| Wednesday | 23rd May, 2018

From his songs to his clothes and from his moves to his style, people went gaga over his exceptional performances. Michael Jackson was without any doubts a legend and doctors have decoded his gravity-defying moves. check out!

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Michael Jackson was the one to revolutionize the Music and Dance Industry of the entire world. From his songs to his clothes and from his moves to his style, people went gaga over his exceptional performances.

Neurosurgeons at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, published a study in the Journal of Neurosurgery that took a look at the iconic lean that Jackson debuted in his 1988 Smooth Criminal music video.

Even the trained dancers with strong core strength will reach a maximum of 25 to 30 degrees of forward bending, but Michael Jackson made the impossible possible and made a bend up to 45 degrees.

How Michael Jackson did the 45 degree bend?

According to report published in BBC “If a person were to attempt the Smooth Criminal lean, they would notice that the bulk of the strain to strike the pose moves to the Achilles tendon in each ankle, rather than the erector spinae muscles of the back.

This allows for only a very limited degree of forward bend, even for someone matching Michael`s strong athletic abilities, explains Assistant Prof Tripathi.

Michael got the extra degrees of tilt thanks to some fancy footwear.

A v-shaped slit in the bottom of each heel of his spats slotted onto a strong nail or "hitch member" driven into the ground, allowing the dancer to pivot and lean further forward, for the gravity-defying move.”

Before he got his special footwear patented, he used to harness and wires to create the illusion. Doctors also told that despite those special footwear one needs to have core strength for many people tend to injure themselves.
