Biotensegrity: The mechanics of fascia - Fascia: The Tensional Network of the Human Body - 3.5ELSEVIERFascia the Tensional Network of the Human Body
Biotensegrity reverses the centuries old concept that the skeleton is the frame upon which the soft tissue is draped, and replaces it with an integrated fascial fabric with 'floating'Stephen M LevinDanièle-Claude MartinFascia: The Tensional Network of the Human Body...
Bodywide fluctuations support manual exploration: Fractal fluctuations in posture predict perception of heaviness and length via effortful touch by the hand the suprapostural task of manually hefting objects to perceive their heaviness and length should depend on roots extending into the postural control...
Course: “as a river flows” refers to the movement of fluids in the body Applied Tensegrity: “tension integrity” is the application of bio-engineering principles to the human suspension system: fascia. “The part moves the whole and the whole moves the part and the circle is unbroken” ...

engineers and professional craftsmen are inherently the prime designers of their projects. Theirs is the conceptioning, the will to do, the initiative and the statement of limits. Conceivers of great industries and their trans-national patterning have been the large pattern-designers of the last wo...
A suspensory system for the sacrum in pelvic mechanics: Biotensegrity The paradigm According to conventional wisdom, the human spine behaves as an architectural column or pillar and transfers the superincumbent weight through the sacrum, to the ilium, through the hips and down the lower extremities...
stability, which allows the members to remain in tension/compression as stress on the structure increases Because of these patterns, no structural member experiences a bending moment. This can produce The Skylon at the exceptionally rigid structures for their mass and for the Festival of Britain, ...
Traditional human anatomy believes that the human body is mainly consisted of bones, muscles, tendons, and organs, and the bones are directly connected to form the joints which are driven to move under the action of muscle contraction and relaxation. However, some new research has found that in...
Human structures, such as the musculoskeletal system, are thought to be made strong and operate efficiently due to the unison of tensioned (e.g., muscles, tendons, fascia) and compressed (e.g., bone) parts (Levin, 2002). Fascia is integral to human biotensegrity as the skeleton and ...
