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

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI telerehabilitation - Tai Chi | Experimental | All sessions were conducted online, with participants practicing along with Tai Chi videos while the AI guided the movements throughout the session. A remote rehabilitation program was installed in patients' homes by study team members. Participants who do not know how to use a computer were assisted by their family members. |
|
| general telerehabilitation - Tai Chi | Active Comparator | All sessions were conducted in an online format, with participants practicing along with Tai Chi videos while the professional Tai Chi instructors supervised and guided the movements throughout the session. A computer connected to a high-resolution webcam was used to establish real-time remote visual communication between the rehabilitation unit and the patient's home via Tencent conferencing software (Meeting/Tencent). |
|
| traditional rehabilitation - Tai Chi | Active Comparator | All sessions were conducted offline and implemented by professional Tai Chi instructors. The audio from the video used for the other two groups was utilized to assist the practice of participants in traditional rehabilitation - Tai Chi group. |
|
| AI telerehabilitation - Yi Jin Jing | Experimental | All sessions were conducted online, with participants practicing along with Yi Jin Jing videos while the AI guided the movements throughout the session. A remote rehabilitation program was installed in patients' homes by study team members. Participants who do not know how to use a computer were assisted by their family members. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI telerehabilitation - Tai Chi | Behavioral | All the participants received a three-month intervention which consisted two stage: the first month was the movement learning and consolidation phase, with 45 minutes of Tai Chi practice per session and three times each week; the last two months were the formal practice phase with 45 minutes of Tai Chi practice per session and three times each week. In the first phase, participants learned four new movements in each session and consolidated these exercises in the next session. After all the movements have been learned, use the remaining time in the first stage to consolidate the exercises. In the second phase, participants performed a complete Tai Chi exercise in each session. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Using quantitative CT to investigate the change of skeletal muscle area in sarcopenic elderly. | articipants will receive quantitative CT scans before and after the intervention to assess the change from baseline skeletal muscle area at 3 months. | Month 3 |
| Using a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer to investigate change of handgrip in sarcopenic elderly. | Participants will receive a handgrip strength test before and after the intervention to assess the change from baseline handgrip strength at 3 months. | Month 3 |
| Using a bioelectrical impedance body composition analyzer with a multifrequency device to investigate the change of relative skeletal muscle mass index in sarcopenic elderly. | Participants will receive a relative skeletal muscle mass index test before and after the intervention to assess the change from baseline relative skeletal muscle index at 3 months. | Month 3 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Collect participants' self-evaluation of their life state and physical state. | Participants were asked to write a self-assessment report of no more than 500 words before and after the intervention, including physical status and life status. | Month 3 |
| Collect video of participants throughout the intervention. |
