Arm Description
All sessions were conducted online, with participants practicing along with Tai Chi videos while the AI guided the movements throughout the session. A remote rehabilitation program was installed in patients' homes by study team members. Participants who do not know how to use a computer were assisted by their family members.
All sessions were conducted in an online format, with participants practicing along with Tai Chi videos while the professional Tai Chi instructors supervised and guided the movements throughout the session. A computer connected to a high-resolution webcam was used to establish real-time remote visual communication between the rehabilitation unit and the patient's home via Tencent conferencing software (Meeting/Tencent).
All sessions were conducted offline and implemented by professional Tai Chi instructors. The audio from the video used for the other two groups was utilized to assist the practice of participants in traditional rehabilitation - Tai Chi group.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Sarcopenia is an age-related disease characterized by a progressive decrease in skeletal muscle content and loss of muscle function. Tai Chi exercises have been shown to improve skeletal muscle mass in elderly people suffering from sarcopenia. However, offline interventions are a very labor- and financial-intensive approach. Therefore, researchers designed an artificial intelligence-assisted program and Tai Chi exercise format to investigate whether a remote rehabilitation approach could replace face-to-face interventions

Intervention Description
All the participants received a three-month intervention which consisted two stage: the first month was the movement learning and consolidation phase, with 45 minutes of Tai Chi practice per session and three times each week; the last two months were the formal practice phase with 45 minutes of Tai Chi practice per session and three times each week. In the first phase, participants learned four new movements in each session and consolidated these exercises in the next session. After all the movements have been learned, use the remaining time in the first stage to consolidate the exercises. In the second phase, participants performed a complete Tai Chi exercise in each session.
