Advances in research on lower-limb biomechanics of Tai Ji Quan exercise intervention for knee osteoarthritis
摘要
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent chronic degenerative disorder among older adults, with biomechanical factors playing a crucial role in its pathogenesis and progression. This article aims to direct clinical studies on Tai Ji Quan (Shadow Boxing) therapeutic intervention for KOA by analyzing biomechanical factors in the pathogenesis of KOA and generalizing the biomechanical characteristics of Tai Ji Quan exercise and its impact on the gait pattern, overall mechanical balance, muscle function, plantar pressure, and proprioception of KOA patients, as well as summarizing the limitations in current clinical research.
