Biomechanical Analysis of Lower Limb in Bharatanatyam Dance Using Musculoskeletal Modeling
Among the analyzed movements, PM imposed the greatest muscular and joint stabilization demands, while the PV, with body turn, involved the highest mobility and dynamic loading. These biomechanical insights can support the development of safer techniques and, thus, injury prevention for Bharatanatyam dancers.
