The Effect of Pilates Exercise on Cognitive Function in The Elderly

The number of elderly people worldwide is estimated to increase by 56% between 2015 and 2030. In Indonesia, the number of elderly people is estimated to increase by 23.66 million people, and is expected to continue to increase until 2035. Impaired cognitive function is one of the most common symptoms in the elderly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017 there were 47 million people worldwide who experienced impaired cognitive function. Therefore, appropriate treatment is needed to improve the cognitive function of the elderly. Due to impaired cognitive function, a person becomes dependent on other people to care for themselves. To overcome this cognitive function disorder, it is necessary to carry out community service activities (PKM) in the form of outreach to the community about the importance of Pilates training for the elderly with the aim of overcoming cognitive function disorders in the elderly. Pilates exercise combines strength, flexibility and balance. Pilates exercise is a sport that focuses on lumbo-pelvic stabilization and activation of other body muscles. The methods applied in this activity are lectures, discussions and demonstrations of Pilates exercises and evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation carried out, this socialization activity shows positive and satisfying benefits for the elderly where the elderly's understanding of Pilates exercises has improved. Previously they felt the exercises were very heavy and difficult to implement, but after doing them it turned out that these exercises were very interesting and easy to do. In fact, most of the elderly show a very high desire to continue to learn more and practice these exercises. Overall, this socialization activity received a positive response from the elderly, so it is hoped that it can encourage and motivate the elderly to independently carry out this exercise, considering that Pilates training is very useful in improving cognitive function. By increasing the understanding and interest of the elderly in this exercise, the elderly can develop this exercise on an ongoing basis, both individually and in groups, in order to maintain, develop and improve the cognitive function of the elderly so as to achieve the quality of society in general.

The Effect of Pilates Exercises on Mobility and Dynamic Balance in Former Athletes and Sedentary Individuals

Workout programmes have proven physiological benefits, and it is widely accepted that they can yield more positive health outcomes when parameters such as balance and mobility are at play. This study intends to examine the effects of a 12-week mat pilates workout program on mobility and dynamic balance parameters in the former athlete group (FAG) and the sedentary group (SG). The study was designed in an experimental design with pre-test and post-test in two groups. The study group consisted of 30 female participants, SG (n=15) and FAG (n = 15). Dynamic balance values were measured using the Star Excursion Balance Test, and lower extremity mobility was measured using the Sit and Reach Test. Both groups conducted mat pilates exercises twice a week for 12 weeks. At the end of the 12-week mat pilates workout programme, a significant difference of increase was obtained in the mobility values of the FAG (p<0,002) and the SG (p<0,001). The Y Balance Test identified a significant difference of increase with pre-test and post-test in anterior (p = 0.04), postero-lateral (p = 0.03), posteromedial (p = 0.04) directions balance in the FAG. In the difference between groups, SG showed a significant increase in posterolateral (p = 0.001) and posteromedial (p = 0.002) directions balance than FAG at post-test. At the end of the 12-week mat pilates workout programme, it was revealed out that the FAG scored better in post-test in dynamic balance than the SG although it scored lower in the dynamic balance pre-test than the SG.

Effects of Pilates exercises on quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis: A narrative review

Pilates exercise is a method of mind-body exercise used as a non-medical treatment strategy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) to elicit an outcome of improved health. Our narrative review aims to summarize the efficacy of the Pilates exercise in enhancing the quality-of-life measure among patients with MS. Our review was conducted by searching the following keywords using the Google Scholar search engine and PubMed database: "Pilates exercise", "quality of life", and "multiple sclerosis". Initial screening of literature, using titles and abstracts followed by full-text assessments, identified six clinical studies for this review, encompassing a sample of 187 patients with MS. Five studies concluded that Pilates exercise positively affects the quality of life among MS patients. In contrast, one study concluded that no meaningful effect on quality of life can be found. Almost all reviewed studies supported that Pilates exercise as a clinical approach can improve the quality of life in patients with MS and other parameters related to general health conditions. Therefore, Pilates exercise as a therapeutic method can be introduced.

Effects of Pilates exercises on spine deformities and posture: a systematic review

BackgroundPilates is becoming increasingly popular amongst a wide range of people and is gaining more attention. It is also an effective means of physical rehabilitation. The aim of this systematic review is to explore the effects of Pilates on spinal deformity and posture.MethodThis systematic review was conducted using four recognised academic and scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and Cochrane) to identify articles that met the inclusion criteria. The secondary search used the Google Scholar and the Science Direct search engines. The search for articles for this review began in July 06, 2023 and was concluded on February 01, 2024. The search process for this study was documented using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020). The PEDro scale was used to assess the internal validity and data statistics of the studies included in this systematic review and to evaluate the quality of the studies.ResultsThe systematic review included nine studies that met the inclusion criteria from the 651 studies retrieved, involving a total of 643 participants. The PEDro scale scores of the studies included in this systematic review ranged from 3 to 8. The intervention was in the form of Pilates or Pilates combined exercises. The studies included in this review used outcome measures of Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation (ATR), range of motion (ROM), chest expansion, Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire (SRS-22r) and postural assessment. Research has shown that Pilates is effective in correcting spinal deformities and posture, as well as improving quality of life, pain relief, function and fitness.ConclusionsThis systematic review provide substantial evidence that Pilates has a positive impact on improving spinal deformity and posture. However, more research is needed to validate whether Pilates can be used effectively as a physical therapy for spinal deformity rehabilitation. Pilates has considerable potential for public health interventions.

Effects of pilates exercises on radiographic lumbo-pelvic alignment and range of motion in non-specific low back pain patients

ObjectivesTo determine the effects of Pilates exercises on lumbo-pelvic alignment in non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) patients. MethodsTwenty-two patients (Male:7; Female:15) with NSLBP aged 20–65 years were recruited and classified based on a modified O'Sullivan's classification system into flexion pattern (FP) or active extension pattern (EP) groups. Oswestry Disability index (ODI), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) as well as radiographic lumbar global range of motion (ROM) and lumbo-pelvic alignment were measured Pre- and immediately post-intervention and at 6- and 12-month. The intervention included supervised six-weeks Pilates program with 60 min per session and up to two sessions per week. ResultsLumbar lordosis, sacral slope and sacral inclination were found to be significantly different between the FP and EP groups based on the O'Sullivan's classification system. However, despite the significant changes in RMDQ (p = 0.001), no significant changes were found for any of the alignment parameters (p > 0.05) post intervention for both groups. For lumbar global ROM, a statistically significant change was observed for the EP group (p = 0.028) but not for the FP group (p = 0.249). No significant correlations were identified between any of the self-reported outcomes, radiographic alignment and ROM parameters. ConclusionsPatients self-perceived long-term functional improvements based on responding to questionnaires after Pilates exercises were not reflected in significant changes in lumbo-pelvic alignment or lumbar ROM. This may be due to the current cohort demonstrating within normal ranges due to the lesser severity of their condition, but further research is needed for clarification.

Differences in the Effectiveness of Pilates Exercises and Bobath Exercises on Sitting and Standing Balance in Children with Cerebral Palsy

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Bobath and Pilates exercises on sitting and standing balance in children with cerebral palsy. It utilized a quasi-experimental study design with a two-group pre-test-post-test design. The study included 66 children with cerebral palsy, aged 1-7 years, who were randomly divided into two groups: 33 children received Pilates exercises, and 33 children received Bobath training. The intervention was conducted once a day, three times a week, for 45 minutes over a 16-week period. The results of the paired t-test statistics indicated that Pilates exercises significantly improved sitting balance (p = 0.002) but had no significant effect on standing balance (p = 0.083). On the other hand, Bobath exercises significantly improved both sitting balance (p = 0.001) and standing balance (p = 0.023). Independent t-test results for sitting balance yielded (p = 0.039), and for standing balance (p = 0.034) In conclusion, there were significant differences in both sitting balance and standing balance between the group that underwent Pilates exercises and the group that received Bobath exercises in children with cerebral palsy

The effect of Pilates exercises on sleep quality and fatigue among female students dormitory residents

BackgroundThis study aims to investigate the effect of Pilates exercises on sleep and fatigue among female college students residing in the dormitory.MethodsThis quasi-experimental study, two parallel groups was performed on 80 single female college students (40 per group), between 18 to 26 years old who lived in the two dormitories. One dormitory was considered as the intervention group and another as the control group. The Pilates group received three one-hour Pilates exercise sessions per week for eight weeks and the control group maintained their routine activities. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) were used respectively to assess sleep quality and fatigue levels, at three time points: baseline, end of week four, and eight follow-ups. Fisher’s exact, Chi-square, independent sample t-test and repeated measurements were used.ResultsOverall, 66 participants completed the study (32 and 35 participants in the Pilates and control groups, respectively). After four and eight weeks of intervention, the overall mean score of sleep quality improved significantly (p < 0.001). At week four of the intervention, the Pilates group had a significantly lower mean score for subjective sleep quality and daytime dysfunction than the control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.002, respectively), although sleep duration and habitual sleep efficiency improved after eight weeks of intervention (p < 0.04 and p < 0.034, respectively). Additionally, the overall mean score of fatigue and its dimensions in weeks four and eight of the intervention in the Pilates group were significantly lower compared to the control group (p < 0.001).ConclusionAfter eight weeks of Pilates exercises implementation, most components of sleep quality significantly improved; however, the effect of Pilates exercises on fatigue was evident from week four onward.Trial registration This trial was registered on 2/6/2015 in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials with the IRCT ID: IRCT201412282324N15.

Effects of Pilates exercises on idiopathic scoliosis: a scoping review of the literature.

Scoliosis is a deformity involving changes in three planes. These changes include lateral curvature in the frontal plane, changes in physiological thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angles in the sagittal plane, and rotation of the vertebrae in the transverse plane. The aim of this scoping review was to review and summarize the available literature to determine whether Pilates exercises are an effective treatment for scoliosis. The Cochrane Library (reviews, protocols, trials), PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, Scopus, PEDro, Medline, CINAHL (EBSCO), ProQuest, and Google Scholar electronic databases were used to search for published articles from inception to February 2022. All the searches included English language studies. Keywords were determined as "scoliosis and Pilates" or "idiopathic scoliosis and Pilates", "curve and Pilates", "spinal deformity and Pilates." Seven studies were included; one study was a meta-analysis study, three studies compared Pilates and Schroth exercises, and three applied Pilates exercises in combined therapy. The studies included in this review used outcome measurements of Cobb angle, ATR, chest expansion, SRS-22r, posture assessment, weight distribution, and psychological factors such as depression. The results of this review suggest that the level of evidence regarding the effect of Pilates exercises on scoliosis-related deformity is very limited. Pilates exercises can be applied to reduce asymmetrical posture in individuals with mild scoliosis with reduced growth potential and progression risk.
