The document describes various starting positions for movement in physical therapy, including standing, kneeling, sitting, lying, and hanging. For each position, it outlines the muscle groups involved in maintaining proper alignment, the stability and effects of the position, and some variations or derived positions. The main positions allow different levels of stability and load on the body to train control and range of motion in different joints.
This document describes various positions derived from standing that are used in physical therapy. It discusses 15 specific positions including wing standing, low wing standing, bend standing, and lunge standing. For each position, it outlines the muscle activity involved, effects on the body, and therapeutic applications. The overall purpose is to explain how modifications to the basic standing position can achieve different therapeutic goals through changes in balance, range of motion, or muscle engagement.
Starting Position.pptx(Fundamental position or Posture required for physiothe...nidhiagarwal260755
Position is assumed by the body and take movement to come in a equilibrium.
Posture follows movements like a shadow.
Movement- Every movement begin with posture and end with posture.
Posture- Posture is an attitude either with support or without support.
The posture from which movement is initiated are known as standing position.
The movement may be either by active or passive.
STARTING POSITION- The movement either active or passive which comes our body in equilibrium with attitude and with less effort then the position is known as starting position.
There are five types of starting position that is known as Fundamental position. These are:-
Standing
Kneeling
Sitting
Lying
Hanging
This PPT helps the students to learn the different type of postures which are needed to treat the patient. Easy to understand the importance of Starting positions. Easily to understand the muscle effects in different fundamental positions and their benefits
This document discusses posture and factors that affect it. It defines good posture as optimal muscular balance and efficiency. Posture changes throughout life and with activity. The spine curves allow strength and mobility. Maintaining upright standing, sitting, and lifting postures protects the back, while improper forms can strain muscles and ligaments over time. Small postural sways help prevent fatigue and aid circulation while balancing.
To strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, sit comfortably and squeeze the muscles 10-15 times in a row. Don't hold your breath or tighten your stomach, buttock or thigh muscles at the same time. When you get used to doing pelvic floor exercises, you can try holding each squeeze for a few seconds.

Jump rope sculpts the entire body through cardio. Instructions are provided for how to perform each exercise correctly and safely.
The document describes exercises to strengthen the core muscles. It defines the core muscles as those that move or stabilize the lumbar-pelvic and hip complex, including the lumbar spine, abdominal region, pelvis, and hip joint. It then explains and provides instructions for four core exercises: front plank, side plank, glute bridge, and Superman. The front plank involves maintaining a straight body position on the forearms and toes to work the abdominal muscles. The side plank challenges the obliques and improves balance and stability. The glute bridge enhances core stability while targeting the abdominal, lower back, and hip muscles. Superman involves raising and holding opposite arm and leg to work the entire back side of the body.
There are five fundamental body positions discussed in the document: sitting, standing, kneeling, lying, and hanging. For each position, variations are described that involve changing the position of different body parts like the legs, trunk, arms, and pelvis. The key muscle groups worked and effects of each position are explained. Positions like stride standing, walk standing, and wing standing provide increased stability for exercises by changing the base of support. Others like stoop standing and lax stoop standing are useful for stretching or relaxation.
Romanian Deadlift: How to, Benefits, Tips, and VariationsAQF Sports
The Romanian Deadlift is a traditional barbell lift that establishes the strength of the posterior chain muscles, such as the gluteus maximus, adductors, erector spinae, and hamstrings. When performed correctly, it is an effective exercise that strengthens both the core and the lower body with one exercise.
This document describes fundamental body positions and positions derived from them. The fundamental positions are standing, sitting, lying, and kneeling. Descriptions of each position are provided along with diagrams. Derived positions are then explained, such as high standing, step standing, and half sitting for the standing and sitting positions. For lying, derived positions include side lying, prone lying, and quarter turn lying. Kneeling positions like kneel sitting and half kneeling are also defined. The document concludes with an explanation of hanging and two derived hanging positions: arch hanging and half hanging.
One of the advantages of Lazaro the Cuban Cardio Core workout is the comfort of easy to follow, easy to use and perform, most traditional core exercises on the floor limited range of motion, and these workouts contribute to preventing injuries, improve health and fitness benefits, and build your dream, impenetrable defined midsection.
The document provides information on functional re-education exercises that progress a patient from lying down positions to standing and walking. It begins with exercises in supine positions like bridging and progresses to side lying, prone, quadruped, sitting and eventually standing and walking. Each position includes descriptions of how to achieve it, example exercises to improve strength, coordination and proprioception, and the functional goals of that position. The overall goal of the functional re-education program is to make the patient independent through systematic strengthening and training of positions and movements.
This document outlines the principles and benefits of ante-natal and post-natal physiotherapy. It discusses how exercises can help reduce stress and pains during pregnancy, as well as improve circulation, posture, weight control, and recovery after birth. Guidelines are provided for safe exercises during pregnancy, including proper warm-up, cool-down, duration and positions. Specific exercises are described targeting areas like the ankles, arms, abdomen, back, and pelvis. Post-natal physiotherapy focuses on pelvic floor exercises and other aerobic activities like walking, swimming and aqua classes to continue providing benefits after giving birth.
The document discusses core stability and core muscles. The core, or lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, consists of 29 muscles including the abdominal muscles, back muscles, and hip muscles. It is the center of gravity and where all movement originates. Core training exercises like planks, bridges, and exercises using a Swiss ball can improve posture, muscle balance, stabilization, and prevent low back pain by developing efficient neuromuscular control since all movement originates from the core. Sample exercises described are planks, bridges, planks on a Swiss ball, Swiss ball curls, supermans, and more.
This document provides descriptions of various standing, kneeling, sitting and lying positions used in kinesiology. It discusses the key muscle groups engaged in each position and their effects and uses. Some of the positions described include standing, stride standing, half kneeling, kneel sitting, prone kneeling, stride sitting and cross sitting. For each one, the document outlines the muscles worked, the biomechanical advantages of the position, and how it can be used for specific exercises.
Antenatal exercises are exercises performed by the women in their antenatal period to enhance the circulation and prevent various kind of complications. It also gives a feeling of well being to the women.
This document outlines various antenatal exercises that can be performed during pregnancy. It describes exercises that target different areas of the body like breathing, abdominal tightening, pelvic tilting, pelvic floor exercises, foot and leg exercises, and others. The exercises aim to relieve back pain, improve posture and muscle strength, control weight gain, and prepare the body for delivery. Examples and steps are provided for exercises like Kegel's, squatting, ankle rotations, and more. Safety tips are also included for using a birthing ball during exercises.
The document describes various mat activities used in functional re-education programs to progressively improve patient independence. It outlines activities like rolling, side-lying, prone-lying, and transitions between positions that mimic normal development sequences. Exercises in each position target improving coordination, balance, strength, and stability. The goal is to teach patients to maintain positions independently and perform movements within positions. Later activities include kneeling, sitting, standing, and parallel bar walking to build up to independent walking.
The document discusses bracing the core and core muscle anatomy. It defines bracing the core as the conscious activation of core muscles like the transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, and obliques to create stability. It describes the functions of these muscles and emphasizes exercises that work on flexion, rotation, lateral flexion, and anti-movement patterns to build core stability while maintaining a neutral spine. These include planks, bridges, pallof presses, and various exercises using medicine balls or cables. Proper breathing through the diaphragm is also highlighted as important for core function and overall health.
This document describes various mat activities (MAT) used in physical therapy. It discusses 9 principles of MAT including concentration, control, fluidity, etc. It then describes different MAT positions and exercises including rolling, prone on elbows, prone on hands, supine on elbows, pull ups, lifting, quadruped position, kneeling, and sitting. The goals of MAT are to facilitate balance, promote stability, mobilize and strengthen the trunk and limbs, and train for functional activities. Details are provided on how to perform several example MAT exercises and positions.
Bodyweight exercises are a common and inexpensive way to get fit by maximizing one's own bodyweight to challenge specific muscle groups. Some key bodyweight exercises described in the document include pushups, squats, planks, and lunges. These exercises work muscles in the upper body, lower body, and core without equipment. The document provides step-by-step instructions for performing each exercise properly and safely.
This document describes several yoga poses including Warrior Pose, Camel Pose, Cobra Pose, and Superman Pose. For each pose, it provides the Sanskrit name, a description of how to perform the pose and its benefits. It also lists contraindications for some of the poses. The poses strengthen and stretch different parts of the body and have benefits like improved digestion, flexibility and stress relief. Precautions are mentioned for poses if a practitioner has conditions like back injuries.
This document describes several fundamental body positions:
1) Standing requires maintaining an erect body with coordinated muscle work to balance on a small base of support.
2) Kneeling is unstable and difficult to maintain as the body must stabilize on the knees with flexors and extensors working.
3) Sitting has a low center of gravity but near the rear edge of the base, requiring flexors to maintain right angles at the hips.
4) Lying down fully supports the body with a large base and low center of gravity, activating head and back muscles.
5) Hanging is only used by strong individuals and engages muscles throughout the body to lift and support the weight.

8. • As like fundamental position of standing but weight is
transmitted through the knee joint due to the right
alignment of knee to the body.
• The lower leg rests on the floor with the feet plantar
flexed, position of arm as in standing.
• It is much difficult position to maintain.
KNEELING
9. • Many upper limb and trunk exercises
can be performed
• To perform coordination and balance
exercises
• Used in mat exercises
Uses
11. • One knee supports most of the body weight and the
other leg is bent to a right angle at hip, knee
• Foot is supported in forward direction
Half KNEELING
12. Muscle work
• The abductors of the hip joint of the
supporting leg and the lumbar side flexors of
the opposite side work to balance the trunk.
• The extensors of the hip and knee of the
forward leg works slightly to assist balance.
13. Effects and uses
• Pelvis is well fixed in the position for
trunk side bending and rotation
exercises , when the trunk moves in a
direction away from the supporting leg
• Neck exercises, stretching and
strengthening of hip and knee muscles
14. • Knees and hips are flexed so the patient sits on his
heels.
• It is sometimes used for small children
• Most people find it very uncomfortable.
KNEEL SITTING
15. Effects and uses
• To perform trunk bending and stretching
exercises
• To perform neck exercises
• To perform stretching and
strengthening exercises for hip and knee
muscles
16. • The trunk is horizontal supported under the shoulder
by the arms and at the pelvis by the thighs which
must be held vertical, the head is held in line with the
trunk
• A type of kneeling supported by all four limbs.
PRONE KNEELING
17. Muscle work
• Shoulder and hip joint muscles work to
stabilize the supporting limbs
• Flexors of the lumbar spine prevent hollowing
of the back.
18. Effects and uses
• Suitable for trunk and head exercises
• Pelvis is free for anteroposterior and lateral
movement , but fixed for rotation
• Body may be inclined forward and downward by
abducting the shoulders and bending the elbows,
this expands the thorax and localizes lateral
flexion to thoracic region.
• Coordination exercises
19. • The same as prone kneeling, but there is more that 90
degrees flexion of both elbows shoulders are flexed
and abducted, the head rested on the hands or on
plinth
Inclined PRONE
KNEELING
20. Effects and uses
• A weakened Pelvic floor can be relieved of the
weight of the viscera or the uterus may be
assisted by gravity into the normal position
• To perform breathing exercises and postural
draining technique
• Example:
Muslim namaz(sajda) position
