Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that includes motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms. At present, there is no effective treatment method for PD and its progression, and only motor symptoms (including tremor, rigidity and being slow, etc.) can be treated with symptomatic treatment, but there is almost no reliable and effective treatment for non-motor symptoms. Tai Ji Quan has certain curative effect in the treatment of motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms of PD. The purpose of this paper is to review the progress in the role of Tai Ji Quan in motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms of PD.
