Every year nearly 60% of older adults fall causing injury, hospitalization, and even death. The research problem addressed in this study was to find an exercise program that improves balance control, mobility efficacy, and emotional well-being to aid in reducing the incidence of falls. The purpose of the study was to compare tai chi and a traditional balance exercise program with two groups of older adults 65 and older. In addition, the study addressed whether or not these older adults would continue their exercises after the initial instruction. The research question addressed the efficacy of the two interventions to improve balance, mobility efficacy, emotional well-being and exercise adherence. Data was collected at pretest, 10 weeks and 14 weeks. Using a 3 (time) x 2 (group) mixed-model analysis of variance design, baseline and postintervention measures of outcome variables were compared: treatment group was the between-subject variable and testing period was the within-subject variable. Data analysis revealed no statistically significant results for mobility efficacy. The data did reveal significant results for home exercise program minutes per day. In addition, objective balance showed statistically significant results. The results for time (week 1, 10 and 14) for depression and home exercise practice did not reach statistical significant when corrected for a Type-I error. There were no significant effects with anxiety. The results of this study identify ways that can assist older adults in reducing hospital admissions from unexpected falls and depression-related illnesses. In addition, these interventions are simple to learn, cost-effective, and easy for older adults to continue independently.
