arm position
Where arms go
Arm position refers to the placement or arrangement of the arms relative to the body, significant in dance, exercise, sign language, and medical contexts.
Ballet codifies specific arm positions (first position, second position, etc.), while fitness instruction uses the term to describe proper form: Keep your arm position steady throughout the lift.
In clinical settings, arm position affects blood pressure readings and IV placement.
