  1. Fundamental Positions • Standing position. • Kneeling position. • Sitting position. • Lying position. • Hanging position

  2. Standing Position it is the most difficult position to maintain because the body is balanced and stabilized on a small base which needs coordination work of many muscle groups.

  3. Correct standing position described as: • Head: at the mid line. • Eyes: looking forward. • Neck: at the mid line with chin in. . do not tilt your head forward, backward, or sideways. • Shoulders: at the same level. • Trunk :straight. • The pelvic is balanced on the femoral head. • The spine is stretched to its maximum length and stomach flat. • Arms:Extended,adducted & are hanged loosely to the sides. • Forearms: Extended at neutral position • Palms: facing toward the body. • Hips:Extended,slightly laterally rotated at same level • Knees: Extended • Feet: together at same line & angle between them not>forty five. • Your weight should be evenly distributed on both legs.

  4. Uses: • It is suitable position for exercise. • Maintain balance • The erect position is the position of alertness

  5. Derived Postions from standing: • Wing standing • Stride standing • Step standing • Yard standing • Walk standing • Toe standing • Sloop standing • Close standing

  6. Wing standing • Head: at the mid line • Eyes :looking forward • Shoulders: slightly abducted • Elbows: semi flexed • Hands :rest on the iliac crest, fingers extended and adducted, thumbs abducted posterior • Trunk: straight • Hips: at the same level • Knees: Extended • Feet: together at same line & angle between them not>forty five

  7. Stride standing • Head: at the mid line. • Eyes: looking forward. • Neck: at the mid line with chin in. . do not tilt your head forward, backward, or sideways. • Shoulders: at the same level. • Trunk :straight. • Arms:Extended,adducted & are hanged loosely to the sides. • Forearms: Extended at neutral position • Palms: facing toward the body • Knees: Extended • Feet:separeted from each other

  12. Sloop standing • Head: at the mid line. • Eyes: looking downward • Shoulders: at same level • Trunk :flexed right angle • Hips: flexed right angle • Knees: extended • Feet: rested on ground

  13. Sitting position • the position is taken on chair or stool. • It is preferable to leave two or threeinches of space between the back of your knees and the edge of the seat. • The height and width of seat must allow the thighs to be fully supported.

  14.

  29. uses • Suitable for many arm &leg exercises • The most comfortable position • Breathing is impeded slightly by pressure on the posterior aspect of thorax and the pressure of the abdominal viscera on the under surface of the diaphragm is increased.

  30. Derived from lying • Crock lying • Side lying • Half lying • Prone lying • Half prone lying

  32. Side lying • The whole body rested on one side • Head: turning to one side • Eyes: looking to one side • Lower Shoulder: flexed • Lower elbow : flexed • Upper shoulder& elbow: flexed • Hips: flexed • Upper L.L:extended • Lower L.L.:flexed

  33. Half lying • Head: at the mid line. • Eyes: looking forward. • Shoulders: at the same level. • Trunk :slightly flexed • Elbows: slightly flexed • Palms: facing toward the body. • Hips: extended, slightly lateral rotated • Knees: extended • Feet: out of the plinth, slightly planter flexed

  37. uses • This is a difficult position • It is used to correct the curvature of the spine as in cases of scoliosis • Use the body weight ,pull of gravity to stretch shortening components

  38. Derived from hanging (Half hanging) • Head: at mid line • Eyes: looking forward • Shoulders: only one is elevated • Arms: extended • Forearm: pronated • Hands: only one holding the bar • Trunk: straight • Hips: extended • Knees: extended • Feet: planter flexed

  39. When does starting position fail? • Inappropriate choice • Muscle weakness • Joint &muscle pain • Lack of joint ROM • Lack of balance • Disturbed perception
