Abstract :
In this paper, application of Bond Graph methodology to study tennis elbow injury is discussed. Bond graph techniques are extensively used in the field of biomechanics, because most of biomechanical systems have multi energy domain structure and bond graph is the unified approach of modeling such systems. In the current paper, Influence of different impact parameters with respect to the mechanic of tennis stroke, has been considered. Such studies may lead to prepare information of appropriate training program with the aim of preventing injury.
