Explain How To Understand Anatomy And Physiology Of The Human Body

HSC2028 MOVE AND POSITION
INDIVIDUALS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THEIR PLAN OF CARE.
◦ Outcome 1. Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioning individuals.
◦ 1.1 As care workers part of our role is to help people move and reposition in the safest possible way. To enable us to do this we need to understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body.
Understanding this reduces the risk of harm to you or the person in you care. The spinal columns made up of individual bones and there are joints that connect these together. A ligament connects bones to support joints ◦ Muscles work like levers and this allows bones at a joint to work like a hinge.The fibres they contain contract which makes the muscle shorten which …show more content…
Muscle can only move bones as far as the joint allows if this is pushed beyond its range it will cause pain and damage the joint.Nerve fibres can be damaged easily and these send impulses to the muscles, which enables the muscle to contract and relax these can be caused through poor handling and moving techniques.People must never be dragged or pulled suddenly as this may cause severe damage to the ligaments and tear tendons which can cause severs pain. Putting to much pressure on a persons arm or hand when moving them from one position to another may cause the bones to fracture this can also happen if there is an accident while moving them for example using the wrong size sling on a hoist and the person falls out.
◦ 1.2 People with dementia need to be told what is going to happen and the task should be carried out in stages explaining everything as you go along.People with arthritis need to be moved slowly and smoothly and not attempt to move the joints beyond their limits.Blind people will need clear verbal instructions and be guided around any objects in their vicinity,People who have had strokes that may be weak on one side
