When a person moves it puts stress on joints and muscled and patients with weak muscles on shortened calves which can be a result of walking incorrectly, will have to be taught how to walk properly using a full gait, pattern not missing any phases out. Reduced mobility can have many effects on an individual’s well being. A person who cannot get around as well as they used to through illness or injury will feel vulnerable. They may not
Someone who has not enjoyed good health over a long period of time, however, may be able to adjust well to a more limited physical level of ability, perhaps having compensated for poor health by developing intellectual interests. Employment Health is also likely to have had an impact on a person’s employment opportunities, either making employment impossible at times or restricting the types of jobs they could do. Whether or not people are able to work has a huge effect on their level of confidence and self-esteem. Employment may also have an effect on the extent to which people have
Unit 4222-325 Support individuals during a period of change As an individual goes through life they experience changes. Some changes may only be temporary and are short term, this could be due to an operation, hip or knee replacements or illness that has left them weak and unable to manage with everyday tasks until they get their strength back. Assistance at this time and loan of equipment can see them through this period. A fall that has resulted in broken bones or damage to parts of their body, may affect someone’s confidence and they need help to rebuild this. This can a very upsetting and frustrating time if someone is used to having their independence and they may be reluctant to except help but the positive is that after
This is because it is easier to turn on the ankle. In those who have had a severe sprain in the past, it is also easier to turn the ankle and cause a new sprain. Therefore, one of the risk factors of spraining the ankle is having instability. Those who have weak muscles, especially those called the peroneals which run along the outside of the ankle, may be more predisposed. Anatomy There are multiple ligaments in
Muscles will weaken with age which causes stiffness and weakness to certain areas of the body. When moving or repositioning an individual it is important to be very careful because muscles can only move as much as they can. Bones in limbs are covered in tissue. It is vital to not put too much pressure on an individual’s arm, leg, and hands as it could lead to a fracture due to the fact bones aren’t as strong in elderly people. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual?
Unit Reference 8027 1. Understand Anatomy and Physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals. 2. The impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual is different in many cases, an individual with Arthritis has limited movement due to stiff painful joints, joints should not be moved beyond their limits, so any moving and positioning should be taken slowly so as to avoid pain and discomfort to the individual, an individual with Cerebral Palsy can have contracted muscles or joints that can cause a fixed rigid limb so you should communicate at all times while moving and handling s as to avoid pain. 2.1 Describe how legislation and agreed ways of working affect working practices related to moving and positioning individuals: Whenever a carer moves an individual they should always follow their moving and handling training.
If training leads to boredom you will lose motivation. If you are 'wound up' you are suffering from anxiety: you will feel tension in your body and this can prevent you from performing well. Feedback is information about the outcome of a performance and it can greatly affect future performances. Your personality can affect your choice of sports and performance: Extroverts are socially outgoing. They need high arousal levels to perform.
Also, there are preferred warm-ups that should be done instead of stretching that will allow the body to get warmed up instead of over stretching the main muscles being used (Arnheim, 2005). There are several body parts that may limit flexibility and may hinder performance. It is obvious that if a muscle is over stretched or under stretched it will not perform at a desired level. However, there are some anatomical body parts that can limit our flexibility. Age plays a large flexibility; it deals with how much elasticity our muscles have.
When supporting moving and positioning activities, it is important to remember that muscles can only move the bones at a joint foe only as far as the joint allows. Example the elbow and knee have limited movement trying to force these could inflict pain and also cause damage, nerve fibres run through the body and can become damaged using poor moving and handling techniques. 1.2 There are a number of conditions that can impact on the correct movement and positioning of a person. Arthritis; people suffering with this have painful and stiffness in joints and can also have limited movements. Care should be taken not to force movement beyond the person’s ability so as not to cause unnecessary pain.
Stress can affect us in many areas of our lives. On one hand it can affect our health in bad way it can cause death or be a major contributor to death. It can also affect our relationships and work. On the other hand a little stress can be actually good. It can place a little pressure on us in order that you can perform better.
