In this case the strings would be the muscles and tendons. The body is not a puppet, however, so the tightened ligaments and muscles restrained the joints to some extent—all of them. Little by little they demanded less lubrication, for use did not stimulate it.

Each muscle, ligament, and joint was to some extent affected, drawn too tightly. The head could move, and the neck, in certain positions. The eyes looked forward, moving with the head’s motion. The eyes did not roll easily, but since no attempt was made to roll them, the restriction was not noticed, except when Ruburt tried to roll his eyes when they were closed, for an exercise once or twice.

Improvements could occur, and did, but at one time or another the portions of the body had to begin to break away from the overall blocked picture. Spontaneity had to be allowed if any normality of motion was to occur. You did not want a body in the same position, simply moving faster, for example. Therefore in the late months the various ligaments and muscles, and tendons began to loosen.

(10:17.) Added to this is the fact that joints now require lubrication. His head feels fuller, and other portions of the body also. These changes mean that the pressure in his ears and head changes. The lubrication allows more spontaneous actions on the part of the joints, ligaments, and muscles. To some extent the changing pressure accounts for the eyes’ protuberance, so that they have plenty of moisture and do not become dry as the eye muscles and other portions of the eyes exercise their new activity.

Give us a moment.... (Long pause.) To some extent this has allowed the eyes to read now and then without glasses. The alterations in Ruburt’s knees, however, send various messages to the brain, for as he walks, due to the present activity, his position is not constant. He is not always so many feet, for example, from the floor. As the ligaments and muscles in the legs activate, they are learning to work together under entirely different conditions.
