A subject-specific computer simulation model of the one-handed backhand groundstroke in tennis
journal contribution
posted on 2019-04-12, 13:28 authored by Mark KingMark King, Jonathan A. Glynn, Sean MitchellSean MitchellA subject-specific computer model of a tennis player, combined with an equipmentspecific computer model of tennis ball/racket impacts was used to determine the effect of
ball/racket impacts on loading at the elbow for one-handed backhand groundstrokes. A
matching subject-specific computer simulation of a typical topspin one-handed backhand
groundstroke performed by an elite tennis player was determined with a root mean
square difference between performance and matching simulation of less than 1º over a
50 ms period starting from ball impact. Using a subject-specific angle-driven computer
model combined with a forward dynamics, equipment-specific computer model of tennis
ball/racket impacts allows peak internal loading, net impulse and shock due to ball/racket
impact to be calculated which would not otherwise be possible without impractical
invasive techniques. This investigation provides a basis for further studies into the factors
that may increase elbow loading during tennis strokes.
