Abstract

Dementia includes a variety of cognitive impairments often associated with advanced aging. Individuals who have it have difficulty performing normal cognitive functions. Tai chi and qigong are forms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that are being used to treat various kinds of dementia. This article summarizes some recent studies on the use of tai chi and qigong on patients suffering from dementia. Several studies have found that the use of tai chi or qigong have been significantly more beneficial in slowing down or even reversing mental decline when compared to the control group.
