The team developed the newly compiled eight methods and five steps of Tai Chi (EMFSTC), which includes introductory routines to Tai Chi characterized by simple structures. This study examined the effectiveness of EMFSTC practice on balance control. A total of 31 participants were randomly assigned to EMFSTC (n = 15, age = 66.4 ± 1.7 years, received 16-week EMFSTC practice) or control (n = 16, age = 66.7 ± 1.8 years, received no practice) groups. Significant group by training interactions were observed. After EMFSTC practice, balance control improved, as indicated by decreased root mean square and mean velocity of center of pressure, proprioception threshold during knee extension, and plantar tactile sensitivity threshold at the arch. EMFSCT can be an effective rehabilitation modality to improve balance control among older adults.
该团队开发了新编译的八法五步太极拳（EMFSTC），其中包括以简单结构为特征的太极拳入门套路。本研究检验了 EMFSTC 练习对平衡控制的有效性。共有 31 名参与者被随机分配到 EMFSTC 组（n=15，年龄=66.4±1.7 岁，接受 16 周 EMFSTC 练习）或对照组（n=16，年龄=66.7±1.8 岁，不接受练习）。观察到显著的组间训练交互作用。经过 EMFSTC 练习后，平衡控制得到改善，表现为足底压力中心均方根和平均速度、膝关节伸展时的本体感觉阈值以及足弓处的足底触觉敏感性阈值降低。EMFSCT 可以是一种有效的康复方式，可改善老年人的平衡控制。
