Tai Chi: towards an exercise program for the older person
Abstract
In the changing demographic and health care contexts of aged care, the creation of health promoting exercise programs for frail elderly people to improve wellbeing and quality of care is a common objective in community and residential aged care. This article describes the background to the development of a gentle exercise program that has therapeutic value and the potential to improve wellbeing and quality of care.
