Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance was developed by researchers under grants from the US government. Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance was demonstrated effective in decreasing the number of falls, the risk of falling, and fear of falling, and improving functional balance and physical performance among persons aged 70 and older. Continued research resulted in a program, including a community level implementation plan, a participant practice guide & DVD. Finally, a two week pilot demonstration proved that the Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance Program could be successfully disseminated, and implemented at the community level. Portions from the CDC's Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance Guide for Implementation were adapted, compiled, revised, (2011) and published as an instructors' manual, student manual, and an instruction DVD. This instructor's manual is a result of the original research which produced a dramatic reduction in the rate of fallls.
