Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by persistent and usually progressive airflow obstruction with an increased chronic inflammatory response to the airways caused by certain irritant particles. Tai Chi exercises can be applied as a therapeutic modality in pulmonary rehabilitation programs in patients with stable COPD. This systematic review aims to examine the effectiveness of Tai Chi in improving exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. This systematic review search was conducted using four databases: CINAHL, PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus, for the last ten years, starting from 2011- December 2020. The keyword combinations used were: ‘Tai Chi’, ‘Tai Chi Chuan’, ‘Tai Ji Quan’, ‘Quality of Life’, ‘Health- Related Quality of Life’,‘Life Quality’, ‘Exercise Capacity’, ‘COPD’, ‘Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease’.Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for randomized controlled trials was used to assess selected articles' bias and methodological quality. The total articles obtained were 258 articles and 10 research articles were taken using the RCT method for analysis. A 6-month Tai Chi program under the guidance of a therapist can improve exercise capacity and quality of life in COPD patients. Tai Chi is a therapeutic modality that effectively increases exercise capacity and can also improve the quality of life in patients with COPD.
