Investigation of the Effects of Pilates Training in Parkinson Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

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. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
