Introdução: No idoso, a capacidade física e funcional vai sofrendo um declínio/mutações físicas e
mentais, levando à perda gradual da independência e a uma diminuição da qualidade de vida. O Tai-Chi
sendo um tipo de exercício suave e lento, caracterizado por movimentos harmoniosos e graduais, em
que a intensidade pode ser regulada pelas exigências específicas de cada individuo, é considerado como
uma atividade adequada a todas as idades e benéfica na prevenção do declínio dos sistemas mais
atingidos no envelhecimento, bem como o sistema vestibular, visual e somatosensorial. Objetivo:
Analisar os efeitos terapêuticos do Tai-Chi no desempenho funcional do idoso e constatar como a prática
desta disciplina pode ser utilizada como técnica complementar em Fisioterapia. Metodologia: Pesquisa
computorizada na base de dados PubMed, e PEDro, para identificar estudos que relativos aos benefícios
ligados a prática de Tai-Chi no idoso. A classificação de todos os artigos foi pesquisada através da
plataforma e escala de PEDro, analisando cada critério. Resultados: Foram selecionados 8 artigos, com
um total de 2.276 participantes com idades superiores a 60 anos, obtendo uma média de 4.25 na escala
de PEDro. Os resultados dos diversos estudos demonstraram como a prática de diferentes estilos de Tai-
Chi pelos idosos pode melhorar significativamente as suas ações motoras. Conclusão: A prática do Tai-
Chi leva a um aumento da estabilidade postural, melhoria do controlo de equilíbrio, proprioceção, e
qualidade da marcha do idoso, capacidades determinantes na diminuição das quedas prejudiciais deste.
Sugere-se, de futuro, a realização de mais estudos experimentais que reforcem estas evidências, tanto
na ação preventiva como na ação terapêutica do Tai-chi no idoso.
Introduction: In the elderly, physical and functional capacity will suffer a decline / physical and mental changes, leading to the gradual loss of independence and a decreased quality of life. Tai Chi is a type of soft and slow exercise, characterized by smooth and gradual movements, in which the intensity may be governed by the specific requirements of each individual, is considered as an appropriate activity for all ages and beneficent in preventing the decline of the most affected systems during aging , as well as the vestibular system, visual and somatosensory. Objective: analyze the therapeutic effects of Tai Chi on functional performance in elderly and see how the practice of this discipline can be used as a complementary technique in physiotherapy. Methodology: computerized search in PubMed database, and PEDro to identify studies on the benefits linked to the practice of Tai-Chi in the elderly. Classification of all articles was screened by the platform and PEDro scale, analyzing each criteria. Results: 8 articles were selected, with a total of 2,276 participants aged over 60 years, reaching an average of 4.25 on a scale of PEDro. The results of several studies demonstrated how the practice of different styles of Tai Chi by the elderly can significantly improve their motor actions. Conclusion: The practice of Tai Chi leads to increased postural stability, improve equilibration control, proprioception, and elderly gait quality, determinants capacities in reducing damaging declines of this. It is suggested that, in future, the realization of more experimental studies that reinforce this evidence, in preventive action and in therapeutic action of Tai-chi in the elderly.
