Lying position: Supine position

Explanation:

Supine position is a lying position that is seen by lying on the back with face up.

Louisa comes home and lies down on her bed. She is lying on her back looking up at the ceiling with her head resting on her arms: Supine position is Louisa lying body position.

The supine position means lying horizontally with the face and torso facing up, as opposed to the prone position, which is face down.

The patient's arms are either tucked at their side or abducted to less than 90 degrees on padded arm boards.
