He drew a series of arrows on the board. "This is —the study of forces. Your body is a machine designed to distribute stress. In a perfect world, the force flows through the center of the joint, buffered by the meniscus, absorbed by the bone."

"But then comes the ," Thorne whispered. "A slight over-pronation of the foot. A muscular imbalance in the hip. Suddenly, the vectors shift. The force no longer flows; it grinds. The cartilage, once a frictionless wonder, becomes a sandpapered wreck. This is where the machine breaks. This is where movement becomes a memory." Kinesiology: The Mechanics and Pathomechanics o...

Thorne looked down at his own mechanical limb, then back at Leo. "We can’t always return to the original design, Leo. But by understanding the forces, we can build a new conversation. We can find a different way to move." He drew a series of arrows on the board
