Dissertation
The effects of Tai Chi on geriatric perceived quality of life: An occupational therapy perspective
1998
Overview
There is conflicting literature regarding the ability of purposeful therapeutic activity to reduce negative physical and mental signs of aging. This researcher assessed whether Tai Chi increased geriatric perceived quality of life as measured by four scales: perceived improvements in (a) functional mobility and (b) activities of daily living; and perceived reduction in (c) mental and physical conditions and (d) need for medications. In addition, this study hypothesized a correlation between length of time spent attending Tai Chi classes, practicing Tai Chi outside of class and the scales. Questionnaires were sent to 56 geriatric Tai Chi class participants at various sites over the course of one year. Statistical tests included: Friedman, Analysis of Variance, and Paired Sign. A combination of Tai Chi class and practice yielded significant results for perceived improvements in functional mobility and perceived reduced need for certain medications.
