Abstract
- Rehabilitation after severe head trauma is a complex process that can be long and frustrating. New, more holistic methods for rehabilitation are constantly sought. We present the cases of 3 patients who had severe head injury and whose rehabilitation was facilitated by Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) therapy. TCC therapy should be taught only by a qualified TCC therapist and under close medical supervision.
