applying tensegrity concepts to biological structural integrity


i found this cool website while looking for anatomical depictions of the torso. check it out! it attempts to analyze the structure of the body as a tensegrity object (buckminster fuller). it discusses tensegrity in the body as a whole, and then examines key structural articulations (joints), providing tensegrity models for these as well. i'd actually be interested in purchasing some of these models, in order to model the structural aberrations i see with my patients. visualizing "where" a line is slack or tight is key to knowing where and how to work...

here's the website address:
