When moving from the floor to standing, healthy middle-aged adults maintain the head _________ the trunk.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When healthy middle-aged adults move from the floor to standing, they maintain the head in alignment with the trunk. This is important for maintaining balance and stability during the transition. Option A (in front of or anterior to) and C (behind or posterior to) are incorrect because these positions would cause the head to be out of alignment with the trunk. Option D (in a laterally flexed position with regard to) is also incorrect because it is not a natural or stable position for the head during this movement.
