TENSEGRITYTensegrity, a portmanteau of “tensional integrity,” is a structural principle that has found significant applications in biological systems. At its core, tensegrity structures are composed of components under pure...
ORTHOTIC FOOTWEARThe orthotic footwear industry, encompassing products like orthopedic shoes and foot orthotic insoles, represents a significant market with considerable growth projections: Orthopedic Footwear Market: As of 2022, the orthopedic...
There are multiple, conflicting descriptions of “normal” human gait. Describing gait in other animals is straightforward, as their movement patterns are finely honed stimulus/response patterns well integrated with their environment...
Mechanotransduction refers to the processes by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. Both fibroblasts (cells responsible for producing the extracellular matrix and collagen in connective tissues) and osteoclasts (cells...
Our reflexes, qualities of the tensile fabric of our connective tissue matrix, muscle strength, and conceptual framework influence how we move. Our characteristics of movement can be captured with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) in the three...
In the context of General Relativity, our understanding of motion, stability, and interaction with gravity undergoes a profound transformation from the notions embedded within an Aristotelian or even Newtonian framework. The relativistic...
The model of the gravitational force we employ, as we move about, is deeply embedded within our social construct. This model can be described thus: “Gravity pulls us downward and we have to push ourselves upward against this force to move...
Safe and Sound Protocol, based on Polyvagal Theory, uses specific frequencies to promote social engagement over vigilance, aiming to reduce trauma-related stress with a 5-hour, 5-day regimen, showcasing significant therapeutic success​.
This research reveals that movement is an extension of neurological organization based primarily on head position relative to the body. It validates long held theories, thereby adding confidence to our understanding that movement is an...
