Tai Chi exercises have increasingly grown in popularity among older adults in the past decades. It has been well studied to its efficacies in proportion with the management of elderly fall prevention and mineral-structured bone density enhancement. Nevertheless, existing study sources do little exemplified a quantifiable measures of effects in patients suffer from osteoarthritis of knees being impacted from a routine performance of Tai Chi.

The international Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form is designed to measure physical activity, and standardize measures of health-related physical activity behavior through 8 questions and divide patients into 3 activity groups. The health-enhancing physical activity level of category is for those people who either engaged in (1) ≥ 1500 MET-minutes on vigorous-intensity activity for at least three days, OR (2) at a combination of walking, moderate to vigorous intensity activities accumulative performance to ≥ 3000 MET-minutes per week. The Minimally Active level category is considered at the enrollment of (3) ≥ 20 mins vigorous activity for at least three days, OR (4) moderate-intensity activity or walking for ≥ 30 mins for at least five days, OR (5) any combination of walking, moderate/vigorous-intensity activities for at least 600 MET-minutes per week.
