This may be caused by even small amounts of pressure when assisting someone or even when standing for a short while to transfer. - An “impacted” fracture is when two bones are forced into each other. This could happen when moving an individual’s limbs with too much force. - A jagged, spiral fracture is caused by twisting bones, for example when repositioning an individual. - A “compression” fracture means that the bone has broken into pieces, which could occur when something falls on the bone.
HSC 2028 Outcome 1 1. If you do not move and position individuals correctly you can harm the individual unintentionally. For example when you are moving an individual you need to know how the muscles work. Muscles act as levers in the body which allows the bones at a joint ie hip to work like a hinge. The muscles pull and move the bones of particular joints which then make the joints move and in turn the body then moves.
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.
This is where the surgeon may also need to realign the quadriceps mechanism, when the tendons on the inside edge of the knee (the medial side) may have to be tightened as well (26). Many doctors think that the lateral release and ligament tightening procedures are overused; they urge patients to try the non surgical options before considering
Muscles pull and move the bones at particular joints; this makes the joint move and therefore the body moves. When a muscle contracts, it pulls the bones at a joint in the direction that it is designed to move. 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. The Muscle Anatomy (http://anatomy.askthetrainer.com/) The Skeleton system (http://www.faqs.org/health/Body-by-Design-V2/The-Skeletal-System-Design-parts-of-the-skeletal-system.html) Nerve fibres run all the way through the body and send impulses to muscles, which enable the muscles to contract and relax.
When someone sprains an ankle there will be swelling, bruising and tenderness and the pain will be at the lateral part of the ankle and sometimes at the medial part. The ankle is a hinge joint and articulates from three bones, which are the talus, tibia, and fibula. (1. Heck) The ligaments support the ankles stability and when someone has recurrent ankle sprains it is likely that they could lose their normal kinematics. (6 Maughan) Muscles that cause
1:2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual. Many illnesses affect the way in which people move. Someone who suffers with arthritis or pressure sores etc will affect the way you move and handle them. When moving an individual you must take into account if they have conditions that require special moving techniques. Individuals with Parkinson’s may have limb rigidity which can affect their ability of movement and cause limitations.
Explain what myositis ossificans is and how it may develop. Explain how one can differentiate between a hip dislocation and a femur fracture. 32. Explain how you as an athletic trainer can prevent hip and thigh injuries. Explain the muscle anatomy or the hip and what function each muscle group performs.
Unit cu2625 1.1- Mobility means the movement of individuals from a particular place or position to another whilst ensuring that their independence is maintained e.g. moving from a wheelchair to a bed or moving from one bed position to another. 1.2- Strokes, fractures and dislocations, muscle weakness or stiffness due to arthritis may make mobility more difficult. With strokes the person may not have good balance and partial paralysis on one side which can make the person more at risk of falling. A fracture of a bone may mean that it does not heal quickly or may become infected which can restrict movement of a person’s hand or leg for example which makes it difficult for moving around.
1.2 Identify pressure sites of the body Heels, bottom, elbows, legs anywhere on the body. 1.3 Identify factors which might put an individual at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores Not being able to move around, get out of bed, being incontinent, not maintaining personal hygiene. 1.4 Describe how incorrect handling and moving techniques can damage the skin If you do not move a person right you may tear the skin, or bruise it 1.5 Identify a range of interventions that can reduce the risk of
