“…Similarly, another study also corroborated that a 10-week TC training could decrease the COP path and area during postural control tests in the older adults 12 . Furthermore, TC exercise could improve joint kinesthesia, 13 muscle strength in lower extremities, 14 and neuromuscular reaction in older women 15 …”

“…Some older people have stopped training for various reasons, including diseases, injuries, and travels, and they may go on retraining. After post-exercise, some intervention effects on the physical function could start to diminish 13 . Nevertheless, few data offered the magnitude and retention of the maintenance of postural control ability during detraining periods.…”

Background/ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the training and detraining effects of Tai Chi (TC) on postural control ability in single leg stance (SLS) by conducting a single-blind randomized controlled trial.MethodForty-eight older women were randomly divided into the TC, brisk walking (BW), and control(C) groups by using computer-generated program. The participants completed a 16-week intervention training and 8-week detraining program. Postural control ability in SLS was tested at the baseline, 16 t h, 20 t h, and 24 t h weeks. The primary outcomes included single-leg stance time (Time) and secondary outcomes included maximal displacement of the center of pressure (COP) in the anterior–posterior (AP) direction (D-ap), maximal displacement of the COP in the medial–lateral (ML) direction (D-ml), total length of the COP trajectories (Lng), and 95% confidence ellipse area of the COP movements (area), mean AP total excursion velocities (V-ap), and mean ML total excursion velocities (V-ml).ResultsSignificant within-group difference compared with the baseline and between-groups difference compared with control group were found at 16 t h, 20 t h, and 24 t h weeks in the TC group and at the 16 t h and 20 t h weeks in the BW group in all the primary and secondary outcomes. Most of secondary outcomes including Lng, D-ml, V-ml, Area increased significantly at the 24 t h week compared with that at the 16 t h week in BW group.ConclusionsTC was effective in improving postural control ability and maintaining intervention gains, and was recommended as an appropriate exercise to prevent falls in the older adults.

Background: The number of elderly in Indonesia continues to increase. A better quality of life can be achieved by preventing reduction of elderly's cognition, balance and strength of the lower extremities. Tai Chi has been suggested as one of the sports to maintain cognition, balance and lower extremity strength for elder people. However, there are still few studies that compare Tai Chi to other exercises. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of practicing Tai Chi verrsus brisk walking. Methods: The study design was observational, cross-sectional. Elderly who practiced Tai Chi and Briskwalk in Tegalega sport field were chosen as the target population. The respondents must be at least 60 years old, no history of cardiovascular disease in the last 3 months, no musculoskeletal complaints, no obvious signs and symptoms of chronic diseases. Afterwards, the respondents were examined using Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test for balance, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for cognition and leg dynamometer for the lower extrimities strength. The collected data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney statistical test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: No significant difference was detected among the three parameters between Tai Chi group (TCG) and Brisk Walking group (BWG). Difference of 0.5 (p=0.314) and 0.6 (p=0.554) was found for TUG Test and MoCA Test between TCG and BWG using Mann Whitney. The leg dynamometer was tested using Kolmogorovsmirnov (p = 1.00). Conclusions: Similar result of balance, cognition, and lower motor strength are found between TCG and BWG.

“…Previous studies indicated that Tai Chi Chuan exercise effectively improved ankle kinesthesia (Zhang, Sun, Yu, Song, & Mao, 2015) and may reduce the risk of falls among older adults (Low, Ang, Goh, & Chew, 2009;Li, Harmer, Fisher, & Mcauley, 2004;Li et al, 2005;Ramachandran, Rosengren, Yang, & Hsiao-Wecksler, 2007). Although Tai Chi Chuan exercise is considered to be a suitable exercise to reduce the risks of falls for older adults, the direct effect on obstacle crossing has rarely been studied.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Tai Chi Chuan on the strategies of obstacle-crossing behavior in older adults aged over 65 years. Fifteen Tai Chi group (TCG) participants were compared with 15 general group (GG) participants. Kinematic parameters (by Vicon motion analysis system) and ground reaction forces (by Kistler force plates) were synchronously recorded. A two-way mixed-design ANOVA (α = 0.05) was used to test the effects of the group and the obstacle height. The TCG performed significantly faster stride velocities, longer stride lengths, and shorter stride times than GG while crossing the obstacles. TCG could also produce significantly larger forward ground reaction forces to propel the body and were able to make a significantly greater flexion angle of the hip of the leading leg compared with the GG. It was concluded that the TCG adopted a different strategy with GG to cross the obstacles and completed the crossing behavior more effectively.
