chujiten: 横綱ははたき込みを食って土俵に四つんばいになった.  The Yokozuna was clapped on the back and went down in the ring on all fours.
prog: 彼は倒れて四つんばいになった  He dropped [fell] to his hands and knees.
  Comments:
I think the その姿勢 refers to the state of being on all fours (i.e. without crawling). "sprawling" suggests that the arms and legs are outstretched. I don't think it's a good fit.

I agree "falling flat" doesn't really fit with the "四つん". Maybe this?

  Comments:
I don't think it's 2 senses at all, except if you regard また、その姿勢 (daijs) as something separate. I think GG5's translations only make sense if you take into account the (倒れて), and even then "falling flat" is a weird choice.

  Comments:
It's sort-of two senses. Maybe this works. If approved 四つ這い should be aligned.
