Motion capture equipment was used to collect motion data and ground reaction force data of each participant, including data for 8th movement of Baduangong (BDG (8th)), warding off in advancing of Tai Chi (TC (WOA)), and normal walking gait (NG (Walk)). The AnyBody Modeling System was used for personalization to construct a musculoskeletal model based on the participants\u2019 body weight and fat percentage. Kinematic and inverse dynamics analyses were conducted to obtain lower limb joint range of motion (ROM), joint reaction forces, and moments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two progressive movements had similar gait cycles (9\u201310\u00a0s), longer than NG (Walk) (1.15 \u00b1 0.04\u00a0s, p &amp;lt; 0.01), with larger joint ROM (especially hip\/knee flexion-extension). Their lower limb joint forces, moments were higher than NG (Walk) (p &amp;lt; 0.05); Comparing the two progressive movements, TC (WOA) exhibited higher peak joint reaction forces (p &amp;lt; 0.05); while BDG (8th) demonstrated greater peak hip abduction and extension moments (p &amp;lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The two progressive movements share the Qigong characteristic of \u201cslowness and continuity\u201d, but they exhibit different biomechanical features due to different movement design concepts. BDG (8th) is characterized by \u201cfast rhythm, long stride length, and flexible transformation\u201d, and exhibits high hip abduction moments. TC(WOA) is characterized by \u201cslow rhythm, short stride length, and phased regulation\u201d and shows kinematic features associated with multi-directional joint movement control. These findings lay a preliminary biomechanical foundation for exploring the potential differentiated applications of the two Qigong movements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2025.1726221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T08:16:54Z","timestamp":1768205814000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Kinematic and kinetic characteristics exhibit differences in two typical progressive movements of Baduangong and Tai Chi: a comparison based on personalized musculoskeletal simulation analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]},{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]},{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences","place":["Shenzhen, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Boya","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Canwen","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, Cenxi Hospital of Chinese Medicine","place":["Wuzhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qifei","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, Shenzhen second people\u2019s Hospital","place":["Shenzhen, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weichao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, Shenzhen second people\u2019s Hospital","place":["Shenzhen, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zexing","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuchai","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]},{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongjin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]},{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dingkun","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]},{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Da","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedics Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]},{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine","place":["Guangzhou, Guangdong, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ptsp.2023.03.010","article-title":"Hip muscle strength in male and female patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: comparison to healthy controls and athletes","volume":"61","author":"Bizzini","year":"2023","journal-title":"Phys.
