The right proximal position is attributed to the urinary bladder in this system. There are two related complimentary positions here. Roll proximally to evaluate the structures of the pelvis and the lower body. This will include reproductive organs such as ovaries and the prostate. Since the prostate is in the center of the pelvis, you must roll toward the tendon flexor carpii radialis to examine the prostate, the same is performed on the left proximal position since the prostate is in the center. The ovaries on the other hand are evaluated for each side in a relative anatomical placement within the vessel. Roll distal in order to explore the ileum and ileocecal valve (Dr Shen calls it ‘small intestine’). Bear in mind, this is an anatomical model and does not refer to problems along the trajectory of the vessel. Since these findings are along the vessel, the quality must be different than the primary position. The radial aspect of this region is more indicative of musculoskeletal components of the lower body.
