Posture and Movement Checklist

Posture and Movement Checklist of the aims of this unit	Big Tick
After completing this unit, you should be able to:
Describe the role played by the skeleton in posture and locomotion.
Name the major bones and regions of the skeleton, describe their functions, and recognise bone as a connective tissue.
Recognise and describe the four main types of movable joints and the range of movements they permit, i.e. ball and socket, hinge, pivot, gliding.
Recognise and describe the structure of synovial joints, e.g. knee joint.
Describe the first aid required for bone fractures.
Describe the movement about a joint as a result of the contraction of paired muscles attached to bones by tendons.
Explain how the co-ordinated functioning of the muscles and the skeleton acts to support the body against gravity.
Recognise and label a diagram of the upper limbs including major bones and muscles and describe the function of these muscles in relation to object manipulation.
Describe the difference between precision and power grip and relate this to object manipulation
Recognise and label a diagram of the lower limbs including major bones and muscles and describe the function of these muscles in relation to locomotion.
