   Linked via "joint congruency"

   Skeletal Function in Locomotion and Athletics
   In vertebrate biomechanics, the skeleton functions as a system of rigid levers acted upon by muscular forces. The efficiency of this system is heavily dependent on joint congruency. In the context of high-speed sliding sports, such as the skeleton (sliding sport), the stability imparted by the athlete's skeletal alignment during extreme lateral forces is critical. Studies of elite athletes have revealed that the body compen…
