“…A meta-analysis of 19 RCTs suggested that tai chi may improve balance function and exercise capacity following stroke. 64 In a systematic review of eight studies, tai chi and yoga both showed promise for improving psychological stressors and quality of life among poststroke patients. 65 However, more rigorous and adequately powered RCTs are needed to better evaluate movement-based therapies in stroke.…”

A growing body of research suggests that meditative- and mindfulness-focused interventions may improve neuropsychiatric symptoms that commonly occur in a range of neurological disorders. In this article, the principles of meditation and mindfulness are first defined, as well as briefly describing the neurobiological mechanisms implicated in these interventions. Thereafter, a range of meditative- and mindfulness-focused interventions are detailed, along with their supporting evidence to treat neuropsychiatric symptoms in neurological conditions (e.g., headache, movement disorders, chronic pain, etc.). Overall, these interventions warrant further investigation among individuals with neurological conditions. When recommending these interventions, health care professionals must consider a combination of structural (e.g., insurance reimbursement) and patient factors (e.g., ability to tolerate a group setting).

“…After practicing, the body feels relaxed and full of spirit [5]. Taijiquan exercise is not affected by time, space, environmental conditions, age, athletic ability, the intensity of the exercise, and the size of the exercise can be controlled by themselves, so taijiquan exercise is easy to promote popularization [6][7]. Taijiquan exercise at home or taijiquan rehearsal in the square can allow older people to exercise their bodies.…”

Inheriting and promoting Taijiquan, most of the process of oral teaching and teaching by words, the lack of scientific data support, there is an urgent need to standardize the interpretation level measurement standards. In this paper, based on the high-speed infrared motion capture technology, the HelenHayes method is used to select the bony landmarks of human anatomy, establish the coordinate system, and optimize the traditional posture-solving algorithm by using Mahony to design the kinematic and biomechanical analytical model used for the movements of the classical 24-step Taijiquan. The analytical model was used to analyze the kinematics and biomechanics of a total of 6 taijiquan practitioners in both professional and amateur groups. It was finally found that the center of gravity of the taijiquan champion was 0.077, 0.080, and 0.034 during the white crane bright wing movement, and the center of gravity of the three stages of the single whip was 0.062, 0.075, and 0.059, without excessive undulating movements, and basically remained at the same height. In the four stages of the movement, the left hip joint angle of the amateur group has been deviating from the standard, with a maximum deviation of 22.98 degrees, which is significantly different from that of the professional group. This study provides a theoretical basis for the improvement, rationalization, and simplification of Taijiquan movements and scientific experimental data for the standardized teaching and training of these movements.

IntroductionOur previous studies have proposed the bodyweight support–t’ai chi (BWS-TC) footwork training for stroke survivors with severe motor dysfunction and fear of falling, and have proven its positive effects for motor function. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) provides a non-invasive and safe way to modulate neuronal activity and provoke neuroplastic changes and to improve the motor function of stroke survivors. However, it is unclear whether the integration of BWS-TC and tDCS has synergistic effects on improving motor function of the stroke survivors.Methods and analysisThis study will be an assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial involving 12-week intervention and 6-month follow-up. One hundred and thirty-five individuals with stroke will be randomly divided in a ratio of 1:1:1 into three groups. Control group A, control group B and intervention group C will receive tDCS and conventional rehabilitation programmes (CRPs), BWS-TC and CRP, tDCS-BWS-TC and CRP for 12 weeks, respectively. The primary outcome measures will include the efficacy (Fugl-Meyer Assessment), acceptability and safety of these interventions. The secondary outcome measures will include balance ability (ie, limits of stability and modified clinical test of sensory integration), walking function, brain structure and function, risk of falling, Barthel Index and 36-Item Short Form Survey. All outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 weeks during intervention, and 1, 3 and 6 months during the follow-up period. Two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures will be applied to examine the main effects of the group and the time factor and group–time interaction effects for all outcome measures.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was obtained from the ethics committee of the Shanghai Seventh People’s Hospital (2021-7th-HIRB-017). The results of the study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at scientific conferences.Trial registration numberChiCTR2200059329.
