In traditional anatomical teaching, bones are framed as compression-resistant structures: rigid frameworks that hold the body up while muscles and fascia operate as the tension-bearing components that move and stabilize the skeleton. This dichotomy is useful for basic understanding, but it doesn’t hold up under deeper scrutiny, especially when...

Integrating the principles of tensegrity, graph theory, and biomechanics with Brian Esty’s exploration of jerk and RMS acceleration in gait analysis offers a comprehensive framework for understanding human movement. This synthesis provides insights into the structural and functional aspects of the musculoskeletal system, emphasizing the...
IntroductionWalking is something you do constantly—moving around your home, strolling outside, or rushing through errands. But if you’re like most people, you probably never really considered how you walk. You just do it, assuming it comes naturally. But what if the way you walk and stand could be better, more efficient, and even more...
Carla Stecco, Rebecca Pratt, Laurice D. Nemetz, Robert Schleip, Antonio Stecco, Neil D. Theise The landscape of anatomical terminology is notoriously challenging, characterized by historical ambiguities, inconsistent use across disciplines, and linguistic fragmentation. In their seminal paper, Towards a comprehensive...
Introduction Optimizing connective tissue is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and facilitating efficient movement in the human body. This optimization is deeply rooted in the principles of tensegrity, where the balance between tension and compression allows for dynamic stability and adaptability. In the context of stance and gait...
Introduction Understanding how structures respond to different types of loads, such as axial and shear forces, can provide valuable insights into the biomechanics of movement and stability. In the context of stance and gait mechanics, recognizing how forces are transmitted through the body can help optimize posture and movement patterns, enhancing...
Animal locomotion is a fascinating field that explores how animals move efficiently across different environments and scales. One key tool in this analysis is the Froude number, a dimensionless quantity that relates inertial forces to gravitational forces. This article delves into the Froude number’s role in understanding gait patterns and...

Positioning the Device: The picture is taken from the side under the neck – the tips of the “V” point towards the ears and the bottom towards the back. This graphic indicates an optimal contact point. Locate a spot between the skull bones and the soft tissue. It can feel like you are balancing the skull on top of a pivot. ...
A naturally occurring compound involved in digestion lengthens lifespan in flies and makes old mice more youthful. Why eating less slows aging: this molecule is key Lithocholic acid, also known as 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid or LCA, is a bile acid that acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption. Bacterial...
