Bouncing bones—ancient wisdom meets modern science in a new take on locomotion
Recognizing that conventional understanding of animal and human locomotion is based on a dated and reductionist machine modeling of organisms, we set out to create a theory of locomotion by reasoning from first principles. We center on the constraints necessitated by 1) the 2nd law of thermodynamics, 2) the theory of evolution, 3) a systems…

“Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones….” as the song goes.[1] The skeleton is traditionally thought of as connected bones surrounded by the periosteum and activated by muscles. But are bones really the passive, dessicated, rigid structures we have in the past considered them to be? We are now starting to understand otherwise, and the…

George Roth: Changes in Bone Size and Structure; the Application of Biotensegrity Principles to the Treatment of Osseous/Fascial Injuries
The goal of this presentation is to provide the learner with a basic understanding of the scientific basis behind a new treatment system, based on biotensegrity principles. The presentation will provide an overview of the potential to deliver measurable outcomes in many types of conditions associated with structural dysfunction, due to injury and to restore…
