简要总结
Although Pilates has been proposed as a useful rehabilitation strategy in PD, research on its feasibility and potential effects on the motor symptoms and balance with this population is scarce. Some works have included Pilates as part of combined exercise session interventions, but information concerning their specific effects was not provided. Under these circumstances, this study aims at identifying the effects of adding Pilates as part of a conventional exercise rehabilitation program on the motor symptoms and static balance of PD persons. Participants (n=15) were assigned to a Pilates (PG) or to a conventional exercise group (CG) and performed one land-based and one water-based exercise session per week for 14 weeks. The MDS-UPDRS and a stabilometer were used to assess the impact of the intervention on the participant´s motor symptoms and static balance.

研究组 & 干预措施
Pilates
The Pilates program covered a 12-week period, two weekly sessions. In one session, exercises were performed on a mat (Mat Pilates), and in the second session in standing and sitting position. The programme included warm-up exercises, the main part of the session and cooling activities.
干预措施: Pilates (Other)
Conventional Exercise
The conventional exercise programme covered a 12-week period, two weekly sessions. The programme aimed at improving aerobic capacity, muscular resistance, balance and flexibility. The program combined land-based and water-based exercise sessions.
干预措施: Conventional Exercise (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Motor impairment.
时间窗: The participants were assessed one week before starting the program (week #0).
The Spanish adapted version of the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) was administered to assess the impact of the intervention on the motor impairment and disability related to PD. The MDS-UPDRS total score ranges from zero to 200, with higher scores indicating a greater impact of PD symptoms.
次要结局
- Anthropometric Measurements.(The participants were assessed one week before starting the program (week #0).)
- Change from baseline Anthropometric Measurements at week 15.(The participants were assessed one week after the programme was completed (week #15).)
- Change from week 15 Anthropometric Measurements at week 18 follow-up.(Follow-up assessment was performed four weeks after training ended (week #18).)
- Static Balance at baseline.(The participants were assessed one week before starting the program (week #0).)
- Change from baseline Static Balance at 15 weeks.(The participants were assessed one week after the programme was completed (week #15).)
- Change from week 15 Static Balance at week 18 follow-up.(Follow-up assessment was performed four weeks after training ended (week #18).)
- Change from baseline Motor Impairment at 15 weeks.(The participants were assessed one week after the programme was completed (week #15).)
- Change from week 15 Motor Impairment at week 18 follow-up.(Follow-up assessment was performed four weeks after training ended (week #18).)
