简要总结
The purpose of this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the three-month Chan-Chung qigong program in improving physical functional performance and quality of life in patients with mild to moderate cognitive impairments.A quasi-experimental design was adopted. Subjects were recruited from cognitive impairments outpatients these subjects,41were assigned to the control group and 41 to the experimental group in which Chan-Chuang qigong was administered.
详细描述
This study randomized controlled trial with four repeated measurements was conducted between Apply 2016 and October 2017. Participants in the Qigong group were given a structured program about Chan-Chung qigong for 3 months; those in the control group received usual care for cognitive impairment during the same study period. The intervention effects were measured by muscular strength, muscular endurance, and 6-min walk distance at baseline, Month 1, Month 2, and Month 3. In addition, QoL was measured at baseline and Month 3.

结局指标
主要结局
The findings of this study indicate Chan-Chuang qigong improved physical function performance with cognitive impairment.
时间窗: 3 months
this study considered the influences of cognition status and changes. After the intervention measures were implemented, the Qigong group had significant differences in physiological function, muscle endurance, and cardiopulmonary fitness compared with the control group.
There was no significant between-group difference in the physical and mental components at baseline.
时间窗: 3 months
However, a significant between-group difference was in the physical , not mental, component on Month 3. In addition, no significant within-group difference in either Qigong or control group
