The jackknife prone position is a body position where an individual lies face down with their torso and legs bent at the hips, forming a V-shape. This position is often used in surgical procedures or medical examinations to provide better access to the lower back and pelvic area. It is named for its resemblance to a folding jackknife. While effective in certain contexts, it may require careful monitoring for patient comfort and safety.
