      residential homes: does Tai Chi have any role for people with dementia?

AB  - Dementia is a common illness that is increasing in frequency and set to challenge 
      the resources and expertise of health and social care services over the coming 
      years. Increasingly, there has been interest in the management of behavioural and 
      psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), as they are both common and associated 
      with a range of negative outcomes. BPSD are associated with the admission of 
      people with dementia to care homes. Limited resources and lack of knowledge in 
      permanent care settings often lead to BPSD being managed with antipsychotic 
      medications, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There 
      is evidence for the benefits of exercise within care home settings, although only 
      a few studies include those with cognitive impairment. Tai Chi is a mind-body 
      exercise combining relaxed physical movement and meditation, and has been 
      suggested to have many health benefits. This article discusses the rationale and 
      available options for treating BPSD and the current practice and reviews the 
      literature regarding the benefits of exercise and, in particular, Tai Chi in the 
      management of BPSD.
