Biomechanics and Ergonomics & Immobilization techniques
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Base of Support | Foundation on which a body rests or stands. |
| Biomechanics | A component of physics, the laws of Newtonian mechanics, applied to living bodies at rest & in motion. |
| Center of Gravity | Hypothetical point around which all mass appears to be concentrated. |
| Ergonomics | the study of a person's efficiency in the working environment. |
| Mobility Muscles | Muscles that are found in the four extremities & designed for movement. Such as biceps femoris, biceps brachii, & gastrocnemius. |
| Orthostatic Hypotension | A sudden drop in BP in the brain when a person stands up quickly from a sitting position, causing the oxygen in the brain to drop. Patient becomes dizzy & prone to falling. |
| Stability Muscles | Muscles the support the torso & are designed to provide postural stability. Such as latissimus dorsi, abdominal group, & erector spinae. |
| Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder | Injury or disorder of the muscles, verves, tendons, joints, cartilage, & spinal discs in which work environment & performance contribute to the condition is made worse or persist longer due to work conditions. |
| Commonly Attached Medical Equipment | Items clipped, fastened, or affixed to patient's bodies to deliver substances, such as oxygen, medication, hydration, or nutrition, or drain a away such as postsurgical fluid or urine. |
| Body Mechanics | Enables health professional to perform safe transfer by moving patients & equipment into a desire position while performing action that limit the risk of WRMSD development. |
| Ambulatory | Able to walk. |
| Anteroposterior | Direction of x-ray beam from front to back. |
| Artifacts | Substance or structures not naturally present but of which an authentic image appears on an image. |
| axial Projection | Any projection not at right angles to the long axis of an anatomic structure. |
| Empathy | Recognition of & entering into the feeling of another person. |
| Flexion | Act of bending or condition of being bent. |
| Geriatric | Pertaining to the treatment of the aged. |
| Immobilization | Act of rendering immovable. |
| Neonates | Newborns, infants. |
| Pediatric | Pertaining to the branch of medicine that treat children. |
| Plantar Surface | Sloe of the foot. |
| Rapport | Relation of harmony & accord b/w two person. |
| Restraint | Hindrance of an action "movement" |
| Trauma | Wound or injury. |
