✅ Modified tai chi movement training based on sEMG and movement analysis on improving upper extremities motor function: a protocol for a clinical randomised controlled trial

Health

Introduction Stroke survivors often face motor dysfunction, increasing fall risk. Lower extremity muscle weakness is a key factor affecting walking ability. Tai chi (TC) has been shown to improve muscle strength and mobility in patients with stroke more effectively than traditional walking training. However, existing TC programmes for stroke rehabilitation are often too simplified and fail to fully use TC’s benefits. Additionally, subjective assessment scales are time-consuming and prone to bias. This study proposes integrating TC’s early movement features with neurodevelopmental therapy, using surface electromyography and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors to thoroughly analyse diverse TC movements. Tailored exercises, based on stroke-induced impairments, will be objectively assessed through biomechanical analysis.
