Prone position

Prone position (/proʊn/) is a body position in which one lies flat with the chest down and back up. In anatomical terms of location, the dorsal side is up, and the ventral side is down. The supine position is the 180° contrast.

Etymology

The word "prone," meaning "naturally inclined to something, apt, liable," has been recorded in English since 1382; the meaning "lying face-down" was first recorded in 1578, but is also referred to as "lying down" or "going prone."

"Prone" derives from the Latin pronus: "bent forward, inclined to," from the adverbial form of the prefix pro- "forward." Both the original, literal, and the derived figurative sense were used in Latin, but the figurative is older in English.

Anatomy

In anatomy, the prone position is a position of the body lying face down. It is opposed to the supine position which is face up. Using the terms defined in the anatomical position, the ventral side is down, and the dorsal side is up.

With respect to the forearm, prone refers to that configuration where the palm of the hand is directed posteriorly, and the radius and ulna are crossed.

Prone

gently he brushes the dust from the mirror
revealing a face that sends down a shiver
the spine of his soul for it has controlled
the course of his life for as long as he knows
but he's not afraid and willing to face
the fiend that's inside of his soul and his veins
the Judas that caused all the grief and the pain
and tell him for once and for all go away
go back to the hatred infested delirious
imagination the figment you are of
sprout of a boy who's been prone to disease
