This pilot study evaluates whether a structured, Parkinson's disease-specific Tai Chi programme ("Enhanced Tai Chi") can improve motor and non-motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a progressive neurological condition associated with motor impairments such as bradykinesia, rigidity, gait disturbance and postural instability, as well as non-motor symptoms including fatigue, pain, mood disturbance, sleep problems and cognitive changes. Although pharmacological treatments improve many motor symptoms, balance and postural control often respond poorly, contributing to falls and reduced independence. Enhanced Tai Chi is a tailored programme developed specifically for people with PD, incorporating elements of Tai Chi and Qi Gong focused on balance control, coordination, postural alignment, body awareness and confidence in movement. This single-site, randomised, controlled pilot trial will enrol 30 adults with idiopathic PD (Hoehn \& Yahr stages I-III), randomised in a 2:1 ratio to Enhanced Tai Chi plus usual clinical care or usual clinical care alone. Participants in the intervention group will complete 36 supervised one-hour sessions over 12 weeks (three sessions per week: one in-person and two delivered remotely), with optional independent practice encouraged. Adherence will be monitored through attendance records. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention and 3-month follow-up. Findings will inform feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy estimates to support the design of a future definitive randomised controlled trial.
