MOVE AND POSITION INDIVIDUALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLAN OF CARE
1:1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals
The anatomy which the physical structure of the body and physiology which is the normal functions of the body help individuals to move their limbs. Muscles have the power of contraction thus it produce movement of the body and allow the bones to work like hinges. When moving someone/individual it is important to remember that the muscles can only move the joint as far as the bones will allow them.
1:2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual
If an individual has

3:3 Identify any immediate risks to the individual:
The immediate risks to the individual are as follows environmental factors, equipment, service user and person involved in the moving and handling. The service user could be in danger or harm if procedures has not carried out correctly, individual could be at risk of infection, it could cause pain, discomfort or friction from moving, not having proper moving and handling techniques could be a risk to individual. Those assisting in the moving and handling, others within the environment and servicer. Equipment can be faulty. Risk can occur any time at your work place that why it is important to always check and identify risks and try to correct it straight away ( ie) if you are using a sling to hoist a service user and it has a tear on it no matter how small the risk is, if it is not being corrected straight away this could lead to a big risk and

6.2 To understand individuals needs and preference and to meet them, to move the individual safely and correctly, to involve individual in the process, to minimise injury to individual, myself or others and ensuring that move is comfortable for the individual.
A second type of legislation within health and social care is “Manual handling operations Regs 1992.” This act states that employers all must plan ahead and avoid task that carry risks. They must also take steps to reduce the risks of injury during tasks that cannot be avoided for example, within River glade using a hoist alone the staff must assess the risk of this job and potentially ask for help if they cannot do it alone. In order to reduce the risk of injury from manual handling the staff can plan every lift to be as safe as possible by bending their knees while lifting the can also, encourage people to move independently when possible. Lastly, they can avoid repetitive lifts. (Aldworth C., 2010)
to contract, which then allows body movements and functions? There are two types of muscles in
In an anatomy and physiology course you will examine the body parts and the way that these body parts function together to keep us alive.
I was assisting Mrs x who was not too well but Mrs x was fully mobile and only required assistance of one staff while walking Mrs x to the lavatory she felt dizzy and was about to fall I grabbed hold of her at once I shouted for more help.

The human body is often perceived as being a complicated mechanism. Having many different parts that perform specific functions, in order to understand how the body works, it helps to understand how the body is organized. Chapter 2 introduces us to the study of Anatomy. According to Medical News Today, anatomy is the identification and description of the structures of living things.

When patients are lifted, moved, or repositioned, health care workers can be subject to serious injury if not practiced with proper mechanics.
