The patient's cooperation and comfort are crucial when assuming the knee-chest position. Here are the steps typically followed:
The patient is asked to undress from the waist down and cover themselves with a drape. They are then instructed to kneel on the examination table with their knees apart. The patient lowers their chest to the table, keeping their hips elevated. The arms can be extended forward or placed by the sides to stabilize the position. The healthcare provider ensures the patient is comfortable and begins the examination or procedure.
