A prática dos exercícios de Tai Chi Chuan tem sido muito divulgada e inúmeras pesquisas buscam um melhor embasamento teórico-conceitual para a fundamentação de seus possíveis benefícios no controle postural e, conseqüentemente, na prevenção dos mecanismos de quedas em idosos. Por meio de revisão da literatura, verificou-se a relação existente entre a realização de tais atividades no equilíbrio e postura em idosos. Inúmeras pesquisas fornecem resultados significativos relacionados í redução dos episódios de quedas, de pessoas que se submeteram aos programas específicos envolvendo os exercícios de Tai Chi Chuan. Pode-se concluir que as atividades investigadas são benéficas para os idosos, particularmente no que se refere ao controle postural. Os exercícios de Tai Chi Chuan que envolvem equilíbrio, mobilidade e controle postural em idosos, devem ser específicos e respeitar as particularidades relacionadas ao nível de estabilidade funcional desses indivíduos.
Palavras-chave: Tai Chi Chuan, quedas, controle postural, idosos, reabilitação.
