In this study, the use of the experimental method,36patients with chronic low backpain patients were randomly divided into three groups of12people. A group tai chitraining; Group B of core stability training; C does not participate in a planned training.By Vicon system, measuring units, wireless surface electromyography tester threeinstruments simultaneously, gait and freedom were tested three groups of people acrossthe barrier characteristics. Before and after the experiment aims to change the gaitcharacteristics of patients with chronic low back pain, assessment Taijiquan function inpatients with chronic low back pain improve the situation. In order to provide a morein-depth study of tai chi theory reference relations with lower back pain, and lower backpain in this study may provide a more exercise therapy effective tai chi interventionservices in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic low back pain.Conclusions:(1) After12weeks of training, the tai chi group after experimental step, pace, withsignificant differences, and the support of the extension, step width decreases. The resultssuggest that tai chi exercises can increase the stability of the pace, increase lower limbmuscle strength.(2) After12weeks of training, the tai chi group showed gait freedom: the support ofthe greatest hip extension angle, maximum swing phase ankle dorsiflexion angleincreased significantly; hip, ankle range of motion in the sagittal plane significantlyincreased. The results showed that across gait disorders: tai chi group showed significantsupport maximum hip extension angle, maximum swing hip flexion, knee flexion biggestchange; tai chi group hip range of motion in the sagittal plane in before and after theexperiment was a significant difference. The results show that Tai Chi exercises canimprove hip flexion and extension capabilities and range of motion of the hip, knee andthe ankle joints of the ankle joint(3) After12weeks of training, the tai chi group showed gait freedom: the support ofthe maximum torque increases hip, hip load increases. Hip acting increases, acting toreduce ankle, knee acting almost unchanged; when crossing obstacles, the Tai Chi groupsupporting the knee in the middle of the smallest moments after the experiment on the rise.Acting to increase hip, knee, ankle, little change. The results showed that tai chi exercises,hip, knee and the ankle joint torque and acting more evenly distributed, so that a morecoordinated gait pattern.(4) After12weeks of training, the tai chi group gastrocnemius and tibialis anteriormuscle showed some changes in the other two groups had no significant change. Theresults suggest that, in common with the contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle tibialisanterior muscle, may play a role in maintaining the stability of the ankle joint.12weeks tai chi exercise can improve gait in patients with chronic low back pain,with some rehabilitation therapy.
