Participants must be 18 years or older and have a diagnosis of cervical myelopathy.
Participants must be 18 years or older and have a diagnosis of cervical myelopathy.
Detailed Description:
Patients who meet inclusion criteria and choose to participate will be randomized to either participate in a Tai Chi falls-prevention program or continue with usual care. Those in the Tai Chi program will attend a pre-determined number of Tai Chi classes for a period of approximately 6-8 weeks. Investigators will assess their gait and balance at the time of enrollment and at several timepoints after they have participated in the class (similar timepoints for those randomized to usual care).
