Community-based Tai Chi, Balance, and Fall Risk

Fall Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of a Community-based Tai Chi Program on Balance, Functional Outcomes, and Sensorimotor Function in Older Adults

Clinical Trial Summary

Aims: Examine the effects of a community Tai Chi program on measures of balance and sensorimotor function.

Methods: In a pre-test and post-test design, balance was measured in older adults (N=344; 73.4±7.4 years) with 30-second chair stand, timed-up and go, and 4-stage balance test following a 12-week community-based tai chi intervention. Balance measures and additional sensorimotor measures, including hip abductor electromechanical delay and hip proprioception, were measured in a smaller sample of older adults (n=11; 67.3±3.7 years).
