Y-direction deviation analysis

Push-up

Elbow joint

Parallel arm movements

Outward or inward deviation of the elbow

May be caused by the imbalance of the pectoral muscles and shoulders, easy to increase the burden on the shoulders, affecting the stability of the movement

Vertical straight line push down vs. push up

Excessive bending or insufficient rise

Tends to increase stress on shoulders and elbows, leading to risk of injury

Knee

Knees parallel to each other, avoiding internal and external rolls

Knee valgus or buckle

Affects the stability of the legs and increases the Figureure on the knees

Hold up

Too much bending

Affects core stability and reduces exercise effectiveness

Hip joint

Hip stabilizing movements from side to side

Hip has a side-to-side offset

Causes the body’s center of gravity to become unbalanced, affecting the overall trajectory of movement and increasing stress on the lower back

Maintaining a stable pelvic position

Hip instability from side to side

Causes excessive back flexion or hip instability that interferes with the natural curvature of the spine

Squat

Hip joint

Hip stabilizing movements from side to side

Excessive abduction or adduction of the hip

Affects the stability of the deep squat, resulting in an imbalance of force on the knee and ankle joints

Up-and-down stabilization

Forward leaning or excessive rise

Increased stress on knees, back

Knee

Knees parallel to each other, avoiding internal and external rolls

Knee valgus or buckle

Uneven pressure on the knee joint, increasing the risk of injury

Vertical Squat and Rise

Hyperextension or hyperflexion

Strain or excessive compression of the knee

Chin-up

Shoulder joint

Knee valgus or buckle

One side rises too high or is offset

Excessive pulling up of one shoulder with incomplete cooperation of the other shoulder

Rising and stabilizing

Asymmetry in left and right shoulder motion

Shoulder asymmetry, affecting stability and efficiency of movement

Elbow joint

Double Elbow Parallel Track

Excessive eversion or inversion on one side

Excessive valgus or valgus on one side of the elbow, resulting in asymmetric exertion

Uniformity of trajectory

Inconsistent left and right elbow offsets

Elbows turned out or in, affecting fluidity of movement
