Conclusion

This work is only in a preliminary phase including extensive study in fascia research, initial proof of concept for the modeling portion, and initial findings from biomechanical studies. This is a new approach for modeling biomechanics with a focus on Tàijíquán allowing insights that are beyond current research. This is expected because there are numerous observations in Tàijíquán that don’t fit nicely in the current understanding of biomechanics and fascial research.

We hope to provide insights regarding differences between beginning and advanced Tai Chi that may lead to more consistent health benefits and reduce injuries.
