Abstract
Tai Chi Training as a Primary Daily Care Plan for Better Balance Ability in People With Parkinson's Disease: An Opinion and Positioning Article.
Highlights
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system
The results showed that the tai chi group performed better than the resistance group in terms of maximum excursion, with a difference of 5.55 percentage points between the groups (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12–9.97, P = 0.01)
Liu [42] et al showed that tai chi exercise-assisted balance and gait training can reduce the occurrence of falls in people with PD, and that the improvement of traction in the tai chi training group was significantly better than that of the control group
Summary
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system. A research study by Li et al [39] found that tai chi can maintain and improve various body functions of elderly people with PD and that it is a very effective exercise therapy. Compared with the stretching group, the tai chi group had more obvious differences between the groups in maximum excursion and direction control This showed that tai chi has significant effects on improving postural stability and functional ability of people with mild to moderate PD. Liu [42] et al showed that tai chi exercise-assisted balance and gait training can reduce the occurrence of falls in people with PD, and that the improvement of traction in the tai chi training group was significantly better than that of the control group. It was speculated that the reason could be the short duration of training, which was only 16 weeks and only 2 to 3 practice sessions per week
