“…The balancing movements of Tai Chi can improve lower limb proprioception ( Ye, Sun & Gao, 2017 ) and enhance muscle strength ( Zhang et al, 2017 ), thus promoting static and dynamic balance ( Penn et al, 2019 ). The single-leg balancing movement in Tai Chi is difficult for amateurs, especially in the practice process; the instability of the supporting leg and balancing leg leads to the inability to complete the balancing movement, and it is easy for amateurs to cause sports injuries if they cannot perform the standardized practice ( Ke, 2022 ).…”

Background Tai Chi is an excellent traditional Chinese physical fitness exercise, and its unique balancing movements are very important for improving human balance. In this study, the two most representative Tai Chi balance movements, “knee lift balance” and “leg stirrup balance”, were selected to establish the lower limb bone muscle model of Tai Chi balance movements by using computer simulation modeling technology, aiming to analyze the characteristics of the lower limb movement mechanisms of typical balance movements, to provide a quantitative theoretical basis for improving the scientific level of Tai Chi. Method A total of 16 subjects were recruited for this study. the BTS three-dimensional motion capture system and three-dimensional force platform were used for motion data acquisition, the physiological electromyographic signals were collected using BTS surface electromyography, and the lower limb bone muscle model of Tai Chi balance movements was established by AnyBody human simulation. Result In the knee lift balancing movement, the balance leg hip abduction/adduction angle, hip flexion/extension moment, and the strength of the rectus femoris muscle, biceps femoris short capitis, and iliacus muscle of the amateur group was significantly smaller than that of the professional group (P < 0.01). In the leg stirrup balance movement, the knee flexion/extension angle of the balancing leg in the amateur group was significantly greater than that in the professional group (P < 0.01), and the hip flexion/extension angle, hip inversion/abduction angle, knee flexion/extension moment, hip flexion/extension moment, the strength iliacus, gluteus maximus, and obturator internus were significantly smaller than those in the professional group (P < 0.01). The integral EMG of the biceps femoris of the support leg in the amateur group was significantly smaller than that of the professional group (P < 0.01). The integral EMG of the lateral femoral muscle of the balance leg was significantly smaller than that of the professional group (P < 0.01). Conclusion In this study, we found that the balancing leg of the balancing movement has a larger hip joint angle, the stirrup balancing knee joint angle is smaller, and the hip and knee joint moments are larger. This is related to joint activity and muscle activation, and amateurs should pay attention to increasing the range of motion of the hip joint and decreasing the range of motion of the knee joint when practicing to better stimulate exercise of the lower limb joints. In addition, the practice of balancing movements should strengthen the iliacus muscle, which plays an important role in maintaining the stable balance of the lower limbs, and strengthen the knee flexor and extensor muscles and hip adductor/abductor muscles of the balancing leg, thus promoting the stability of the balancing leg movements.
