Mulibone is short for Muscle, Ligament and Bone. Mulibone Configuration refers to configuration of muscle, ligament and bone. As a human develops from infant to adult their muscles ligaments and bones take on a certain configuration which helps determine their functional ability. Mulibone configuration corresponds with functional development but it refers to the actual physiological structure rather than the developmental processes.
While functional ability is mainly maintained by ligaments, these being the chief items that need to be reconfigured, both muscle and bone play a part in the act of reconfiguration. Muscles are used to stretch the ligatures into shape, and bones are used as anchor and lever points. It is also quite likely that muscles change shape and configuration in relation to the level of functional development and therefore muscles in more functional configurations may have different shapes from those in less functional configurations.
Good Mulibone configuration corresponds with physiological acuity and will always be accompanied with the motor skills/neurological development required to carry out whatever skill is associated with that acuity.
The Mulibone concept has been created to help understand how functional development is retained within the body and provide a conceptual framework for exercise systems that work on the body with the aim of improving functionality.
While the concept of functional development is useful in understanding how a particular person\'s functionality takes shape over time, the mulibone configuration is useful in understanding how that functionality is maintained in the body and also provides a focus on how it might be shifted.
Human ability and functionality is not a manifestation of God given talent or genetics, it is a manifestation of the configuration of muscle, ligament and bone and the motor skills that accompany it.
The most important muscle, ligament and bone groups for functional development are those in the chest and in the forehead.
