This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance, Guide to Program Implementation In 2006, a team of researchers from the Oregon Research Institute, led by Fuzhong Li, Phd., conducted a study which found that a program of Tai Chi could reduce the rate of falling in older adults by as much as 55%. This manual was prepared for state and local public health departments and other NGO's to be able to plan and implement Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance in their communities. More Recently: Researchers analyzed results from 10 studies involving more than 2,600 patients ranging in age from 56 to 98 years old. Participants took part in hour-long tai chi classes one to three times weekly for between 12 and 26 weeks. Taken together, results of the studies showed that compared with those who didn't practice tai chi, those who did reduced their risk of falling by 43 percent-and halved their risk of suffering an injury due to a fall. Most surprising: The results suggest that tai chi worked better than other approaches such as physical therapy, balance training, resistance exercises, stretching, or yoga. (Carr, Teresa. "To Prevent Falls, Try Tai Chi." Consumer Reports, ww.consumerreports.org/exercise-fitness/to-prevent-fallstry-tai-chi/.) Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance Implementation Guide, instructors' manual, supplemental materials, student learning guidebook, and instruction DVD produced during research were adapted, compiled, revised (2011)and published by the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control as Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance: a Guide for Program Implementation. This Program Guide consists of the Program Implementation Guide, Instructors' Manual, and Student Manual. The DVD is available separately.

Book excerpt: A longtime teacher and Harvard researcher presents the latest science on the benefits of T’ai Chi as well as a practical daily program for practitioners of all ages Conventional medical science on the Chinese art of T’ai Chi now shows what T’ai Chi masters have known for centuries: regular practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility, and a sense of well-being. Cutting-edge research from Harvard Medical School also supports the long-standing claims that T’ai Chi also has a beneficial impact on the health of the heart, bones, nerves and muscles, immune system, and the mind. This research provides fascinating insight into the underlying physiological mechanisms that explain how T’ai Chi actually works. Dr. Peter M. Wayne, a longtime T’ai Chi teacher and a researcher at Harvard Medical School, developed and tested protocols similar to the simplified program he includes in this book, which is suited to people of all ages, and can be done in just a few minutes a day. This book includes: • The basic program, illustrated by more than 50 photographs • Practical tips for integrating T’ai Chi into everyday activities • An introduction to the traditional principles of T’ai Chi • Up-to-date summaries of the research on the health benefits of T’ai Chi • How T’ai Chi can enhance work productivity, creativity, and sports performance • And much more
Book Synopsis Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance by : Ctr Injury Prevention Control CDC
Download or read book Tai Chi: Moving for Better Balance written by Ctr Injury Prevention Control CDC and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance The Need for Group Exercise Programs to Prevent Falls Each year, about one-third of adults aged 65 years of age and older fall, and 20 to 30 percent of those who fall suffer moderate to severe injuries, such as bruises, hip fractures, and head traumas. Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths and the most common cause of nonfatal injuries among this population. Exercise that improves strength and balance, such as Tai Chi, helps prevent falls. Research has shown that practicing Tai Chi, a balancepromoting exercise, is a very effective way for older adults to reduce their risk of falling and to maintain their independence. Description of the Program The Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance program consists of eight Tai Chi forms that were derived from the well-known, simplified 24-form Yang-style. However, the forms have been modified for community adults who wish to reduce their fall risk by improving their balance, strength, mobility, and confidence in performing everyday activities. The eight forms are arranged in progression from easiest to most difficult. Each of these forms can be performed and practiced singly or in combination with other forms as part of a routine. The eight-form routine adheres to the fundamental principles of traditional Tai Chi, which involves weight-shifting, body alignment, and coordinated movements performed in a slow, continuous, circular, and flowing manner. Research to better understand the effectiveness of Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance has been underway since 2004. Increasing evidence supports the health benefits of the program for older adults, including, but not limited to, reducing blood pressure, improving muscular strength, balance, and postural control, improving sleep quality, reducing depression, reducing fall risk (by as much as 55 percent), enhancing mental well-being, and improving overall quality of life. The adoption and reach of the program in community settings have been evaluated in senior activity centers and medical clinics. This guidebook summarizes the results of years of scientific research and community evaluations, including ongoing consultations between the program developer, members of his teaching team in Oregon, and instructors and program users from other states. Expectations about Learning and the Health Benefits of this Program Program participants need to know that it takes both time and effort to learn the various forms contained in this program. Each student will likely experience a learning curve in becoming skilled at and eventually mastering the program routine. Participants should be informed that the health benefits they can expect from the program may require practicing Tai Chi over an extended period of time. Research shows that it may take at least three months before benefits are perceived, for example noticing an improvement in balance and a reduction in falls. Therefore, long-term commitment and sustained practice is strongly recommended.

Book Synopsis Tai Chi Versus Standard Exercise in Fall Prevention by : Tamara Cleveland
Download or read book Tai Chi Versus Standard Exercise in Fall Prevention written by Tamara Cleveland and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study will review the effects of Tai Chi versus a Standard Exercise program with regards to fall prevention. According to several studies one of the biggest problems is the number of falls in long term care facilities. It has been estimated that annually 30% of individuals over the age of 65 will fall; of those at least 24% will withstand some kind of serious injury. Research has shown that a combination of sedentary lifestyle, normal aging and mental decline are the biggest contributors and the reasons that elderly individuals fall. The best way to identify individuals who are at risk for falls is for the nurse to do a thorough assessment of the each resident upon admission in order to identify those individuals who are at the highest risk for falls. Research shows that Tai Chi helps residents become more in tune with spatial awareness and balance using flowing movements and can be done successfully with residents who are in a wheelchair. A Standard Exercise program helps to improve the resident's muscle strength and endurance by using light weights and aerobics to improve muscle strength and endurance. The studies used in this research came from peer-reviewed articles that looked at the effect both types of exercise programs had on the participants in order to develop the conclusion that both activities have definite yet different benefits with regards to decreasing the number of falls in long term care. One key component that both studies had was that the best way to decrease falls was to incorporate both physical and mental stimulation.
