Article Synopsis
- Tai Chi exercises may improve sleep quality and reduce depressive symptoms in elderly patients with cerebral vascular disorder (CVD), compared to standard rehabilitation.
- The study involved 34 CVD patients who participated in either Tai Chi or rehabilitation sessions over 12 weeks, assessing cognitive effects using P300 measurements and health questionnaires.
- Results indicated that while there were no significant changes in cognitive function measurements, significant improvements were noted in sleep quality and mental health scores for those practicing Tai Chi.
