Summary

Stroke, a debilitating cerebrovascular event, frequently leads to severe motor and sensory impairments resulting in a diminished quality of life. Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art known for its slow, flowing movements, emphasis on breath control, and mindfulness, presents an intriguing avenue for stroke rehabilitation. While cycling exercises facilitates muscle control of the lower limbs, which may allow putting more weight on the affected leg while standing, also beneficial for stroke survivors.
