这项试点研究探讨了太极拳对帕金森病 (PD) 患者平衡、步态和活动能力的影响。 33 名 PD 患者被随机分配到太极拳组或对照组。太极组参加了20次1小时长的训练，在10-13周内完成；而对照组则进行两次测试，间隔 10 至 13 周，中间不进行任何训练。太极拳组在伯格平衡量表、UPDRS、计时起立、串联站立测试、六分钟步行和倒退步行方面比对照组有更多进步。两组在向前行走或单腿站立测试方面均没有改善。所有太极拳参与者都表示对该计划感到满意，并表示健康状况有所改善。对于一些患有轻度至中重度帕金森病的人来说，太极拳似乎是一种适当、安全和有效的运动形式。 (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
This pilot study examines the effects of Tai Chi on balance, gait and mobility in people with Parkinson disease (PD). Thirty-three people with PD were randomly assigned to either a Tai Chi group or a control group. The Tai Chi group participated in 20 1-h long training sessions completed within 10-13 weeks; whereas, the control group had two testing sessions between 10 and 13 weeks apart without interposed training. The Tai Chi group improved more than the control group on the Berg Balance Scale, UPDRS, Timed Up and Go, tandem stance test, six-minute walk, and backward walking. Neither group improved in forward walking or the one leg stance test. All Tai Chi participants reported satisfaction with the program and improvements in well-being. Tai Chi appears to be an appropriate, safe and effective form of exercise for some individuals with mild-moderately severe PD. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
