Prostration is the gesture of placing one's body in a reverentially or submissively prone position. Typically prostration is distinguished from the lesser acts of bowing or kneeling by involving a part of the body above the knee, especially the hands, touching the ground.

跪拜是禮儀的一種或一些禮儀中的一部份，用作表示尊敬或順從。在正坐的場合，僅需提起臀部向前彎腰俯身，即為跪拜。如站立時跪拜，則要先跪下再拜。 東亞傳統的跪拜禮儀稱為拜禮，有些拜禮包括叩頭動作。
