Body Mechanics STANDARD 2.0 The students will apply the skills and techniques necessary for risk management and injury prevention Objective 2.3 Analyze and demonstrate principles of body mechanics

Body mechanics Body mechanics is the coordination of body alignment, balance, and movement

Body alignment Refers to correct positioning of head, back and limbs

Posture Position of body parts in relation to each other

Mobility The ability to move

Balance The ability to maintain a steady position that does not tip.

A device used to support body at work to reduce damage when lifting, moving and transferring patients Body support

Techniques to employ Use stronger, larger muscles to perform tasks which require physical effort

Lifting When moving a heavy object, try to push or pull instead of lifting the item

Proper Lifting Tips TUCK: Tighten stomach muscles and tuck pelvis to keep your back in balance BEND KNEES: Bending at your knees centers your balance & distributes weight. HUG: Hold object lifted as close to your body as possible. Gradually straighten to standing position.

Lifting large weights Get help if object feels too heavy to lift

How to move Lift in a smooth motion to prevent injury

Positioning Maintain good posture

Be careful! Avoid twisting the body

Base of support Bend knees, keep back straight, spread feet about one foot apart, use leg muscles when lifting

Basic rules/principles of body mechanics 1. Maintain broad base of support 2. Bend at the hips and knees (back straight) 3. Use the strongest muscles to do the job 4. Carry heavy objects close to the body 5. Avoid twisting your body as you work 6. Avoid bending for long periods of time 7. Use the weight of your body 8. Get Help (PRN)

Posture

The End Review Time!

Review Questions 1.What does the term body mechanics mean? 2.What are the six principles of body mechanics? 3.Describe how you would safely pull a load 4.How can using proper body mechanics help you to stay healthy and perform well in a health care position? 5.How can you evaluate ergonomic practices?
