The aim of this study was to ascertain whether ba-duan-jin (BDJ) can improve balance and enhance the quality of life among older adults.
This pilot study was designed as a single group pre-post comparison test.
Sixteen older adults were qualified and recruited for this study at local retirement communities. Assessments for pre- and postintervention among the subjects included Single-Leg Stance, Chair Rising Test, Tinetti Balance Test, Modified Falls Efficacy Scale, and 12-Item Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire for quality of life.
After 12 weeks of BDJ training, significant improvements were identified in Single-Leg Stance, Tinetti Balance Test, Modified Falls Efficacy Scale, and 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (all p < .01); however not for the Chair Rising Test (p > .05).
The results indicate that BDJ can improve balance, lower extremity strength, quality of life, and decrease fear of falling among older adults.
BDJ is an effective rehabilitation training method and can improve balance and motor function among older people. Rehabilitation nursing plays a key role in functional rehabilitation of older people.
本研究旨在确定八段锦是否可以改善老年人的平衡能力和生活质量。
本研究设计为单组前后比较测试。
在当地退休社区，有 16 名老年人符合条件并被招募参加这项研究。对受试者进行的干预前后评估包括单腿站立、椅子上升测试、Tinetti 平衡测试、改良跌倒效能量表和 12 项简短健康调查问卷生活质量。
经过 12 周的八段锦训练，单腿站立、Tinetti 平衡测试、改良跌倒效能量表和 12 项简短健康调查问卷均有显著改善（均 p<.01）；但椅子上升测试无显著改善（p>.05）。
结果表明，八段锦可以改善老年人的平衡能力、下肢力量、生活质量和降低跌倒恐惧。
八段锦是一种有效的康复训练方法，可以改善老年人的平衡和运动功能。康复护理在老年人的功能康复中起着关键作用。
