Maintaining proper body mechanics includes all of the following EXCEPT?

Aligning your trunk with your abdomen
Leaning forward to reach objects
Twisting your torso while working
Working with raised shoulders

The correct answer is: Aligning your trunk with your abdomen

Maintaining proper body mechanics is essential for preventing injuries and ensuring efficient movement. Option A, aligning your trunk with your abdomen, is incorrect because it is actually an important factor in maintaining proper body mechanics. This involves keeping your spine in a neutral position and engaging your core muscles to support your back. Options B, C, and D are all incorrect because they involve actions that can strain or add unnecessary stress on your muscles and joints, leading to potential injuries. Leaning forward to reach objects can cause strain on your back, twisting your torso while working can put strain on your spine, and working with raised shoulders can lead to tension and strain in the neck and shoulder muscles. Therefore, these actions should be avoided in order to maintain proper body mechanics.
