Community-Based Tai Chi and Its Effect on Injurious Falls, Balance, Gait, and Fear of Falling in Older People

Abstract: Tai chi can prevent a decline in functional balance and gait among older people. However, the reduction in injurious falls attained with tai chi did not reach statistical significance; the statistical inefficiency may have resulted partly from the large decline in injurious falls in control villagers. Finally, the unexpected effect of educational intervention on reducing injurious falls in different settings needs to be further examined.

Some studies suggest a reduction of falls causing injuries parallel to the reduction of overall falls (26,27,34,35). However, definitions of injuries varied a lot from one study to another, and often included relatively mild injuries such as bruises or scratches.…”
