Biomechanical joint loading mechanism of Tai Chi gait in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: A pilot simulation study

Objectives: Tai Chi (TC) has shown beneficial effects on joint function in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Biomechanical mechanisms of knee joint contact load (JCL) and muscle activations during TC are less understood. The purpose of this biomechanical simulation study was to examine JCL of TC gait, the m...
