Understanding the Infrasternal Angle

The infrasternal angle (ISA) is crucial in assessing structural tendencies and movement behaviors in individuals. It's important to clarify that the ISA is not merely a fixed measurement; rather, it's a dynamic representation of how the body moves and responds during various activities. For instance, instead of labeling someone as 'wide' or 'narrow,' practitioners should explore how the ISA behaves during movement, as this reflects individual structural constraints and compensatory strategies. This nuanced understanding allows for more tailored training and rehabilitation approaches that align with the individual's unique biomechanics.
