Synonym: orthograde positionanteroposterior positionA radiographical examination position in which the central ray enters the front of the body and exits from the back.antideformity positionAny of several postures that reduce edema and the shortening of ligaments and tendons caused by abnormal muscle tone, e.g., in patients with injuries or burns.axial positionA radiographical examination position in which an image is obtained with the central ray entering the body at an angle.Bonnet positionIn inflammation of the hip joint, the flexion, abduction, and outward rotation of the thigh, which produces relief.Brickner positionA method of obtaining traction, abduction, and external rotation of the shoulder by securing the patient's wrist to the head of the bed.butterfly positionFrog-leg position.centric positionThe most posterior position of the mandible in relation to the maxilla.closed-packed position, close-packed positionOf a joint, the position in which there is maximum congruency of the articular surfaces and joint stability is derived from the alignment of bones. This is the opposite of the maximum loose-packed position. decubitus positionThe position of the patient on a flat surface. The exact position is indicated by which surface of the body is closest to the flat surface: in left or right lateral decubitus, the patient is flat on the left or right side, respectively; in dorsal or ventral decubitus, the patient is on the back or abdomen, respectively. dorsal elevated positionA position in which the patient lies on the back with the head and shoulders elevated at an angle of 30° or more. It is employed in digital examination of genitalia and in bimanual examination of the vagina.

English positionLeft lateral recumbent position.fetal positionThe relationship of a specified bony landmark on the fetal presenting part to the quadrants of the maternal pelvis.Fowler position See: Fowler positionfrog-leg positionA body position used in physical examination to evaluate the genitals and perineum in which the patient lies on the back or sits on the buttocks, bends the knees, abducts the thighs, and draws the heels toward the pelvis. Synonym: butterfly position.functional position of handIn making splints for the hand, the position in which the wrist is dorsiflexed 20 to 35°, a normal transverse arch is maintained, and the thumb is in abduction and opposition and aligned with the pads of the four fingers. Proximal interphalangeal joints are flexed 45 to 60°. genucubital positionA position with the patient on the knees, thighs upright, body resting on elbows, head down on hands. It is used when it is not possible to use the classic knee-chest position. Synonym: knee-elbow positiongenupectoral positionA position with the patient on the knees, thighs upright, the head and upper part of the chest resting on the table, arms crossed above the head. It is employed in displacement of a prolapsed fundus, dislodgment of the impacted head of a fetus, management of transverse presentation, replacement of a retroverted uterus or displaced ovary, or flushing of the intestinal canal. Synonym: knee-chest position See: dorsal recumbent position for illus.gravity-dependent positionPlacement of a limb so that its distal end is lower than the level of the heart. Gravity affects the fluids within the limb, drawing or retaining them to the distal aspect. When limbs, esp. injured limbs, are placed below the level of the heart, interstitial pressure is increased, encouraging the formation and retention of edema within the extremity. head-down positionTrendelenburg position.heat escape lessening position Abbreviation: HELP
A body posture that decreases the rate of heat loss when a person is immersed in water. It is an important component of aquatic safety. HELP protects the head, neck, chest, and groin from rapid heat loss and delays the onset of hypothermia. The position is assumed by floating on the back with the head and neck above the water line, the arms crossed on the chest, and the legs crossed with the knees drawn up toward the perineum. The body is sustained in a stable floating position in the water by a personal flotation device. horizontal positionA position in which the patient lies supine with feet extended. It is used in palpation, in auscultation of fetal heart, and in operative procedures. horizontal abdominal position1. A position in which the patient lies flat on the abdomen with the feet extended. It is used in examination of the back and spinal column. 2. Face down. Synonym: abdominal positionintercuspal positionCentric occlusion.jackknife positionA position in which the patient lies on the back, shoulders elevated, legs flexed on thighs, thighs at right angles to the abdomen. It is used when introducing a urethral sound.

Synonym: resting positionNoble position See: Noble positionoblique positionIn radiology, an alignment of the body between a lateral and an anteroposterior or posteroanterior position. The angle formed by the body surface and the image receptor may vary. The central ray enters the aspect of the body that is upright and facing away from the image receptor. obstetrical positionLeft lateral recumbent position.open-packed positionLoose-packed position.orthograde positionAnatomical position.orthopneic positionThe upright or nearly upright position of the upper trunk of a patient in a bed or chair. It facilitates breathing in those with congestive heart failure and some forms of pulmonary disease. physiological rest positionIn dentistry, the position of the mandible at rest when the patient is sitting upright and the condyles are in an unstrained position. The jaw muscles are relaxed. Synonym: rest positionposterior-anterior position Abbreviation: PA position

A position in which the body is lying face down with the upper trunk and head elevated, propped up by the arms, while the lower body is in contact with the supporting surface. The weight of the upper body rests on the elbows and forearms. Patient careThis position, a component of the developmental sequence, is used in physical therapy to improve weight bearing and stability through the shoulder girdle. Elbow joint stability is not required, because the joint is not involved. reclining positionJackknife position.recovery positionA position in which the patient is placed on the left side with the left arm moved aside and supported to allow for lung expansion and the right leg crossed over the left. This position affords the unconscious, breathing patient the best protection from airway occlusion or aspiration of fluids into the lungs. rest positionPhysiological rest position.resting positionMaximum loose-packed position.resting position of handIn making splints for the hand, the position in which the forearm is midway between pronation and supination, the wrist is at 12 to 20° dorsiflexion, and the phalanges are slightly flexed. The thumb is in partial opposition and forward. semi-Fowler positionA position in which the patient lies on the back with the trunk elevated at approx. 30°. See: Fowler's positionsemiprone positionSims' position.Sims position See: Sims position.subtalar neutral position of the footThe middle range of the subtalar joint with no pronation or supination measured. It is usually one third of the way from the fully everted position. tangential positionIn radiology, a position in which the central ray separates the images of anatomical parts by skimming between them.Trendelenburg position See: Trendelenburg, Friedrichtripod positionA position that may be assumed during respiratory distress to facilitate the use of respiratory accessory muscles. The patient sits leaning forward, with hands placed on the bed or a table with arms braced. unilateral recumbent positionThe position in which the patient lies on the right side is used in acute pleurisy, lobar pneumonia of the right side, and in a greatly enlarged liver; the position in which the patient lies on left side is used in lobar pneumonia, pleurisy on the left side, and in large pericardial effusions.
