Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the operator chair height will allow the student to sit with their hips slightly higher than their knees, which will create an anteverted pelvis. This will help to alleviate back pain caused by leaning too far forward when treating patients. Keeping the lower belly in and up (choice B) can be helpful, but will not necessarily create an anteverted pelvis. Moving around the patient in all clock positions (choice C) may help to change the angle of the hips to some extent, but may not be as effective as adjusting the chair height. Standing (choice D) may be helpful in some situations, but may not be practical for extended periods of time and may not necessarily create an anteverted pelvis.
