The two possibilities for pelvic positions are neutral and imprinted.
In neutral pelvis the natural lordotic curve of the lumbar spine is
present. Imprinted means a slight lumbar curve into flexion is
present. During imprinted spine the normal curve lengthens toward
flexion by engaging the oblique abdominals to help bring the rib cage
closer to the pelvis. I would use neutral pelvic placement for the One
Leg Circle, since the essence of the exercise is stability of the
pelvis and torso in neutral while being challenged by unilateral leg
movement. Imprinted spine would be recommended for the Hundred since
both feet are lifted off of the ground. Imprinted spine would help to
maintain flexion in the spine, you could use neutral spine when the
client demonstrates enough strength to maintain it during the
exercise.
2. Name the 5 basic principles of alignment that are incorporated into
the work and briefly describe each.
Breath: The goal of the breathing is to relax unnecessary tension in
the body and to encourage the engagement of the transversus abdominis
on the exhale while maintaining engagement during the inhale. During
exhalation the rib cage closes in and down while the spine flexes
slightly, exhalation is encouraged when the spine is flexing. During
inhalation the rib cage open out and up as the spine extends.
Inhalation is encouraged when the spine goes into extension to help
the abdominals to stabilize the spine. The breath is brought into the
nose and exhaled through the mouth with slightly pursed lips which
should help you to feel a deeper contraction of the abdominals.

...e the four layer of abdominals. Rectus, and External and
Internal Obliques flex the spine. Transversus aids in respiration and
helps to compress the abdominal cavity to help support the spine in
neutral.
4. How does the breath relate to flexion and extension of the spine?
What are some images that particularly relate to flexion and
extension and or promote good breathing patterns?
An exhale is encouraged when the spine is flexing since the ribs
naturally roll down and back during exhalation. Inhalation is
encouraged when the spine is extending since the ribs usually lengthen
up and out during inhalation. Inhaling gently through the nose and
exhaling through pursed lips or as if exhaling through a straw, this
will help to encourage an engagement of the transversus abdominis to
support the lumbar spine.
The contraction of the inspiratory muscles increases the volume of the thoracic cavity causing the pressure within the alveoli to decrease and air to flow into the alveoli. During resting inspiration, the diaphragm, the external intercostals and the parasternal intercostals contract to stimulate inspiration. During forced inspiration the scalene and the sternocleidomastoid muscles contract to further expand the thoracic cavity. The pectoralis minor muscles also play a minor role in forced inspiration. During quiet breathing, relaxation of these muscles causes the volume of the thoracic cavity to decrease, resulting in expiration. During a forced expiration, the compression of the chest cavity is increased by contraction of the internal intercostal muscles and various abdominal
The shoulders should be fully depressed like the professional dancer but the ammeter dancer does not have their shoulders fully depressed. Having the shoulders back and depressed keeps the spinal cord in a neutral position (Rina, 2015). The ammeter does not have a neutral spine cord because they do not have their shoulders back and depressed. The professional dancer does because their shoulders fully depressed and
The plank exercises is really a full-body exercise that challenges your entire core including your TVA muscle. During this exercises you're holding your body up by your forearms and toes, aligning from your heels up to your head. Your butt and leg muscles are engaged, your looking down at the floor. It's essential to pull your navel to your spine to help stabilize your torso and keep your back straight. Sagging your rib cage to the floor and pushing your hips up is a no-no; remain straight as a plank. Work your way up to holding this position for five breat...
The paper focuses on the origin of the Pilates method of exercise. It also takes a step-by-step journey of Joseph Pilates (Joe) who was the founder of the Pilates method of exercise. Finally the paper will consider Pilates in the contemporary world.
The fighter is then ready to initiate the movement phase: extension at the knee with a relative angle to the thigh of about 180 degrees, lateral rotation of the grounded foot between 90 and 120 degrees, and additional lateral flexion of the spine.
The term “safety comes first” or more simply put, “safety first,” is a message that patients not only want to hear, but also want to know is the focus of the professionals that are caring for them; in particular, when they are under anesthesia and have limited or no ability to speak up or lookout for themselves. The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) has implemented two initiatives; Rocognising and Responding Appropriately to Early Signs of Deterioration in Hospitalised Patients (NPSA, 2007) and How to Guide: Five Steps to Safer Surgery (NPSA, 2010). Understanding that human beings make up the healthcare professional workforce, it is evident that tools and checklist can and will only be as good as the how people utilize and follow them. Thus, these initiatives “have been developed with consideration of human factors” (Beaumont & Russell, 2012). I know firsthand, that if my healthcare team would have followed these standards, I would have avoided torture, fear, and long term side effects from a routine hysterectomy procedure.
As you practice remember that inhalation and exhalation are both done through the nose and should be an equal amount of time in duration. Make sure to keep your breath flowing and your throat open. Don’t tense your shoulders or jaw. Be careful not to overfill your lungs as it will cause tension. Finally, keep your navel pulled in while breathing.
March 22nd, 2018, Competency 2B.1: When attempting to do a gastrointestinal and nutritional assessment on one of the resident’s my dyad partner and I were assigned to, the resident started telling us a story of her past. The story became very detailed and somber, and unfortunately the resident had dementia, so she began repeating painful moments of her past over and over. While my dyad partner and I were actively listening, we realized that we needed to try to street the conversation in another direction, so we began trying to talk about the flowers she had, or the bird feeder that was outside her window. And while the resident would try to steer the conversation back into the direction of her past, she did not get offended or upset anytime we tried deflect the conversation, so while we did our assessment on her, we would talk more positive topics. While it is important to listen and engage in what a resident is saying even if the subject is difficult, sometimes dementia can cause unfortunate mental loops where a deflection is necessary – not because my dyad partner or I are uncomfortable in hearing theses stories – but because it is painful for the resident to continually re-engage in these memories.
Social Services in this particular area include the Department of Human Resources. This resource has agents that protect the vulnerable adult and child from abuse. DHS arranges emergency housing, public housing and administers the Food Stamps or the SNAP program. Also in this particular area there are County Health Departments that because of their extended wait times are a source of contention in our population group.

America in the 1920’s was a time of great change for its citizens. As incomes and living standards rose, Americans were freely able to enjoy new forms technology and entertainment like never before. But there was also a battle for the moral soul of America brewing underneath. One of the last pushes of the progressive movement was the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919. It was supposed to be a measure to eliminate some of the vices in the American culture by making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcoholic beverages. Enforcement of the law however, was difficult and it faced opposition in many states and cities, especially northern cities. With law enforcement unable to fully enforce the law, bootleggers smuggled liquor from the West Indies and Canada, while speakeasies sprung up to provide alcohol illegally. Organized crime expanded to deal with the now lucrative business and they controlled the distribution of alcohol in major American cities, and gangsters such as Al Capone made a fortune while law enforcement officials often looked the other way. Prohibition fueled much debate within the United States until its repeal in 1933.
