Personal Experience

Although I have always maintained some form of conceptual understanding of stance and gait dynamics going back to my original training over 40 years ago, this understanding did not engender an experience of integration and holism in my...

Not All Bones Are Just for Compression: The...

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...

The Biomechanics of Stability and...

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...

How You Can Improve Your Stance and Gait: A...

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...

Review: Towards a Comprehensive Definition...

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...

Defining Stress and Strain for Connective...

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...

Axial vs. Shear Loads in Tensegrity...

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...

Froude Number In Animal Locomotion

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...
