I had the pleasure of presenting as to a couple of weeks ago.
The talk was on what makes and breaks a . What injuries we can expect to see when we place the spine under axial compression and shear.
More importantly perhaps, we talked about what enables the spine to bare such enormous loads without breaking. What makes a superhuman.
Genetics, bone architecture, disc shape, muscle content, neural properties and much more.
Nick Birch then spoke extensively on bone health and particularly the advances in measuring bone health accurately.
I had a lot of fun prepping for this talk and will be doing more lectures like it in the future.
