Correlation between the biomechanical characteristics and stability of the 143D movement during the balance phase in competitive Tai Chi.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the biomechanical factors affecting the stability of athletes in the 143D balance phase of competitive Tai Chi.

Method

The Vicon 3D motion capture system, Kistler 3D force platform, and Noraxon surface electromyography (sEMG) system were used to measure the joint angle, joint moment, center of gravity, ground reaction force, and sEMG data of athletes. The stability index was then calculated according to the formula. Pearson's or Spearman's correlation tests were used to analyze the associations between the biomechanical factors and stability index.

Results

(1) Medial lateral stability index (MLSI): A significant negative correlation was found between the ankle inversion angle of the supporting leg (SL) and MLSI (p < 0.05). (2) Anterior post
