Transcript: DEFINE IT !! Posture: the position in which someone holds their body when standing or sitting. abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. Rules of the game !? 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: High amount of dependent patient require assistance dressing, bathing, feeding, toileting. Lack of or improper use of lifting equipment Staff shortage Repetitive motion: Twisting, bending Poor posture Poor physical fitness Educators teaching outdated techniques Repositioning a Patient Brief History Transferring Patient Factors Causing Injuries The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration released federal ergonomic guidelines to prevent musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace. Paterson, Stephanie R. "Back Injuries in Nursing." Back Injuries in Nursing. N.p., n.d. Web. Potter, Patricia, Anne Perry, Patricia Stockert, Amy Hall. Fundamentals of Nursing, 8th Edition. Mosby, 2013. VitalBook file. Body mechanics is the process of using the body safely and efficiently. The "ABC's" of good body mechanics are alignment, balance, and coordinated body movement. "Guidelines for Nursing Homes: Ergonomics for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders." Guidelines for Nursing Homes: Ergonomics for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders. OSHA, Mar. 2009. References Coordinated musculoskeletal activity is necessary when positioning and transferring patients. The most common back injury is strain on the lumbar muscle group, which includes the muscles around the lumbar vertebrae. Injury to these areas affects the ability to bend forward, backward, and from side to side. Brief history of body mechanics Define the words body mechanics, alignment, and balance. Describe the "ABC's" of proper body mechanics. Describe and explain how to maintain and use proper body mechanics. Identify factors which may contribute to the development of back injuries in nursing. Body mechanics is the study of proper body movement to prevent and correct posture problems, reduce stress, and enhance physical capabilities. Objectives Alignment refers to the relationship of one body part to another along a horizontal or vertical line. Balance is stability produced by even distribution of weight. Coordinated body movement is a result of weight, center of gravity, and balance. Body Mechanics in Nursing (continued) Body Mechanics Do you need a lift team? Guidelines for Correct Body Mechanics ABC'S of Body Mechanics Body Mechanics in Nursing Body Mechanics The ability to rotate the hips and lower back is also decreased when lumbar muscle group is injured. Body mechanics alone are not sufficient to prevent musculoskeletal injuries when positioning or transferring patients. Keep your back straight and maintain proper posture. Stand with your feet apart and your weight evenly distributed. Face the patient or the object that you are moving. Use the large muscles of your legs to lift. Shift the position of your feet when turning, do not twist. Bend from the knees, not the waist. Use smooth coordinated motions. Let the patient know what you are doing. Encourage the patient to get/ask for help as much as possible.

It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. On average women say 7,000 words per day. Men manage just over 2,000. Jaw muscles can provide about 200 pounds of force to bring the back teeth together for chewing.

Transcript: The Connection to Physics What I learned from this topic? Body Mechanics Virginia Lafond May 3rd 2014 * Understanding the concept of work and force * Professor Grannucci used the demonstration of moving a chair. If she pushed on the top of the chair this work would not help move the chair left. If she pushed the side of the chair this work will succeed in moving the chair left. * Learning these concepts helped me understand why proper body mechanics is important because we are using forces to assist our bodies lift an object. Knowledge from Class * Proper posture * Utilize the leg and hip muscles rather than the back muscles * Back injuries is the number one incident in a work place. What information did I already know? Why? * My major is nursing * proper body mechanics can prevent many work injuries * I've had an experience with a work injury due to improper body mechanics * Anyone can benefit from proper body mechanics * Work - is done on an object when a force causes a displacement of the object. * Equation - W=FD * Every one has their own gravitational force from the head to the feet. When a person is using improper body mechanics they are not using their natural force to help them. Work Cited * A person should pull or push an object if possible to avoid excessive lifting * When lifting an object or helping another individual you should have both feet spread apart to gain more stability * You should avoid reaching to lift an object because you are putting your body out of aliment, which can cause injury. The object being lifted should be close to the torso because that is where the human body's center of gravity is, which will give the individual more force and control to lift the object.
