AB  - This  chapter  focuses  on  interventions  to  improve  intermediate  trunk  and  hip  control  using  kneeling  postures.  Kneeling  offers  the  benefit  of  achieving  improved  trunk  and  hip  control  without  the  demands  required  to  control  the  knee  and  ankle.  Inherent  to  these  upright,  antigravity  postures  are  important  prerequisite  requirements  for  standing.  For  example,  kneeling  postures  are  particularly  useful  for  developing  initial  upright  postural  control  and  for  promoting  hip  extension  and  abduction  stabilization  control  required  for  standing.  By  eliminating  the  demands  of  upright  standing,  patient  anxiety  and  fear  of  falling  are  typically  diminished.  Kneeling  activities  also  provide  important  lead-up  skills  for  independent  floor-to-standing  transfers.
