The coordinated use of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems to maintain balance, posture, and body alignment during movement.

Proper body mechanics prevents muscle, joint, and tendon injuries by maximizing the musculoskeletal and neurological system's efficiency.

The correct positioning of body parts in relation to each other while sitting, standing, walking, or lying down.

Maintaining a steady position with equal weight distributed on both sides of the body.

Injury to a muscle or tendon caused by overuse or overload.

Ligament injury caused by twisting or opposite forces.

Proper posture reduces strain on muscles, tendons, nerves and joints. It promotes comfort,circulation, and prevents issues such as foot drop.

Activities of Daily Living (activities such as bathing, dressing, eating).

Using proper techniques to lift heavy objects to prevent injuries.

Moving heavy objects while maintaining a safe posture and avoiding back strain.

Maintaining a healthy alignment of the body to reduce strain and improve functionality.

Combining bending and twisting actions puts significant stress on the spine, increasing the risk of back pain and injury.

Practices that help avoid back pain by maintaining proper posture, lifting techniques, and overall fitness.

The way your body moves and uses its muscles to do activities.

A combination of weight, center of gravity, and base of support.

Increases stability because it provides a larger area for the center of gravity to stay balanced.

Increases stability because it brings the center of gravity closer to the base of support leading to more balance.

An imaginary vertical line that passes through the center of gravity.

Provides framework and support for the body.

Provides movement and stability to the body.

Controls and coordinates muscle movements and posture.
