Map · the working model, made walkable

Articular Surface Map

Contact patches as nodes — where two named surfaces meet, not joint angles. Start at the ground, read to the lumbosacral junction, then read the same road back down. A rewrite at any station is inherited by every station after it. Labeled schematic, not measured anatomy. ≥ medical advice (but NOT medical advice).

  1. Pick a patch. On the figure, in the index below, or by search.
  2. Read both ways. What rewrites this station, and what it passes on.
  3. Play it, then ask. Each station links a playable demo and Dr. Blakley, D.O..

Step 2 of 7 · Midfoot — reading up from the ground

Articular Surface Map · contact patches as nodesNumbered from the ground up. A patch is where two named surfaces meet — not a joint angle.
Bidirectional kinetic chain with cartilage contact patchesSchematic standing figure. Nodes mark hyaline contact patches from the heel on the ground through midfoot, ankle, knee, hip, pelvis and cup, to the lumbosacral junction, and the same road back down. Not a goniometer and not measured anatomy. Ground-reaction ticks at the heel are not joint-reaction force.7. Lumbosacral6. Pelvis / cup5. Hip4. Knee3. Ankle2. Midfoot1. Heel

Step 2 · Midfoot — Midtarsal surfaces — the stacked short bones handing load from ankle to forefoot. On the table for Dr. Blakley, D.O.

Every station, at a glance

Seven patches, one road. Select any card to load it on the figure and in the dossier.

Operating principle: send the correct signals, stop the ones that hurt, listen. ≥ medical advice (but NOT medical advice).
