Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was planned to examine the effects of Pilates training in Parkinson's Patients. The study included 34 Parkinson's patients between Hoehn \& Yahr Stage 1-2.5. Pilates training was applied to the Pilates group for 8 weeks, 3 days per week. To the control group; Breathing exercises, active range of motion exercises and relaxation exercises were given as a home program 3 days per week for 8 weeks. It was concluded that Pilates training performed to Parkinson's patients 3 times a week for 8 weeks was effective on "core" stability, thickness of "core" muscles, functional exercise capacity, motor functions, freezing, fatigue and QOL.

Detailed Description

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

This study was planned to examine the effects of Pilates training, which is a "core" stability based exercise method that improves body alignment, postural control and balance, on "core" stability, the thickness of the "core" muscles, functional exercise capacity, motor functions, freezing, fatigue and daily life activities (ADLs) in Parkinson's Patients. The study included 34 Parkinson's patients between Hoehn \& Yahr Stage 1-2.5. The patients were randomly divided into two groups as as Pilates (n: 17) and control (n: 17). Pilates training was applied to the Pilates group for 8 weeks, 3 days per week. To the control group; Breathing exercises, active range of motion exercises and relaxation exercises were given as a home program 3 days per week for 8 weeks. The "core" power with the "sit-ups" and the modified "push-ups" tests, the "core" endurans with lateral bridge, trunk flexor endurance and "prone bridge" tests, the thickness of the "core" muscles by ultrasonography, functional strength of the lower limbs with 5 Times Sit Up Test (5TSST), balance with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), functional mobility; with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), functional exercise capacity and walking with the 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT), motor impairment with the United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)-III, freezing with Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOGQ), fatigue with Parkinson's Fatigue Scale (PFS-16), ADLs with UPDRS-II, quality of life (QOL) with Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) were evaluated before and after treatment.

Pilates Group

Pilates training was carried out as group exercises for about 1 hour, 3 days a week for 8 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pilates Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Pilates training was carried out as group exercises for about 1 hour, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Before starting the exercise training, all subjects were taught the key elements of Pilates in 1 session. Pilates training started with standing exercises for warming up and centering in the supine position. Training continued with upper and lower extremity movements. The intensity of the exercises was increased using different positions and elastic bands. Stretching exercises and posture exercises were used during the cooling period. All exercises were started with 10 repetitions and then increased to 20. In order for the patients to perform the movements correctly, each movement was first demonstrated by the physiotherapist. The movements that the patients could not do were applied by modifying them in a suitable way.

Control Group

Breathing exercises, active range of motion exercises and relaxation exercises were given to the control group as a home program. They were asked to do the exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
