An investigation to study the effects of Tai Chi on human gait dynamics using classical machine learning

Md Ahasan Atick Faisal et al.

Summary: Tai Chi has been proven effective in preventing falls, improving joint function, and enhancing balance. However, its effect on human gait dynamics is not well understood. This study evaluated the performance of machine learning algorithms in classifying the walking gait of Tai Chi masters and normal subjects. The results showed that Tai Chi clearly has an effect on walking gait dynamics.

Tai chi-muscle power training for children with developmental coordination disorder: a randomized controlled trial

Shirley S. M. Fong et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of tai chi muscle power training, tai chi alone, muscle power training alone, and no training on improving the limits of stability, motor and leg muscular performance, and reducing falls in children with developmental coordination disorder. The results showed that both tai chi and muscle power training were effective in increasing knee muscle strength and reducing the number of falls.
