According to a study, elderly people whose eyesight is failing can improve their balance and avoid dangerous falls by practicing tai chi.
The gentle form of martial art builds strength besides improving balance control to reduce the chances of life-threatening falls among old people with poor eyesight.
Study author Dr William Tsang said: ‘Tai chi can be a suitable form of exercise for those with visual impairment and indeed assists with improving their balance control.’
The results were published in the Age and Ageing journal.
