The Hong Kong Polytechnic University·interventional·Posted Nov 14, 2017·Updated Nov 14, 2017

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Tai-chi group for Accidental Falls. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility and the preliminary effects of a simplified 10-step Tai-chi programme (a dyadic approach) on the mobility performance of people with mild to moderate dementia. Four community health centres were recruited and each was randomised to either the intervention group (Tai-chi) or the control group. Tai-chi group received a 16-week 10-step simplified Tai-chi training programme in which additional measures were implemented to enhance participants' engagement. The control group took part in group recreational activities organized by the community centres. It was hypothesized that the Tai-chi group would outperform the control group regarding their mobility performance.
