Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of TC for Arthritis on physical function pain and stiffness in older adults with kneehip OA Two hypotheses were tested
1 Individuals in the TC group will demonstrate greater improvements in physical function compared to control group participants
2 Individuals in the TC group will demonstrate greater decreases in pain and stiffness compared to control group participants
1 Individuals in the TC group will demonstrate greater improvements in physical function compared to control group participants
2 Individuals in the TC group will demonstrate greater decreases in pain and stiffness compared to control group participants
Detailed Description:
Exercise is considered a vital component of osteoarthritis OA treatment Tai Chi TC is a unique exercise intervention with low-velocity movements Few studies have addressed the effects of TC on arthritis symptoms and function TC for Arthritis was modified specifically for people with OA and consists of a standardized set of forms
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a low-dose TC for Arthritis on physical function pain and stiffness in individuals with OA
Twenty-seven older adults with OA mean age-813 years completed an 8 week non-randomized controlled pre-post test quasi-experimental design study of TC for Arthritis Physical function pain and stiffness were measured at baseline and 8 weeks for the TC and control groups using the WOMAC 31 Index Qualitative data from interviews and participant observations were analyzed in order to understand the participants expectations and experiences with TC
