Abstract
In this pre-experimental study, 27 respondents were selected based on a set inclusion criteria. Out of the 27 participants, 18 agreed to join the study and two (2) respondents dropped out. Baseline and post-test measurements were assessed using the Berg Balance Scale. The intervention used was eight (8) sessions of Tai Chi guided by a video prescribed by a Tai Chi instructor to improve balance. Dependent t-test showed that the balance of the patients with chronic stroke significantly improved after the Tai Chi program except for the three (3) respondents who skipped treatment.
