standing position

A standing position involves upright posture with the body balanced and aligned. Feet are typically shoulder-width apart, evenly supporting the body's weight. The knees are slightly bent or straight, while the hips and shoulders are aligned over the feet. The head is held level, with the gaze forward. Good standing posture engages core muscles for stability and minimizes strain on joints and the spine. This position is essential for proper ergonomics, movement, and stability during daily activities or physical tasks. Properly maintained standing posture reduces fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal issues.
