An Alternative Remote Rehabilitation Strategy for the Improvement of Sarcopenia in the Elderly: Tai Chi as an Exercise Form
Sarcopenia is an age-related disease characterized by a progressive decrease in skeletal muscle content and loss of muscle function. Tai Chi exercises have been shown to improve skeletal muscle mass in elderly people suffering from sarcopenia. However, offline interventions are a very labor- and financial-intensive approach. Therefore, researchers designed an artificial intelligence-assisted program and Tai Chi exercise format to investigate whether a remote rehabilitation approach could replace face-to-face interventions

Exclusion Criteria:
(1) participants taking medications that significantly impact musculoskeletal function (2) participants suffering from respiratory failure or other bodily problems; (3) participants with mental disorders or neurological disorders; (4) patients who participate in other training programs on a regular basis.
