Experimental Design (Public) The feasibility project on clinical trial was applied. the recuitment is processing at the outpatient stroke center. once the primary physician screened the potential candiates according to the inclusion criteria, the researcher explained them about the study purpose and the random assisgnment process either to Tai Chi exercise program or to the text message couseling program for their symptom management. All candidates were explained the choice of the group assignment was random. When the candidates signed the consent form, they participated in pretest measure with an assigned physiotherapist at rehabilitation center, who are not involved in recruiting process. 1.
