美国伊利诺伊州大学的研究者们将号称世界之拳的太极拳用于老年痴呆症的治疗。他们在一份研究报告中指出,在专家指导下练习太极拳,同时配合其他治疗手段,在延缓老年痴呆的发展方面能起到与服用特殊药物同样的效果。 Researchers at the University of Illinois, USA, use Tai Chi, known as the Fist of the World, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In a research note, they pointed out that practicing Taijiquan under the guidance of experts, combined with other treatments, can have the same effect as dementia in delaying the development of Alzheimer’s.
