This study examined the impact of Baduanjin, a mindfulness-based exercise intervention, on the physical functioning and balance of adults with intellectual disabilities. The results showed significant improvements in walking test, chair stand test, and overall score for participants who received Baduanjin intervention. The study concludes that Baduanjin practice may cause significant but small improvements in physical functioning of adults with intellectual disabilities.
BackgroundAdults with intellectual disabilities often experience mobility limitations. Baduanjin, a mindfulness-based exercise intervention, can exert positive effects on functional mobility and balance. This study examined the impact of Baduanjin on physical functioning and balance of adults with intellectual disabilities. MethodTwenty-nine adults with intellectual disabilities participated in the study. Eighteen received a Baduanjin intervention for 9-months; 11 participants did not receive any intervention (comparison group). Physical functioning and balance were assessed using the short physical performance battery (SPPB) and stabilometry. ResultsParticipants in the Baduanjin group experienced significant changes in the SPPB walking test (p = .042), chair stand test (p = .015), and SPPB summary score (p = .010). No significant changes between groups were observed in any of the variables assessed at the end of the intervention. ConclusionsBaduanjin practice may cause significant, albeit small, improvements in physical functioning of adults with intellectual disabilities.
