David RuffnerI am curious about why posture varies among different people. I think that the normal posture depends on the lengths and stiffnesses of the various muscles and tendons. But these tissues are systems that change with applied demand, so I expect posture will change depending on people's activity patterns. I started thinking like this after learning about tensegrity. Anyone know where I could learn more about this? <a href="https://raphus.social/tags/posture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#posture</a> <a href="https://raphus.social/tags/tensegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tensegrity</a>
