Activity Kyphosis What is it good for? Defined as using alignment,posture, and balance in coordinated effort to perform activities Lordosis Sit Up Straight ! When do most injuries most likley occur? What do you know about body mechanics? Importance? Scoliosis Good posture helps prevent fatigue and deformity. promotes normal function of the body including digestion and circulation. aids in ones beauty. excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back. excessive inward curvature of the spine. Avoid unnecessary bending, reaching and flexing in order to reduce strain. slide,roll,push,or pull and object before attempting to lift something. when lifting heavy things, try to have help of a co-worker . Always assume something is heavy to avoid accidents. Words To Know ! The Importance of Body Mechanics Warm-Up Be safe when Lifting!! Correct body mechanics are essential, they help avoid muscular and skeletal injuries,excessive strain,and fatigue. Cont. before acting on something carefully assess the circumstances. When lifting,moving or carrying something hold it close to the body to prevent muscle strain. use the weight of your body to push or pull an object. 1. Get into groups of 4 with a piece of chart paper and a marker. 2.you will be given an object each object is the same. 3. In your groups you will figure out the best way for the whole group to get the object on to the table each person can only use one body part in the shortest time. 4.On chart paper you will list the best steps to take in order to move the object. 5.You will present your method to the class. 6.Each person will be engaged and will help reach the goal of moving the object to the

Transcript: refers to the way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all of its parts. 4 Reasons for Using Good Body Mechanics 1. Muscles work best when used correctly 2. Correct use of muscles makes lifting, pulling, and pushing easier. 3. Correct application of body mechanics prevents unnecessary fatigue and dtrain, and saves energy. 4. Correct application of body mechanics prevents injury to self and others. 8 Basic Rules of Good Body Mechanics: 1. Maintain a broad base of support by keeping the feet 8-10 inches apart, placing one foot slightly forward, balancing weight on both feet, and pointing the toes in the direction of movement. 2. Bend from the hips and knees to get close to an object, and keep your back striaght. DO NOT bend at the waist. 3. Use the strongest muscles to do the job. The larger and stronger muscles are located in the shoulders, upper arms, hips and thighs. Back muscles are weak. 4. use the weight of your body to help push or pull an object. Whenever possible, push, slide, or pull rather than lift. 5. Carry heavy objects close to the body. Also, stand close to any object or person being moved. 6. avoid twisting your body as you work. turn with your feet and entire body when you change direction of movement. 7. avoid bending for long periods of time. 8. If patient is too heavy for you to lift by your self, always get help. Mechanical lifts, transfer belts, wheelchairs and other similar types of equipment are also avaliable to help lift and move patients. Fun Facts Maintain a broad base of support by keeping the feet 8- 10 inches apart. Bend from the hips ans knees to get close to an object. Some health care facilities now require workers to wear back supports while lifting or moving patients. refers to the way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most effcient use of all its parts.

What is body mechanics? 1. feet 8-10 inches apart 2. broad base of support 3. one foot slightly in front of other 4. balance weight on both feet 5. point toes in direction of movement 6. bend knees and hips to get closer to object 7. keep back straight 8. use strongest muscle to do the job Body Mechanics

Body Mechanics

Transcript: Demonstrations!! Bending close to the object you are planning to lift helps with not reaching out and straining your back. In this way you can easily lift a heavy object with your knees. Keeping your back straight is important because it prevents strain that results in injury. Body mechanics are the efficient movement and balance of the body. Maintain a Broad Base of Support Helps when you carry a heavy object. The broad base supports the objects weight instead of putting strain on the back. When you carry heavy objects far from the body it gives a greater chance of straining your arms and shoulders. It is better to push objects. The muscles you use to push are naturally stronger than those used to pull. You also use your weight when you push an object. Avoid Bending for Extended Periods Using your body weight and force to move object can be beneficial because you can move heavier objects more quickly and easy than lifting and carrying the heavy object the distance you planned. This could also prevent injury, this skill goes along with using the strongest muscles. -Feet apart (shoulder width) one foot ahead of the other in the direction of the intended movement -Knees bent (not squat) - again most effective power from thigh muscles mid position the best -Back straight - not necessarily vertical (15-20 degrees) from vertical is all right. Center of gravity over the load -Arms close to the body - nearer the center of gravity -Hands palms grasp - roots of the fingers + palm of the hand -Head chin out and up - otherwise round shoulders and curved spine When you twist it puts unneeded strain on the back, especially when you are carrying something heavy and this can cause injuries. When you twist with an object in your arms the force of the twist can put strain on the back because of the movement of the object that followed. It is always better to have help when lifting heavy objects if possible. With another person the weight of the object can be distributed evenly among you and make the task of lifting much easier. Body mechanics get the best use of muscles. They make lifting pulling and pushing easier. They prevent unnecessary fatigue and strain and save energy. Most of all body mechanics prevent injury. Use Your Body Weight to Help Push or Pull Keep your shoulders down, chest out, and back straight. Get Help if the Person or Object is too Heavy For you to Lift Carry Heavy Objects Close the Body You need to keep good body mechanics because it protects your back and allows you to use your body in a safe way. Your spine goes through the mid line of your back giving you stability and controlling its movement. Feet should be 8- 10 inches apart or shoulder width. Practicing Good Body Mechanics!! Use the Strongest Muscles Bend at the Hips and Knees, Get Close to the Person or Object Your muscles contract when you bend so the longer you bend the more strain you put on your muscles. Avoid Twisting the Body Your legs are your stronger muscles and it is better to use them than your back because your back can be strained a lot easier. Do not lock your knees! What are Body Mechanics? Keep your feet flat on the floor 8-12 inches apart. (shoulder width) Body Mechanics
