Balance

Every step we take is a balancing act involving a copious amount of connectivity and muscle activation from head to toe. A majority of walking around is completely unconscious allowing us to scroll social media, text and chase Pokémon without thinking much about what limb needs to be doing what. The major players in this from the feet up are of course the feet ? with their 26 bones, one most specifically to note is the talus (posted yesterday). The next up the chain are the hips encompassing the entire pelvic bowl, muscles and structures. Shoulders and the clavicular line are the next layer up, arms are so important in motion and balance. Lastly, the top is the cranium with eyes ? and ears ? greatly influencing are interaction with space and ultimately balance. An imbalance at any level may cause an act of falling from step to step instead of balancing and locomotive through space. Every neurological system recognizes the sensation of falling at some level. Imagine if your system recognizes these minuscule imbalances at every step. I wonder what it would do to maintain balance?
