Rolling: Supine to prone leading with the leg

This pattern isolates hip flexion, which leads to pelvic rotation/lumbar flexion, and culminates in trunk rotation to allow for completion of the roll. The client lies supine on the ground with his or her legs extended and his or her arms flexed over his or her head on the ground. The head is in neutral rotation. Like the upper extremity initiated supine to prone roll, this task utilizes a flexed posture and is often easier than the prone to supine task. When rolling to the left, the axis of rotation is formed by the lower extremity of the side that the individual is rolling towards and the upper extremity of the side the individual is rolling from, or in this case the left lower extremity and right upper extremity, respectively.

Lead with right hip flexion followed by the adduction of the extended leg.

The upper body should and not contribute to the roll. During lower body initiated rolls, the head and neck play less of a role, and are therefore not cued.
