Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong compared knee and ankle proprioception among elderly adults who were long-term tai chi practitioners, swimmers, runners or who were sedentary. The long-term tai chi practitioners had better knee and ankle proprioception than the sedentary group and better ankle proprioception than the swimming and running group as well. The researchers suggest that enhanced proprioception may result in the maintenance of balance control in older people.
