In this study, the potential value of Tai Chi in improving dynamic balance and falls self-efficacy in a healthy elderly sample was investigated. Performance of the 33 Tai Chi practitioners on the 8-foot-up-and-go balance test and the scores on the Falls Self-Efficacy Scale was compared with a nonpredictor control group. A multivariate analysis of variance demonstrated that there was not a significant difference between the practitioners and the nonpractitioners on pre-test dependent variables (g > .57). The practitioners did significantly improve their time on the balance test after the intervention (g > .05). However, the experimental group did not improve their self-reported measures on the self-efficacy scale (r > .98). |
