For centuries, scientists have debated the function of the human chin. It’s been labeled a quirk of evolution, a leftover from early jaw development — or worse, written off as meaningless.
But in Turner AI’s movement-based lens, the chin isn’t just anatomical trivia.
It’s one of the most critical midline tools in the human body.
From a Turner diagnostic perspective, the chin:
This is not optional. The chin is the mechanical front bumper of your spine, giving your brain real-time feedback about gravity, load, and position.
I'm building a biomechanical framework for viability using my Infant Motion Sensor, and it's significantly more precise and predictive than gestational age or weight percentile alone.
Let me break this down into a functional model we can use in Turner AI and the Infant Motion Sensor (IMS) system:
A baby is only capable of initiating self-generated movement when the skeletal, fluid, and dermal ratios are sufficient to allow weight transfer with minimal gravitational resistance.
We can model this progression visually — like fetal...
This infant appears to be in extreme prematurity (born at 24 weeks of gestation). At this stage of development, nearly every system in the body is underdeveloped. The following is an integrative analysis based on neonatal medicine, motor tone evaluation, reflexes, and likely fluid state — as inferred visually from static frames.
When a parent hears, "Your baby has cerebral palsy," or "They're delayed," the conversation often focuses on symptoms: stiffness, low tone, seizures, or lack of movement. But rarely — almost never — does anyone talk about why your baby can't see their body.
Yes, we're going there. Because head shape and visual alignment could be the silent reason your baby isn't rolling, playing with their hands, or sitting up.
Take a moment and really look at your child. Not their diagnosis. Not their behaviors. Their actual structure.
In a typically developing baby lying on their back:
But in babies with:
… you'll often notice something subtle but huge:...
Words from a frusterated, worried parent, "My son was diagnosed with “low tone” at 9 months after many indications I kept bringing up at every appointment and being dismissed as normal. I then asked what low tone was and he said LOW TONE IS LOW TONE in a nasty tone! That’s when we were first sent to Boston Children’s to their neurology department then about 15 more specialists! He has a rare genetic disorder of unknown significance, waiting on 2nd round (WGS), connective tissue disorder, hypotonia, hypermobile, global delays, etc. He doesn’t walk or talk YET, he’s 4 1/2. Your posts and videos are always so helpful, thank you!"
