Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of 8-week clinical Pilates training on disease-specific indices, core stability, and balance in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. AS patients were randomly assigned to either the Pilates group (PG) or control group (CG). The PG participated in Pilates training 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Patients in the CG were instructed to follow a home exercise program 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Assessments were performed before and after the interventions. Outcome measures were disease-specific indices, core endurance, and balance. Disease-specific indices were: Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath AS Functional Index (BASFI), Bath AS Spinal Mobility Index (BASMI), and the AS Quality of Life (ASqOL) questionnaire. Static core endurance was assessed with trunk flexor, extensor endurance, and lateral side bridge tests, while dynamic core endurance was assessed using modified sit-up test. Balance was assessed with static, dynamic, and single-leg stance postural stability (PS) and limits of stability (LOS) tests using the Biodex Balance System SD.
