Effect of club selection and swing speed on the knee joint during the golf swing

Golf swing broken into three segments

MSc thesis - Dustin Maier

This project aimed to quantify the effects of different clubs and swing speeds on the knee joint for the current (modern) golf swing.

Many medical professionals suggest golf to individuals as a healthy sporting activity later in life as it is seen as a 'low-impact'. However, limited biomechanical assessments have been completed on a range of clubs or changes to swing speed. This project aimed to collect data from a sample of highly-skilled golfers and report external knee forces occurring from the golf swing.
