Question

Which of the following movement is observed while performing 'Stand at Ease' position?

• A. Abduction
• B. Adduction
• C. Flexion
• D. Extension

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To identify the movement within the 'Stand at Ease' posture, comprehension of distinct body movement categories is required:

• Abduction: lateral movement relative to the body's midline.
• Adduction: medial movement towards the body's midline.
• Flexion: a bending action reducing the angle between two body segments.
• Extension: a straightening action increasing the angle between two body segments.

In the 'Stand at Ease' stance, legs are separated and hands are positioned at the sides. When referring to the directive that involves returning the arms or hands to the body (from an extended 'Attention' posture), the predominant action is Adduction, signifying the movement of the arms from an outward placement back towards the body's midline.

Consequently, the accurate classification is: Adduction
