I promise i will share this video with minimum 1k people....as a tribute to this great creation...the collection will be considered as one of the greatest contribution for human wellbeingness..... Salute....
An important anatomical aspect of slouching that it would be nice to see in the model is that the front ribs collapse and the one on the back protrude. As consequence also the scapula loose the "compactness" to the ribcage and then start to flare out and become less stable
Love this! Would love to see you include the deep neck flexors (i.e. longus colli) as these are some of the first muscles to strengthen to avoid the cervical hyperlordosis that results from the head forward posture. Adding the upper traps attachment on the occiput would be great too as when these fibres shorten, they tension the fascia of the skull, also leading to headaches.
You re right,.. it’s always a question what to discuss and what not, because jaw muscles and platisma would also be interesting,.. but thank you for giving your feedback it’s much appreciated!
You can bend your neck near the top of your neck when nodding but keep most of your lower neck neutral. You can also bend at the base of your neck without nodding. These 2 movements seem mostly independent yet the only terms I hear are flexion/extension, and protraction/retraction. But there are other positions. It seems that "lower flexion or extension" and "upper flexion or extension" would be ideal terms, but I have only rarely heard people use these. What is the medical term for bending at the lower neck while keeping the head neutral and not nodding up or down? What is the term for nodding up and down but keeping the lower neck neutral? What position is ideal when working at the computer for improving Cervical Kyphosis?
The medical term for bending the lower neck while keeping the head neutral (without nodding up or down) is lower cervical flexion or suboccipital flexion, involving movement primarily in the lower cervical vertebrae (C3 to C7). In contrast, nodding up and down while keeping the lower neck neutral involves occipital flexion and extension or cranio-cervical flexion and extension, which occurs at the atlanto-occipital joint between the skull and the first cervical vertebra (C1). When working at a computer to improve cervical kyphosis, maintaining proper ergonomic alignment is crucial-ensure your spine is aligned and relaxed, with your head neutral and monitor at eye level. However, it's equally important to follow a physical therapist's exercise plan to counteract the effects of prolonged sitting and improve your condition over time, unless anatomical factors are involved.
This is so instructive, thanks! And may I suggest you check out the Gokhale Method to learn how to sit, stand, walk, lie down, in the ways humans are meant to? I am one of their teachers. It's so helpful, and it's based on observing people who stay active and pretty much pain-free as they age. I could see a fruitful collaboration between you and them.
I d say it really depends on the person, but of course the weight of the forward tilted head affects the lower back,.. just try it, sit up straight an tilt the head forward, you ll feel it in your lower back,..
"... To make more room for the mouse and the arm on the table [the skeleton] tilts it's torso and counter rotates with the head.." yeah that's me 😅... Any suggestions on how to correct this misalignment? Right now I'm doing some face pulls with elastic bands and they help, but I'm open to additional suggestions 😊
guilty as a charged as well,.. 🤣🤣🤣 I gave up fixing misalignment while working,.. i just try to move a lot and take frequent breaks,.. as I said movement movement movement is the only thing that helps me,..
hi Andrea! the other day you asked me about exercises regarding your sitting. I d like to find out if I could consult you via a video call since I m planning to offer such a service. would you want to try this for free? if yes just send me an email and I can give you more details. again it’s a try and it’s free. info@biodynamik-wien.at
Thank you, ALex. I am a 3rd year physical therapy student in South Korea. I love your video. Opportunities to study anatomy in motion are rare. Your videos are valuable. Thanks for the constant uploads.
merci pour toutes ces informations 💪🏾 malheureusement, j'ai du travailler plusieurs années sur l'ordinateur ce qui m'a fait penché le dos et l'utilisation constante du téléphone a aggravé ma situation.... je voudrais bien savoir si je me mettrai au sport et aux exercices de reducation , est ce que je pourrais avoir une posture normal ???
Naturellement. Parce que s'asseoir devant l'ordinateur n'est rien d'autre qu'un sport de haut niveau, le corps n'est pas fait pour ça et comme dans le sport de haut niveau, il faut faire un entraînement d'équilibre. Pour moi, une combinaison de musculation et d’étirements fonctionne mieux. Ajoutez une pincée de sports d'endurance comme le vélo et la marche rapide ou, mieux encore, la danse. Amusez-vous
Alex, I love love love your animations. I'd love to do an Anatomical Gangster Conversation with you. You're a delight to listen to and I'm loving sharing your work with my community.
I need an ELI5 version of this, but I will review several times until I understand. I have great strength and mobility but lots of spinal joint pain from repetitive desk job and too many chores.
well you asked for it: you not gonna get away with sitting in front of the computer all day without pain, so move your butt as much as possible and get a butler asap! 😉🤣
Great content. I have pain in all those areas from sitting too much. The pain is so bad that I can’t even lift weights or do cardio anymore. Exercise is supposed to be the solution but I’m so damaged that I can’t even do that 😢
