The present study is a sub-study of the ENTAiER study. The ENTAiER study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eurythmy therapy and Tai Chi in comparison to standard care in chronically ill older patients with an increased risk of falling. In addition to the main questions of the ENTAiER study, three additional questions are being investigated at the Hospital Essen-Steele: Proteome and telomere analyses as well as qualitative parameters are recorded and examined. The aim is to compare the changes in proteomes, telomeres and qualitative factors under eurythmy therapy, Tai Chi and standard care in chronically ill older patients with an increased risk of falling.
