To conduct their study, the researchers recruited patients who had sporadic Parkinson's disease. This is a type of Parkinson's disease that's not inherited from a family member. They focused on sporadic Parkinson's disease so that they could examine the benefits of tai chi exclusively on Parkinson's symptoms.
All participants were at an early stage of Parkinson's disease and had only been diagnosed for four years on average. This meant that any changes in symptoms observed between the two groups could be attributed to tai chi. The control group also on average took more Parkinson's drugs to manage symptoms over the course of the study compared to the tai chi group. This either means that the disease was more severe and progressed faster in the control group, or that tai chi had a protective effect on disease progression.
