles can become floppy and make movement slower and more difficult, but when muscles are used on a regular basis, they remain firm and move more easily. When supporting moving and positioning activities, it is important to remember that muscles can only move the bones at a joint as far as the joint allows. For example, the elbow and knee joints have limited movement; trying to extend these joints beyond their range can cause painful damage to the joint. Nerve fibres run all the way through the body and send impulses to muscles, which enable the muscles to contract and relax. Nerve fibres are delicate structures and can easily become damaged through poor moving and handling techniques.
Individuals suffering from arthritis can often be left with stiff and painful joints and frequently have limited movement in the affect areas. With individuals with arthritis we have to be careful to know just how far that individual can move the affected area and not try to push past that limitation. Individuals suffering from Parkinson’s disease may experience limb rigidity that can affect normal positioning and movement, it may also take that individual longer to start a movement. It is important therefore not to force the rigid limb further than it is able to as this could cause damage to the joint and cause discomfort or pain. It is also important not to rush an individual with Parkinson’s.
Once again elderly females are more likely to end up with osteoarthritis than males. (Swift,(2012) Muscular atrophy is a third problem common in the elderly. This is simply a loss of muscle mass due to a lack of physical activity. (Evans, (2010) Pain, stiffness, and injury can lead to an inability or unwillingness to perform normal daily chores. As the muscle atrophies it becomes increasingly weaker.
Unit 56 1.1 As part of a care workers job you have to partake in assisting with the moving and handling of individuals. Having a basic understanding of anatomy and physiology can help reduce the risk of harm to yourself and others when undertaking moving and handling procedures. When moving and positioning individuals, it is important to ensure the individual is not moved more than their body is capable of, as muscles can only move bones at the joint as far as the joint allows. It is also important to move and handle correctly to ensure nerve fibres are not damaged as they are delicate, but also important as they send impulses in the body which enable muscles to relax and contract. There are a few different types of joints in the human body such as ball and socket joints, hinge joints and pivot joints all which allow different types of movement.
The reason why those who exercise live, because they are not getting fat over time as someone would be by just sitting at the couch all day. If you are obese you have more physical and possibly metal problems than a normal weight person and the physical problems are mostly severe and can cause premature death. Just by exercising you can avoid all these horrible diseases and early death. Studies show that exercising improves memory in older people. In conclusion exercising is a proven way to decrease the risk of all these medical conditions and they should be taken action with other factors as
S.M.A.R.T S-Specific Description: Specific fitness is a task-oriented fitness programme designed to meet the requirements of a particular activity, occupation or sport. It mostly applies to athletes who play a particular sport because the awareness of specific fitness that can help them excel in their fields by directly connecting their workouts to the performance in their sports. Specific fitness can be detrimental when a person becomes too focused on it at the expense of overall fitness. M-Measurable Description: By doing each exercise, you must be able to measure it, how much have you done, etc how far did you run, or how long did you jump. By measuring these exercises you will be able to see your progression, this will help you beat your own best score in a time, helps to progress extremely, only by doing it regularly and with full give away.
“Sports psychology can help athletes looking to improve their focus and confidence” (Smith and Kays). Needless to say, confidence and focus alone can completely change the outcome of an athlete’s performance. “The mental skills in excellent performance are not just a single purpose activity” (Smith and Kays). Elite athletes recognize the many factors that are involved in sports psychology. “Sports psychology ranges from detailed attention to perceptual processes, to mental skills training, and a broad investigation of perfectionism, injury and eating disorders” (Smith and Kays).
