TI  - Effect of Tai Chi exercise on the physical and mental health of the elder 
      patients suffered from anxiety disorder.
PG  - 55-60
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Observe the effect of Tai Chi exercise on the rehabilitation of elder 
      patients suffered from the anxiety disorder. METHODS: 32 elder patients suffered 
      from the anxiety disorder are randomly divided into the experimental group and 
      the control group and each of them consists of 16 patients. The control group 
      only receives the drug therapy, while the experimental group is treated with Tai 
      Chi exercise in addition to the drug therapy. When they are chosen and 45 days 
      after treatment, they are respectively evaluated by Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) 
      and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74). The cured patients stop the 
      drug therapy, but the cured patients in the experimental group continue to do Tai 
      Chi exercise after stopping the drug therapy. After tracing and investigating 
      each cured patient for 2 months, test and evaluate whether their disease reoccurs 
      within the 2 months. RESULTS: After 45 days' treatment, it is found that HAMA and 
      GQOLI-74 scores of the patients in the experimental group are improved 
      significantly in comparison with those in the time of their selection and those 
      in the control group (P<0.05); upon tracing and investigation of the cured 
      patients, it is found that the recurrence rate is 42.86% in the control group, 
      while that of the experimental group is only 9.09%. CONCLUSION: After the elder 
      patients suffered from the anxiety disorder are treated with Tai Chi exercise in 
      addition to the drug therapy, their effect is more significant than those who 
      only are treated by the drug. Meanwhile, if the patients are only treated by the 
      drug, their disease is easy to reoccur after curing. However, if they insist on 
      Tai Chi exercise, the recurrence rate is low and the effect is significant.
