Traditional Chinese Exercise (TCE) has expanded out of China into the world and is frequently used in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Although many studies have explored the ability of TCE as an intervention for neurodegenerative diseases, there are limited articles summarizing the research. The aim of this study was to investigate current research trends around TCE for neurodegenerative diseases and predict future directions for such research.
Data was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). All articles and reviews on TCE in relation to neurodegenerative diseases were retrieved. The data analysis was performed using the CiteSpace (5.8R3) software, and the results were displayed in network maps.
The search identified 220 publications between 1999 and 2021. The United States was the most productive country ( = 89), followed by China ( = 68). The United States had the greatest centrality, indicating its tremendous global influence and close collaborations with other countries. Fuzhong Li from the Oregon Research Institute, United States, was not only the most prolific author ( = 5), but also the most co-cited author ( = 120). The Shanghai University of Sport contributed to the most publications ( = 12). was the most published journal, while was the most cited journal. Tai Chi, Parkinson's disease, quality of life, balance, and older adult were the most high-frequency keywords, while Alzheimer's disease had the highest centrality.
The number of publications on TCE related to neurodegenerative diseases has shown major growth in the past decade. However, there is a need for research institutions to strengthen cooperation between countries and institutions. Tai Chi, Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease, older adults and falls reduction have been the recent research focus. It is anticipated that in the future, PD will continue to be a central focus with the effects of Baduanjin, Wuqinxi, and Yijinjing requiring further research.
传统中国运动已从中国传播至全球，并常用于多种疾病的防治。尽管许多研究探讨了传统中国运动作为神经退行性疾病干预措施的能力，但总结此类研究的文章有限。本研究旨在调查围绕传统中国运动用于神经退行性疾病的当前研究趋势，并预测此类研究的未来方向。
数据来自科学网核心合集（WoSCC）。检索了所有关于传统中国运动与神经退行性疾病相关的文章和综述。使用CiteSpace（5.8R3）软件进行数据分析，结果以网络图形式呈现。
检索发现1999年至2021年间有220篇出版物。美国是发文量最多的国家（89篇），其次是中国（68篇）。美国具有最高的中心性，表明其在全球具有巨大影响力并与其他国家密切合作。美国俄勒冈研究所的李富中不仅是发文量最多的作者（5篇），也是被引频次最高的作者（120次）。上海体育学院的发文量最多（12篇）。《》是发文量最多的期刊，而《》是被引频次最高的期刊。太极拳、帕金森病、生活质量、平衡和老年人是高频关键词，而阿尔茨海默病的中心性最高。
过去十年中，与神经退行性疾病相关的传统中国运动出版物数量有显著增长。然而，研究机构需要加强国家间和机构间的合作。太极拳、帕金森病（PD）、阿尔茨海默病、老年人和减少跌倒一直是近期的研究重点。预计未来，PD仍将是核心关注点，八段锦、五禽戏和易筋经的效果需要进一步研究。
