Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether postural alignment is associated with participants’ feelings and habits regarding the prone position. Methods: The participants included 19 healthy female university students with no difficulty in the prone position. The participants were requested to rate on a 5-point scale whether they liked the prone position or had a habit of the prone position, and postural alignment was investigated. Participants then rested for 2 min in each of the six prone positions with different positions, and they were requested to rate on a 5-point scale whether they were relaxed in each prone position. The participants were categorized based on the postural alignment measurement results into a high-strain group （8 participants） and a low-strain group （11 participants） for comparison. Additionally, differences in relaxation between the six prone positions were investigated. Results: The results revealed no difference in the participative feeling of prone positioning or daily prone positioning habits between the groups. Furthermore, no significant differences were found in relaxation between the six prone positions. Conclusion: No association was found between postural distortion and participative feelings and habits in the prone position at a young age when the body is more flexible, and using postural alignment as an indicator for introducing the prone position is difficult.
