  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinetic effect of Soft-$golf^{TM}$ instrument on the human body structure. To analyze the kinetic effect of Soft-$golf^{TM}$ instrument, Golf swing using Soft-$golf^{TM}$ instrument and regular golf instrument was captured. And then Upper limbs and lumbar joint torques was calculated via computer simulation. Five man participated this study. Subjects performed golf swing using a regular golf and Soft-$golf^{TM}$ instrument. Golf swing motion was captured using three position sensor, active infrared LED maker and force plate. Golf swing model was generated and simulated using ADAMS/LifeMOD program. As a results, joint torque during Soft-golf swing were lower than regular golf swing. Thus soft-golf swing have joint load lower than regular golf swing and contribute to reduce joint injury.
