Document Summary
Week 8 and 9: describe the principles of body mechanics (body alignment, body balance, friction) across the lifespan. Twisting can overload the spine and lead to serious injury. Posture abnormalities: can cause pain, impair alignment or mobility, or both. Impaired muscle development: injury and disease can lead to numerous alterations in musculoskeletal function. Muscular dystrophies are a group of familial disorders that cause degeneration of skeletal muscle fibres. Damage to the central nervous system: damage to the cns that control the voluntary parts can result in impaired body movement. Includes hemiplegia (muscle paralysis) or hemiparesis (muscle weakness) Direct trauma to the musculoskeletal system: result in bruises, contusions, sprains, and fractures porous bones: congenital abnormalities: osteogenesis, scoliosis, (inherited disorder-deformed, degenerative diseases: parkinson"s, multiple sclerosis affect control, movement, balance. Mobility: the ability to move easily and independently. Joint mobility can be limited by ligaments, muscles and the nature of the joint: movements include .
