In order to explore the relevant factors and the completion of difficult movements, this paper is an important theoretical basis for improving and constructing the evaluation of athletes’ movement quality. It presents a kinematic analysis of the difficult movements of competitive Tai Chi, taking the difficult movements of the swirl group of competitive aerobics as the research object. The data is collected by different methods. When completing difficult movements, due to different personal exercise habits, this paper takes the right leg as the swinging leg and the left leg as the take-off leg when completing the difficult movements. The test object in this paper adopts the traditional three-step up-step method. The starting time of the take-off stage is consistent with the illustration. By consulting experts for the stage division of the difficult movement, the two movement stages are equally divided into three stages according to the needs of the research: take-off, soaring, and landing. The results show that, from the moment the left foot hits the ground to the moment of maximum cushioning, the angles of the right knee are 176.48° and 165.06°, respectively, and the flexion of the right knee is not large; especially when the left foot touches the ground, the right leg is close to a straight line, indicating that the athlete’s body is in a straight line. The posture is relatively good, the left foot is used as the grounding leg, the angle of the knee joint is reduced from 160.82° to 124.41°, and the left knee buffer angle is 36.40°. As the right leg swings to the ground, the left knee and left hip are slightly stretched, and the right knee and right hip are slightly flexed. This change is also reflected in the fact that the center of gravity changes from the direction of the horizontal speed at this stage. Move the left side of the body slightly to the right. Difficulty movements are different in the landing stage, and their joint parameters are also different. When the landing leg touches the ground, there is no significant difference in the maximum cushioning time, the degree of torsion of the shoulder and the hip is different, the relative rotation position of the shoulder and the hip is opposite, and the posture of the shoulders at the time of landing is different. In teaching, the landing leg and the end direction of the rotation are not the same; it is necessary to strengthen the strength training of the legs, to experience the force feeling of the different degrees of rotation of the shoulder joint and the hip joint, as well as the spatial perception ability, and take the initiative to actively land. The magnitude of the rear cushion and the coordination of the trunk and the limbs are used to avoid unnecessary damage during the landing phase.

“…Waist circumference was evaluated using a flexible centimeter tape while goniometer was used to obtain the knee ROM. Knee function was considered satisfactory if the flexion angle exceeded 110 degrees and knee extension was 0 degree, given that this range of motion is sufficient for performing daily activities 17 . In addition, manual muscle test was performed to assess the quadriceps femoris muscle strength (m.Qps) on a scale from 0 to 5, whereby 0 was assigned when no muscle activity was observed and 5 was given if a muscle was capable of performing the full ROM when maximum resistance was provided manually by the physiotherapist.…”

Objective Translation and cross-cultural validation of the Serbian version of the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (Srb-LEFS). Methods This prospective cross-sectional study initially included 186 postmenopausal women aged 60 to 75 years who underwent an x-ray examination of both knees, along with body mass, body height, waist circumference, knee range of motion, and blood pressure measurements. The laboratory analyses included the evaluation of fasting glucose levels and lipid profile. All participants completed the LEFS, Lequesne index, and 36-Item Short-Form Survey-RAND. Results The analyses revealed good internal consistency (α = 0.95), good test-retest reliability, and a two-factor structure of the Srb-LEFS. Concurrent validity analysis confirmed a significant positive correlation between Srb-LEFS scores and the 36-Item Short-Form Survey-RAND Physical Functioning subscale (r = 0.889, P < 0.0001), the Lequesne index (r = −0.976, P < 0.0001), and the Numeric Rating Scale for pain (r = −0.762, P < 0.0001). Convergent validity analyses revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between the Srb-LEFS scores and age (r = −0.25, P = 0.006), body mass index (r = −0.31, P < 0.01), and waist circumference (r = −0.37, P < 0.0001). The Srb-LEFS scores were statistically significantly higher among participants that reported moderate physical activity levels, as well as those that had fewer comorbidities, minor structural knee damage, greater knee range of motion, and greater quadriceps femoris muscle strength. Conclusions The Serbian version of the LEFS is feasible, valid, and reliable for use in both clinical practice and clinical studies to assess self-reported physical functioning in older individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

“…Waist circumference was measured with a measuring tape, and knee range of motion (ROM) was assessed using a goniometer. A knee flexion ≥ 110 and an extension of 0 were considered as satisfactory ROM [ 21 ]. Blood pressure was assessed while the individual was in a seated and relaxed position, using a validated and calibrated Riester sphygmomanometer on both hands.…”

Background and Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a widespread chronic joint disease characterized by functional limitations and pain. Functioning restrictions exert a detrimental impact on societal integration, relationships, and psychological well-being, resulting in significant emotional distress in KOA patients. The objective of this study is to examine how various risk factors impact the emotional well-being of individuals with KOA. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study involved 154 postmenopausal women treated at the Special Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Novi Sad, Serbia. The experimental group comprised 97 individuals with chronic knee pain and structural knee damage (Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) scale II-IV), while the control group had 53 individuals with chronic knee pain but no structural knee damage (KL scale 0-I). The collected data consisted of sociodemographic factors, general characteristics, associated diseases, and laboratory results. Adequate anthropometric measurements were conducted, and all subjects were required to complete the SF-36 RAND questionnaire. Results: The analysis identified several variables that independently influenced emotional well-being. These included pain intensity (beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 0.03–0.20; p < 0.01), social functioning (beta (β) 0.47; 95% CI: 0.23–0.43; p < 0.001), physical functioning (beta (β) 0.23; 95% CI: 0.04–0.21; p < 0.01), and education level (8–12 years: beta (β) 0.25; 95% CI: 1.47–9.41; p < 0.01; >12 years: beta (β) 0.27; 95% CI: 2.51–12.67; p < 0.01). However, the multivariate model revealed that only social functioning (beta (β) 0.57; 95% CI: 0.27–0.53; p < 0.001) and education level (8–12 years: beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 1.10–8.260; p < 0.05; >12 years: beta (β) 0.21; 95% CI: 1.18–10.30; p < 0.05) were significantly associated with emotional well-being in KOA patients. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that a reduced social functioning and a lower educational attainment are linked to a poorer emotional well-being among patients with KOA.
