Ligaments support and stabalize the an individuals joints. A strain is an injury that occurs to a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue, which connect muscles to bone (Muscle of the Foot and Ankle, n.d). 2. What bones form the articulation (joint) of the ankle?
Dementia - The person may be confused and might not understand what you are saying and when you are supporting them to move. You should show the person by your actions and allow more time to complete the position change. Stroke - A person may have one arm or leg stronger than the other. This needs to be taken into account when weight bearing or moving as to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the weak side. 2 Understand current legislation and agreed ways of working when moving and positioning individuals 2.1 Management of health and safety at work regulation – This introduced the requirements for risk assessment when moving and position individuals.
Move and position individuals in accordance with their plan of care 1 Understand 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 The skeleton is the framework of the body; it is made up of the muscular and skeletal systems. The skeleton provides protection for the body’s major organs and also allows the body to be moved and positioned. Without a skeleton the body would just collapse. Muscles work like levers allowing the bones at a joint to work like hinges. When a muscle contacts it pulls the bone in the direction it is designed to move, when somebody has reduced mobility muscles are more flaccid making it more difficult and slower to move.
| | 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.
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 weak and make movement slow and more difficult. Joints are where two or more bones make contact. Some joints allow more movement than others.
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.
If an individual has a fracture or a broken limb, the movement must be gentle and careful, and the right procedure must be followed, so as to reduce any complications to the fracture. If an individual is bed-bound, the correct hoist and sling must be used. When staff adhere to the appropriate moving techniques, it will reduce the risk of back injury and pain. If a service user has had a stroke one side of their body is weaker, in this case you will need to be more careful with the one side of the body, for example, putting the service users bad arm into the arm of the top before the other one. If an individual is loss of sight you will need to explain to them what are you about to do and guide them around the room.
The ACL provides stability to the knee and minimize stress across the knee joint. It limits rotational movements of the knee. It restrains excessive forward movement with the tibia (lower leg bone) and femur (thigh bone).
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 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
