The Important Role of Collage in the Function of the Spine

Serge Gracovetsky has put on YouTube the conference that he gave in 2007 at the Harvard Medical School in Boston 2007. YouTube can only show videos of 15 minutes maximum. So I have cut the 31 minutes presentation in about three 11 minutes pieces. View them at.

Workshop details

For over 100 years the electrical activity of muscles has been routinely monitored in vivo. In contrast, the activity of collagen is far more difficult to assess directly and its role in maintaining the function of the spine is still the subject of debate. In view of the clinician’s familiarity with muscular response, is it possible that too much emphasis is placed upon the rehabilitation of the muscles rather than the ligamentous tissues?
  
This one-day lecture proposes to examine the role of collagen (ligaments, fascia) in lowering the stresses within the working spine and the conditions under which the collagen critical role cannot be taken over by muscles.  In short, bones, ligaments and muscles form a tightly integrated system sometimes referred to as tensegrity. This intricate mechanism will be analyzed in details for gait as well as other mundane tasks such as lifting loads. Real clinical cases with normal and abnormal spines will be discussed as well.
