  • Upper Limb Kinematics During the Topspin Double-Handed Backhand Stroke in Tennis
    38th International Society of Biomechanics in Sport Conference, Physical conference cancelled, Online Activities: July 20-24, 2020 UPPER LIMB KINEMATICS DURING THE TOPSPIN DOUBLE-HANDED BACKHAND STROKE IN TENNIS Nicholas A. Busuttil1, Machar Reid2, Molly Connolly2,3, Ben J. Dascombe4 & Kane J. Middleton1 Sport and Exercise Science, School of Allied Health, Human Services, and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia1 Game Insight Group, Tennis Australia, Melbourne, Australia2 Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia3 Applied Sport Science and Exercise Testing Laboratory, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Newcastle, Ourimbah, Australia4 The purpose of this study was to compare non-dominant wrist kinematics during tennis double-handed backhand strokes in players using either an eastern or continental grip position. Trajectory data for two grips (eastern & continental) and depths (deep & short) were captured for sixteen sub-elite right-handed tennis players using a 12-camera Vicon motion capture system (250 Hz). The eastern grip demonstrated significantly faster horizontal racket head velocities compared to the continental grip. However, no differences were observed in accuracy or spin rate between grips (p > 0.05). In the non-dominant upper limb for the continental condition, elbow flexion was smaller while wrist extension was larger throughout the swing. Collectively, these data suggest that the continental grip may place the wrist in a position that is more vulnerable to overuse injury. KEYWORDS: ulna, wrist, kinematics, grip, tennis. INTRODUCTION: Acute wrist pain is among the most common issues reported by elite and recreational tennis players, and it is a likely result of the wrist being the first major upper limb joint to absorb ball impact forces (Stuelcken, Mellifont, Gorman, & Sayers, 2017; Elliott, 2006).
