The knee-chest position is a physical stance used in gynecology that involves the patient kneeling with their hips elevated above their head and chest. Typically, the patient will rest their weight on their knees and chest, with their thighs perpendicular to the table and their arms either stretched out in front or resting by their sides. This position is often used during various gynecological examinations and procedures to provide the healthcare provider with better access to the reproductive organs.
