HSC 2028 MOVE AND POSITION INDIVIDUALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLAN OF CARE 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals The anatomy which the physical structure of the body and physiology which is the normal functions of the body help individuals to move their limbs. Muscles have the power of contraction thus it produce movement of the body and allow the bones to work like hinges. When moving someone/individual it is important to remember that the muscles can only move the joint as far as the bones will allow them. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual If an individual has suffered from a stroke this may cause loss of movement in the limbs on one side of the body (hemiplegic). In that case it is very important to remember that when you are assisting an individual with regards to dressing you need to dress the individual firstly the bad side and when undressing him/her you do the bad side lastly to prevent discomfort.
| | 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals (Planned: 0 , Completed:0) The anatomy and physiology of the human body explains that muscles are attached to the skeleton. They work like hinges or levers to pull or move particular joints when a muscle contracts, pulling the joint in the direction it is designed to move. Parts of the muscles move antagonistically. Muscles can become slack making movement slower and more difficult. This explains that the human muscles move in command from the brain.
1.2 Impact of specific conditions on correct movement and positioning There are a number of conditions that can have an impact on the correct movement and positioning of people. Arthritis People suffering with arthritis will often have stiff painful joints and frequently have limited movement in the affect areas. Care needs to be taken when moving or positioning arthritic people, to reduce the possibility of causing pain and discomfort. You also need to be aware of the limited movement of arthritic joints and not attempt to move these beyond their limits. Parkinson’s disease Sufferers of Parkinson’s disease may experience limb rigidity that can affect normal movement and positioning.
When assisting someone with moving or positioning it is important to remember the muscles can only move the joints as far as the bone will allow them to. 2. Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual. When assisting an individual you have to take into account if the individual has any conditions that might require certain moving techniques. For example people who suffer from Parkinson’s could have rigidity of their limbs which can affect their movement.
Compare and contrast Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle. Discuss how their differences enable them to carry out their function more effectively. Skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle account for nearly half of our body weight, their roles essential for normal bodily function. Skeletal muscles; attached to the skeleton via tendons; maintain body posture, are voluntary controlled and have antagonistic arrangement for muscular contractions. They tend to enlarge following vigorous exercise, a phenomenon called muscular hypertrophy and are located around the body.
Unit 232 Move and position individuals in accordance with their plan of care 1. Understand the anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals Joints enable your body to move. They are the place where two bones meet. There are several different types of joints. The ball and socket joints are the most mobile type of joint in your body.
The skeletal system is the main foundation of the human body, without this, we cannot function as human beings. “Many parts of the skeletal system help the body to move. Tendons connect to muscle to bone; ligaments connect bone to bone. Bones meet each other at joints” (Kelly, 2004). The muscular system and the skeletal system compromise each other when it comes to movements.
Move and position individuals in accordance with their plan of care Outcome 1 1. Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals. There are many different kinds of joints in the human body (hinge/ball and socket for example) and these joints are held together by ligaments and tendons, and it can be quite easy to damage these joints by pulling on them. For example dragging people around a bed or not using a hoist but dragging people up under their armpits can easily sprain / dislocate the individuals shoulder. The spinal column is also made up of individual bones called vertebrae and inbetween the bones there are joints that connect these together and ligaments connect bones to support joints and not moving an individual correctly can cause ligaments to sprain which is why individuals must never be dragged when being moved as this can cause joints to over stretch and then sprain the ligaments.
Move and Position Individuals in Accordance withtheir Plan of Care: 1.1 When moving and position an individual it is important to make sure that yu do not move them more then the body is capable of, as muscles can only move bone at the joint allows.Sudden movements and pulling can cause pulled muscles or tear tendons which can cause a lot of pain.Putting pressure on individual hand or body when moving from one position to another can cause fracture of the bone. 1.2 Specific conditions could be arthritis , stiff, painful joints and frequently have limited movements in the affected areas.Stroke ,paralysis or weakness which affects one side of their body. 2.1 Every time a care worker moves or position the individual they are manually handling
When mobility he is reduced muscles become weaker and floppy making movement harder and slower but when muscles are in frequent use they remain stronger and more flexible movement easier. When we are supporting an activity that involves moving and positioning it is important to understand that an over extension of a movement extending the joints can cause damage and a lot of pain as muscles can only move at a joint up as far as the joint allows. Nerves run throughout our bodies sending messages to the muscles which enable them to contract or relax, these nerve fibres can be easily damaged when poor moving and handling techniques are practiced. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual.
