Stroke survivors improve balance with tai chi

"Stroke can impair balance, heightening the risk of a debilitating fall. But a University of Illinois at Chicago researcher has found that stroke survivors can improve their balance by practising the Chinese martial art of tai chi.

Now she and a colleague have seen similar results in a group of stroke survivors" - Science Centric
