The influences of string tension and frame stiffness on racquet and ball motions, and on impact loads at the elbow joint during the tennis backhand drive

The motion of the ball and frame during and just after impact was inferred from the acceleration-time change of an accelerometer instrumented impactor pendulum, and the strain-time change of the frame during the clamped racket impact. The impulsive loads acting on the elbow joint were estimated by adopting an inverse dynamic analysis (impulse-momentum equation) for the racket and forearm during the backhand drive.
