What is Principles of Body Mechanics in Nursing about?
Body mechanics refers to the efficient use of the body as a machine. Key concepts include body alignment, balance, coordinated movement, and joint mobility. Good body alignment optimizes musculoskeletal function and prevents strain. Balance is achieved through a wide base of support, low center of gravity, and line of gravity within the base. Coordinated movement uses large muscle groups and leverages the body efficiently. Joint mobility allows for the full, natural range of motion of joints.
