Chair Chi Plus: 81-96 year olds

By Chris Leave a Comment

chair-chi-training-picLast week I finished the Chair Chi Plus Pilot study at Craigcare Residential Aged Care centre here in Melbourne, Australia and here’s some interesting numbers from the program:

  • Residents Age Range: 81-96 years old
  • Pilot Study Duration: 6 weeks
  • Sessions: 30 minutes – 3 times a week
  • Total sessions: 16
  • Pulse taken: 3 times during each session – resting – mid way – end of session
  • Total participants: 6 high care residents
  • Attendance: 4 residents = 16/16, 1 resident = 10/16, 1 resident 9/16

These numbers plus other statistics and feedback will be part of the report I’m now putting together to determine if the following aims of the study were met:

  • increase in leg strength
  • improved balance
  • achieved cardiovascular workout
  • enhanced emotional and pyschological well being

If you are interested in the final report please contact me and I’ll email you a copy – there’s no charge for the report.
