The human skull

Area of Science:

Anatomy
Biomechanics
Osteopathy

Background:

Skull hominization and bipedal posture involve complex muscular and aponevrotic forces on the cranio-facial skeleton.
Understanding these forces clarifies the larynx's postural position, functions, and biomechanical constraints, leading to common dysfunctions.
The larynx possesses active, active-passive, and passive protective systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the morphogenetic origins and implications of forces affecting the cranio-facial skeleton and larynx.
To elucidate the biomechanical principles governing laryngeal function and its extrinsic relationships.
To explore the concept of tensegrity in relation to laryngeal biomechanics and dysfunction.

Main Methods:

Review of anatomical and biomechanical principles related to cranio-facial development and posture.

Related Experiment Videos

Analysis of the laryngeal system's architectural features and protective mechanisms.

Application of tensegrity principles to understand laryngeal function and dysfunction.

Main Results:

The laryngeal system functions as a self-balancing entity through a continuum of tension.
The concept of tensegrity (tensional integrity) accurately describes the laryngeal system's biomechanical organization.
Chronic pathological strain on the larynx by extrinsic systems can impair its function.

Conclusions:

Laryngeal function is intrinsically linked to the tensegrity system, maintained by balanced forces.
Osteopathic treatment should prioritize releasing peripheral structures before addressing the larynx directly to restore mobility.
Restoring balance in the tensegrity system allows the larynx to regain its normal functions.
