The purpose of this study was to provide a quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of traditional Chinese mind and body exercises in promoting balance ability for old adults. The eligible studies were extensively searched from electronic databases (Medline, CINAHL, SportDicus, and Web of Science) until 10 May 2016. Reference lists of relevant publications were screened for future hits. The trials used randomized controlled approaches to compare the effects of traditional Chinese mind and body exercise (TCMBE) on balance ability of old adults that were included. The synthesized results of Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), and static balance with 95% confidence intervals were counted under a random-effects model. Ten studies were selected based on the inclusion criteria, and a total of 1,798 participants were involved in this review. The results of the meta-analysis showed that TCMBE had no significant improvement on BBS and TUG, but the BBS and TUG could be obviously improved by prolonging the intervention time. In addition, the results showed that TCMBE could significantly improve the static balance compared to control group. In conclusion, old adults who practiced TCMBE with the time not less than 150 minutes per week for more than 15 weeks could promote the balance ability.
本研究旨在对中国传统身心锻炼法促进老年人平衡能力的效果进行定量评估。从电子数据库（Medline、CINAHL、SportDicus和Web of Science）中广泛检索符合条件的研究，直至2016年5月10日。对相关出版物的参考文献列表进行筛选，以寻找更多相关研究。纳入的试验采用随机对照方法，比较中国传统身心锻炼法（TCMBE）对老年人平衡能力的影响。在随机效应模型下，计算伯格平衡量表（BBS）、定时起立行走测试（TUG）和静态平衡的综合结果及95%置信区间。根据纳入标准选择了10项研究，本综述共纳入1798名参与者。荟萃分析结果显示，TCMBE对BBS和TUG没有显著改善，但延长干预时间可明显改善BBS和TUG。此外，结果表明，与对照组相比，TCMBE可显著改善静态平衡。总之，每周进行TCMBE不少于150分钟、持续超过15周的老年人，其平衡能力可得到提升。
