Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Tai Chi Boosts Quality of Life in Heart Failure

A study reported in MedPage Today found patients with heart failure may experience improvements in their quality of life and mood by taking part in a tai chi program. Researchers postulated that tai chi could be particularly helpful for frail elderly patients with debilitating heart failure.

The study was published in volume 171, pp. 750-757 of the Archives of Internal Medicine. G. Yeh is the lead author.
