Week 7 Flashcards
What are the 4 P’s of Energy Conservation
Planning
Prioritizing
Pacing
Positioning
what are the principles of proper body mechanics
keep load close to body move feet first avoid forward bending and twisting at the waist maintain back curves wide BOS alternate heavy/light loads balance mucle forces Adjust work surface to appropriate height
two types of splints
Static, dynamic, progressive (form)
Immobilization, mobilization, restriction, torque transmission (function)
JP principles
*use strongest join/muscles *place body in stable position *hand/wrist in neutral *RESPECT PAIN *maintain jt ROM/Strength *regular rest breaks *avoid prolonged static positions *avoid activities-no stop-too tired *scoop the object *avoid push/bend abn positions avoid tight graspingpush heavy objects rather than lifting/pulling
Principles of Energy Conservation
*pace yourself *frequent rest breaks *sit when possible *good body mechanics *eliminate unnecessary tasks *temperature *avoid vigorous arm mvmts *grade hardest to easy
Breathing techniques
Pursed lip breathing
diaphragmatic breathing
-breathing techniques can be done before, during, and after activities or just to relax
