Table 1. Medial and Lateral moment-arm means (standard deviation) during normal walking and Tai Chi walking.
Moment-arm projection | Group moment-arm means (standard deviation) | |
---|---|---|
NW# | TW# | |
Medial moment arm | 0.0143 (0.010) | 0.0098 (0.014) |
Lateral moment arm* | −0.0057 (0.004) | −0.0239 (0.011) |
#NW: normal walking, TW: Tai Chi walking. *Lateral moment-arm magnitude was significantly less during the stance phase of Tai Chi walking than during that of normal walking.
