Mechanism of Tai Chi Chuan in Improving Knee Osteoarthritis from the Perspective of Sports Biomechanics by LIU Longcheng, ZHANG Feng, GAO Pengyi, ZHAO Tianlin, WANG Honghao, LI LIU Yinuo, WANG Jiaying, ZHU Xiangyu

“…However, there are still some inadequacies in Tai Chi Chuan practice, which may affect the analysis of sports biomechanics, specifically manifest in the following four aspects: (1) The training method for Tai Chi Chuan beginners may not be appropriate, which may increase the probability of muscle, ligament and joint injuries. (2) Tai Chi Chuan training movements are difficult. Subjects tend to have nonstandard movements when they learn in a short time, which easily affects the accuracy of research data. (3) The gradual increase of dropout rate is not conducive to data statistics. (4) Complete Tai Chi Chuan is time-consuming and difficult to analyze individually. …”
