Nursing Positions – Exam Oriented Golden Points 🩺
• Prone Position – Patient face down → improves oxygenation in ARDS and helps secretion drainage.
• Supine Position – Patient lies flat on back → used for physical examination, surgery & CPR.
• Semi-Fowler’s (30–45°) – Head elevated → best for NG tube feeding, mild dyspnea, post-operative patients.
• High-Fowler’s (60–90°) – Sitting upright → improves severe respiratory distress & lung expansion.
• Trendelenburg Position – Head down, feet up → used in shock management & pelvic surgery.
• Reverse Trendelenburg – Head up, feet down → helpful in GERD, abdominal surgery & breathing comfort.
• Sims’ Position (Left Sims) – Left lateral with flexed knee → used for enema administration & rectal examination.
• Lateral Recumbent – Side-lying → recovery position, prevents aspiration.
• Lithotomy Position – Legs in stirrups → used for gynecological examination & childbirth.
• Jackknife (Kraske) Position – Prone with hips elevated → used for rectal & hemorrhoid surgery.

In this footage, a traveler bypasses conventional safety norms by reclining directly onto a moving airport baggage carousel. The subject is seen circulating among standard luggage, briefly adopting a prone position before transitioning back to a standing posture as the conveyor belt continues its mechanical loop. This act subverts the intended utility of transit infrastructure, transforming a sterile logistical zone into a stage for performative leisure.
**Impact Metrics:**
* **Engagement Score:** 8.4M "Chaos Saves"
* **Sentiment Shift:** 62% "Main Character" fatigue
This stunt sparked a polarizing digital debate, with users oscillating between "Infrastructure Anarchy" and hygiene-induced horror.
**Analysis by @UrbanEntropy:**
The creator’s intent highlights the "Liminal Playground" theory—the urge to gamify weary transit spaces. This mirrors the real-world challenge of **social media-driven trespassing**, a phenomenon documented by the *Global Transit Security Alliance* as a rising threat to operational safety standards.
The new all-electric Atlas represents a departure from the clunky, mechanical movements of the past, opting instead for a streamlined design that favors efficiency and versatility. The removal of bulky hydraulic systems has allowed Boston Dynamics to create a robot that is significantly slimmer and more agile. One of the most fascinating aspects of this machine is its ability to perform movements that would be physically impossible for a human being. Because its joints are not restricted by ligaments or bone structures, it can twist its legs and torso in ways that appear almost liquid. This allows the robot to fold itself into compact shapes for storage or to navigate extremely tight spaces without having to reposition its feet.
This mobility is powered by a series of high-output electric actuators that provide the necessary force to lift heavy loads while maintaining delicate balance. When the robot stands up from a prone position, it does not push itself up with its arms like a person would; instead, it flips its legs over its head and stands directly up, showcasing a level of flexibility that redefines bipedal locomotion. This isn’t just for show. In a workplace environment, this means the robot can transition from one task to another with zero wasted energy. It can reach tools behind it without turning around, and it can move in any direction at a moment’s notice.
The sensory suite on the robot is equally impressive. Its head, which features a circular ring of light, is packed with depth sensors and cameras that provide a constant 360-degree view of its surroundings. This allows the AI to map out complex environments and predict the movement of nearby humans or machinery. The goal is to create a tool that is not just a follower of programmed paths, but a dynamic participant in the workforce that can solve spatial problems on the fly.

Stretch and Recover!
Try these static and dynamic stretches to optimize your mobility, improve posture, and recover from your workouts!
1 | World’s Greatest Stretch: This stretch lengthens the entire body. Start in a lunge position with one hand planted on the ground. Option to raise your knee and add rotation. Second, bring the hips back and straighten the front leg. Hold each position for 30 seconds, and repeat with the other leg.
2 | Elevated Hip Flexor Stretch: using a block or half or full foam roller, place the object under your tailbone. Straighten and lower one leg while bringing the other knee to your chest, hold for 30 seconds. Repeat with the other leg.
3 | Chest Stretch with Spinal Twist: In the supine position, keep your shoulder blades planted in the ground, arms at 90• angle. Twist the right knee over the left leg, alternate. Repeat 20 reps.
4 | Scorpions: In the prone position, arms out in a T position planted on the ground. Reach the opposite foot to the hand, alternate, and repeat 20 reps.
5 | Child’s Pose: start with your feet under your sits bones, and crawl your hands out in front of you until you feel the stretch. Try and bring your tailbone towards your heels, while bringing your forehead towards the floor. Hold for 30 seconds.
Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe struck a different tone from his predecessor, telling a meeting of dual Senate committees he was “ashamed” by the attempted assassination of former President Trump and was prepared to be candid with lawmakers.
“I laid in a prone position to evaluate his line of sight. What I saw made me ashamed. As a career law enforcement officer and a 25 year veteran with the Secret Service, I cannot defend why that roof was not better secured to prevent similar lapses from occurring in the future,” he told lawmakers.

Looking for a core-strengthening workout with more variety than crunches and sit-ups? Pilates may be the perfect fit for you! This mat routine from @urbnburn can help you get started.
1 | Pilates Scissors: In the supine position, begin by elevating your upper spine, and gently raise one leg, grab each elevated leg, and alternate. Do 10 reps on each leg.
2 | Roll-ups: While keeping your legs straight and feet on the ground, use your breath to raise your torso while reaching towards your feet until you reach an upright position. Control your way back down.
3 | Teaser 100’s: Maintain a hollow body position with your arms out in front of you. Keep your shoulders back and relax. Pulse the arms 5 times as you inhale, and 5 times as you exhale. Repeat 10x. You may start by keeping your knees bent and toes touching the ground until you feel you can stabilize in the teaser pose.
4 | Single Leg Circles: This move will challenge pelvic stability and hip mobility. Start by sending one leg straight up, externally rotating the leg, and begin circling in one direction. Try not to let the hips move with the leg, repeat 6-8x in both directions
5 | Swimmers: This will challenge hip mobility. *Note: one leg may raise higher than the other; try not to compensate by lifting your pelvis. Raise both arms and legs and begin the swimming motion. Start slowly, then increase the pace.
6 | Birddog: start in quadruped position. Extend the opposite arm to the leg and hold until your pelvis stabilizes. Return and alternate with the other side. Repeat 10x.
7 | Diamond lifts: In the prone position, send your knees to the edge of your mat while bringing your heels together. While you press your heels together, lift your legs by squeezing your glutes. Raise and lower for 20 seconds, then hold and pulse for ten, repeat 3x.
This is amazing! Thank you to @coachzachdeck for this series! I will be trying some variations of these with my Tuesday class @breathepilatesandyogastudio @withregram • @coachzachdeck I'm a huge fan of the Prone position for shoulder mobility training. The tactile awareness of your body on the floor is a great way to keep your drills strict. If you have a limited shoulder, or you tend to "cheat" with spine motion... train Prone!
These 2 lb dumbbells make the shown exercises very advanced. Regress to a tennis ball if necessary.
1. 1-arm Shoulder CARs
2. Swimmer IR Hinges
3. Shoulder Flexion End Range Rotations
4. Shoulder Capsule CARs (IR and ER)
Try training timed sets. I worked 3 rounds of 45 seconds per drill as my joint prep before my upper body lift.

Today’s Signature Yoga Pose
Gupta Padmasana
Benefits:Strong spine: As the spine is extended and the chest is opened, the vertebrae column in aligned and strengthened.
Better breathing capacity: As the chest is opened, the lungs can take in more oxygen.
Flexible lower body: The asana stretches all the muscles in the leg and thighs.
How to do:
Assume Padmasana. Place the hands on the floor in front of the knees.
Leaning on the arms, raise the buttocks and stand on the knees.
Slowly lower the front side of the body to the floor in the prone position.
Rest either the chin or one cheek on the floor. Place the palms together behind the back.
The fingers may point downward or upward in Hamsa mudra.
If possible, touch the back of the head with the middle fingers.
Close the eyes and relax the whole body. For compete relaxation, the hands may rest on the floor besides the body with the palms facing upward.
Return to the starting position, cross the legs the other way and repeat the asana.
Breathing is normal throughout the practice. #fitindia #fitindiamovement #youmatter #icaniwill #fitnesschallenge #todayssignaturemove #todayschallenge #nothingcanstopme #nothingcanstopyou #deannepanday #balancebydeanne #healthcoach #wellness #fit #fitnessexpert #author #yoga #guptapadmasana #hiddenboundlotus #fitmom #fit #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #health #immunity
The burpee is a mainstay in @CrossFit, used to improve function and develop fitness. In certain populations, the burpee (moving from a prone position to standing) is a critical skill that allows one to safely lower to the ground and stand back up.
This bodyweight staple produces a stimulus as profound as the movement is simple. Athletes of every body type and physical capacity have something to gain.

Got a compressed painful back?!
Sometimes as chiropractors, we need to call in a friend to deliver just the adjustment you need 🙌🏾🙌🏻
When the lower back gets compressed, tension is the counterforce needed to help open it up.
Long levers like arms and legs can be utilized to create tension, to help open joints, so they can better be adjusted.
In this video I demonstrate how to adjust the compressed lumbar spine in a prone position, while recruiting another chiropractor to provide a long lever tension through the leg to decompress the facet joint, prior to making the adjustment.
When we “float” the joints, they become much easier to adjust.
Grateful to continue to deepen in these creations.
For chiropractors, next seminar is “Pattern Breakers” in Melbourne 🇦🇺 Feb. 21-22 with @simonfloreani_

TOP TIP - Stop swinging ❌👎 Here’s how to quicky & effectively get more out of your Tricep kickbacks…
Adopt a prone position (chest supported) - remove the reliance and temptation to use momentum to swing each rep up, and of course focus on controlling the lowering phase (eccentric) too…
