This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether two traditional Chinese movement practices — Tai Chi and Qi Gong — can help people with early-stage Parkinson's disease improve their balance, posture, and ability to move. Both practices combine slow, gentle movements with focused breathing and are designed to be safe, low-impact exercises. The study will compare which one works better (or if they work equally well) over 8 to 12 weeks.
Parkinson's disease affects movement and balance, making people at risk of falls and loss of independence. This trial exists because doctors are looking for safe, non-medication ways to help patients maintain their ability to move and stay balanced — especially early in the disease when prevention is important.

You will be randomly assigned to either a Tai Chi group or a Qi Gong group. For 8 to 12 weeks, you'll attend sessions where you'll learn and practice gentle, slow movements combined with deep breathing — whichever practice your group is doing. Your balance, posture, and movement ability will be tested at the start and end of the study to see if the practice helped you.
