Biomechanical analysis of topspin forehand and its relation to forearm injuries
The lifted forehand overloads the wrist-forearm complex when timing, racket path, and grip mechanics are faulty. If coaches understand the kinematic chain and forearm load distribution, then they can modify technique and training to reduce strain, guide early physiotherapy, and prevent progression to chronic forearm tendinopathy in tennis players. Essential Biomechanical Findings at a Glance…
