I've had lower back issues as you know and I finally pulled the trigger. Between working and gaming, I can be sitting for 10+ hours a day. Figure I'd rotate between standing and sitting. They are really good provided you are standing with good posture. Research shows that standing is better than sitting for engaging the muscles in the abdomen and spine to support the trunk. But if you stand But still slouch all you do is wear yourself out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you stand for a good portion of the day, many people do. Even if you are in good shape, standing all days at a desk will wear the muscles out. You need to be aware of the posture after 4 hours of standing. If possible I have patients keep a full length mirror nearby to check posture especially towards the end of the day.

We can't see in someone's body unless we open it up which patients really aren't up for until the problem.gets so bad they need surgery. Anatomy varies from person to person tendons are I'm different places, they have weird sits in them, sometimes nerves go through them. Bones are formed different. Sometimes people have extra or too few vertebrae. It mostly educated guesses. I'm giving my best guesses based in available information which is filtered through the team and media, and my experience working with athletes for over 30 years if you don't want to agree fine. I could be totally wrong But a few interpretive pictures and a internet search for a couple of hours is not going to sway me to your side. No facts? You mean like how it’s not a fact there is a plantaris tendon. How can there now be no plantaris tendon when a couple pages ago you were telling me to which bone it is attached? One of these statements MUST be false. There is no other option. you want me to consider there are no facts when you have just been telling me it’s a fact that the plantaris muscle can’t be palpated. If that’s not a factual statement what is it. Let’s a factual statement that isn’t a fact. Let’s see where have i seen this definition before. Oh yeah under bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before it is under so many other tissues you can't pick it out from everything around it. Look up the gastroc. You can't pick out the plantaris as it is so small and under it.

There has been so many derailment during the discussion I can't remember what I posted anymore. Go with your ideas. You found it. It's an important muscle to control toe motion from the knee. Write a dissertation on it and you'll get a PhD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I told you and as the video I posted illustrates it emerges above the knee joint and is in fact palpable. The way you can pick it out is by curling and uncurling the toes. When curling the toes the other muscles are flaccid so you can easily tell the difference. Hope this helps. Have a good night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know better. How are unfactual statements supposed to be helpful? I’ve already been educated on the subject so if you tell me something false such as the poptileus muscle might be above the knee joint I’m not just going to dumbly agree. Then when you suggest I might be confusing that for the plantaris muscle when curling toes, when I already know the poptileus muscle doesn’t have anything to do with foot movement, let alone the toes, after you just told me that which I know does in fact doesn’t, it makes me suspect you’re either pulling my leg or don’t know as much as your letting on and expect me to bend over to your nonsense none the less for some bizarre reason. Particularly when I can verify it with third party info. That isn’t how critical thinking works. I mean think about it. I go to therapy for plantar fasciitis. Part of my therapy involves a therapist palpating the plantaris and here you are telling me it can’t be done and I must be confusing it with something else. Now why would my therapist work on something that has nothing to do with it. Just not logical. Plantaris literally means related to the sole of the foot Edited July 8, 2021 by Vulture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the anatomical definition as that isn't what it does during activity. If you look up what the muscle does during activity, you'll see definitions like inconsequential, undetermined, unnecessary. The anatomic action and the function during movement are to vastly different concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
