“…Accordingly, 59 potentially eligible studies were identified based on their titles and abstracts. Only 9 articles [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] met the inclusion criteria after the entirety of the 59 articles was reviewed. In addition, 50 articles were excluded because they either included participants without stroke or did not use traditional Chinese exercise for stroke treatment.…”

“…Because of the disunity outcome indicators, we couldn't finish the forest plot about gait. But, according to the result, Three trials [39,40] showed a tendency to improve in gait [39][40][41]. So an increasing number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese exercise is effective for improving the ability of balance for patients with stroke, and maybe the gait.…”

“…Three types of interventions were used; six studies used Tai chi [38][39][40][41][42][43], two studies used Baduanjin [44,45], and one used Yijinjing [46]. All studies were from three countries, China [38,[41][42][43][44][45][46], America [40] and Israel [39]. Data from 820 participants were extracted.…”

“…Another article(145 patients) showed that the significantly improved between the effects of traditional Chinese and general exercises were observed using the the short physical performance battery (P < 0.05) [40]. However, there is a article showed that some other form (physiotherapy exercises focused on balance) significant improved balance ability for stroke patients compared with tai chi chuan practice (Berg test = 0.01, Romberg, and standing on one leg) [39].…”

Objective A systematic review is conducted to determine the effect of traditional Chinese exercise for patients with stroke. MethodsStudies are obtained from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web of Science, and CNKI. Only randomized controlled trials were left to evaluate the effects of traditional Chinese exercise for patients with stroke, and with no limits on study data or language. The primary outcome was the Berg balance score (BBS), Functional walking scale. And a random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). ResultsA total of 9 studies on 820 participants conform to the inclusion criteria, whereas eight studies on 704 participants are used as data sources for the meta-analysis, all trials were published between 2004 and 2013. The BBS indicates that the efficacy of traditional Chinese exercise on balance of patients with stroke is better than that of other training or no training in short term [MD (95%CI) = 11. 85 [5.41, 18.30], P < 0.00001]. And the short physical performance battery, Functional walking scale, limit of stability were observed significant differences on balance (p<0.05) and gait (p<0.05) between traditional Chinese exercise and other exercises or no exercise. In addition, there is an article showed that some other form (physiotherapy exercises focused on balance) significantly improved balance ability for stroke patients compared to tai chi chuan practice (Berg test = 0.01, Romberg, and standing on one leg). ConclusionIn our meta analysis, the positive findings of this study suggest traditional Chinese exercise has beneficial effects on the balance ability in short term. However, we drew the conclusion according to the extreme heterogeneity, and evidence of better quality and from a larger sample size is required. Because of the inconsistent outcomes, there are short of enough good evidence for patients with stroke to prove the effects of traditional Chinese exercise on gait.

“…Tai Chi emphasizes slow, rhythmic movements with constant weight shifting, trunk rotation, a changing base of support with a lowered center of gravity (i.e., knees and hips held in flexion) and an elongated central axis around which all motion occurs [30]. Therefore, Tai Chi can improve balance and walking [30], as well as muscle tone and even thinking abilities [31].…”
