Sports biomechanical analysis of knee joint injuries in table tennis players
Abstract
Table tennis is a fast-paced, explosive sport that puts a lot of strain and stress on players’ lower limbs, particularly their knee joints. This work built a thorough mathematical model to investigate the dynamic and kinematic properties of the knee joint under various motion situations, with the goal of better understanding the biomechanical behavior of the knee joint in table tennis. A model of knee joint motion that takes into account the two degrees of freedom—flexion, extension, and rotation—is put forth based on the concepts of human biomechanics and kinematics theory. This model uses the Newton Euler equation to explain the mechanical behavior of the knee joint and integrates internal forces like muscle forces and external factors like ground reaction forces for torque balance analysis. This study offers a thorough examination of the force distribution and knee joint trajectory in table tennis using numerical simulation techniques. The findings show that the knee joint undergoes considerable compression and shear forces during intense activity, and that the joint’s stress properties vary significantly depending on the kind of movement. This finding is a valuable resource for table tennis players’ knee joint injury prevention and rehabilitation.
