目的：确定练习太极拳是否能显著提高平衡能力。方法：对22例轻度平衡障碍患者进行研究。获得了5项平衡测量，包括3项客观测量（移动平台姿势测量、Romberg测试和到达测试）和2份残疾问卷（头晕障碍量表和修改后的医疗结果研究一般健康调查）。为了入选，患者被要求能够以闭着眼睛的常规Romberg姿势站立30秒。受试者进行了8周的太极训练和练习，然后进行了重新测试。结果：体位测试和眩晕障碍问卷得分均有显著改善（P < 0.001和P = 0.004）。Romberg测试结果和医学结果研究调查也注意到改善的趋势（两者的P = .03）。可达性没有提高。结论：这些研究结果表明，太极拳训练可以提高平衡能力。
Objective: To determine if the practice of Tai Chi significantly improves balance.Methods: Twenty-two persons with mild balance disorders were studied. Five measures of balance were obtained, including 3 objective measures (moving platform posturography, Romberg testing, and reach testing) and 2 disability questionnaires (Dizziness Handicap Inventory and a modified Medical Outcomes Study general health survey). To be included, patients were required to be able to stand in the eyes-closed regular Romberg position for 30 seconds. The subjects underwent 8 weeks of T'ai Chi training and practice and then were retested.Results: Highly significant improvements were found on both the posturography test and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory questionnaire scores (P < .001 and P = .004, respectively). Trends toward improvement were also noted in Romberg test results and the Medical Outcomes Study survey (P = .03 for both). Reach was not improved.Conclusion: These findings suggest that T'ai Chi training improves balance.
