Document Summary
Proper use of body mechanics and core stability: conserves energy, reduces stress and stain on body structures, reduces risk of personal injury, promotes and maintains proper body control and balance, promotes effective and efficiency respiratory and cardiovascular function. Involves the lumbar-pelvic-hip complex: reliant on muscular endurance and neuromuscular control, provides proper control of movement and positioning of trunk over pelvis, leading to a stable base for limb movement and absorption. Involves muscles of abdomen, torso, back, and pelvic floor. Body mechanics: use of one"s body to produce movement, that is safe and energy conversing, that is anatomically and physiologically efficient, that maintains body balance and control. Size up load (perform activities with physical capabilities: mentally and physically prepare. Imaginary line that bisects the body in the sagittal plane beginning at the head and continuing through the cog: must fall between feet for balance and stability. Standing on one foot: adding ambulation aids, reaching for an object, adjusting bos.
