TAI CHI AS A MODALITY FOR STROKE REHABILITATIONABSTRACTTai Chi is a Chinese traditional mind-body exercise and is well known for its slow and graceful movements. Tai Chi has been practiced for centuries and has become a popular exercise worldwide in recent years. Tai Chi is beneficial to cardiorespiratory function, muscular strength, balance, flexibility, microcirculation, psychological profile and quality of life. Tai Chi can be prescribed as an alternative exercise programme for selected patients with cardiovascular, orthopaedic, or neurological diseases. Recent studies prove that Tai Chi is safe and effective for patients with neurological diseases (e.g., stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cognitive dysfunction). Tai Chi appears to be beneficial for the rehabilitation of stroke, a leading cause of disability worldwide.Keywords: Rehabilitation, stroke, Tai ChiABSTRAKTai Chi adalah suatu latihan pikiran-badan tradisional Tiongkok dan terkenal dengan gerakannya yang lambat dan anggun. Tai Chi telah dipraktikkan selama berabad-abad dan telah menjadi latihan populer di seluruh dunia dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Tai Chi bermanfaat untuk fungsi kardiorespirasi, kekuatan otot, keseimbangan, kelenturan, mikrosirkulasi, psikologis dan kualitas hidup. Tai Chi dapat diberikan sebagai program latihan alternatif untuk pasien dengan penyakit kardiovaskular, ortopedis, dan neurologis.
