Stephen M. Levin, MD FACS
"Anatomy Trains is a practical application embodying the scientific principles of biotensegrity. It melds the newer concepts of body mechanics with established clinical practices and happily marries science and art."
Steve Levin is the originator of the concept of Biotensegrity, the application of tensegrity-balanced forces in organisms from viruses to humans. “Biotensegrity”, the application of Buckminster Fuller's tensegrity concepts to biologic structure and physiology, can be used successfully to model the spine and other organ systems. In this system of total body modeling, the spine and limbs are not an assemblage of rigid body segments. They are semi-rigid non-linear, visco-elastic bony segments, interconnected by non-linear, visco-elastic connectors, i.e. the cartilage, joint capsules and ligaments together with an integrated non-linear, visco-elastic active motor system, the muscles and tendons and connective tissue.
