Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To systematically evaluate whether Tai Chi exercise is more effective than other exercise interventions in reducing the incidence of falls, improving the balance ability and reducing the fear of falls in older adults.

Methods Literatures about Tai Chi exercise for older healthy adults in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP database were searched from establishment to September, 2021. After literature screening, data extraction and literature quality evaluation independently were conducted by two investigators, meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3.

Results A total of twelve randomized controlled trials including 1 366 elderly patients were included in the analysis. Compared with other ecercise intervention, Tai Chi exercise reduced the rate of falls among older adults (RR = 0.54, 95%CI 0.42 to 0.68, P< 0.001). Tai Chi exercise was superior to other ecercise intervention in terms of single leg standing time (MD = 9.57, 95%CI 6.19 to 12.94, P< 0.001) and functional reach distance (MD = 2.16, 95%CI 1.31 to 3.01, P< 0.00001). However, there was no significant difference in the improvement of fear of falling, Timed 'Up and Go' Test between Tai Chi exercise and other ecercise intervention modalities (P> 0.05).

Conclusion Tai Chi exercise is more advantageous than other ecercise intervention modalities in reducing the rate of falls and improving static balance ability among older adults, however, there is insufficient evidence that Tai Chi exercise is more effective in reducing fear of falling and improving dynamic balance ability.

Key words: Tai Chi, accidental falls, aged, balance, meta-analysis
