However,
by rulebreaking the plane with any other part of your body is legal. Even touching the court inside the lane is okay by a strict reading of the rules as long as your feet do not break the plane.
For example, if a player loses his balance and falls forward into the lane and catches himself in push-up position so that his feet never moved, this is not a violation.
99.9% of all officials will call it one though. I would likely rule it disconcertion if it was done by an opponent.
