The Effects of Tai Chi on the Nonlinear Dynamics of Frailty in Elderly Adults

Hebrew SeniorLife·interventional·Posted May 20, 2010·Updated Dec 19, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Tai Chi and Education-Control for Frailty. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The aim of this study is determine the effects of Tai Chi exercise, as compared to an education-based control intervention, on cardiovascular and balance system function in older people at risk of developing frailty. We hypothesize that long-term Tai Chi training will improve specific nonlinear properties associated of cardiovascular and balance dynamics in this population.
