ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the effects of Tai Chi exercise and music therapy on the health and well-being of older adults. Researchers believe that combining these two activities may help improve both physical and mental health in elderly individuals, particularly those who are frail or experiencing symptoms of depression. The goal is to understand how these practices can enhance quality of life and reduce the risk of frailty, which can significantly impact daily living.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 65 years old, able to exercise without any issues, and should not have any hearing problems. Importantly, participants must willingly choose to join the study. Those who take part can expect to engage in Tai Chi sessions and music therapy, which are designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall health. This research is a unique opportunity to explore how gentle exercise and music can work together to support older adults in feeling better both physically and mentally.
