Abstract

Objectives

To examine the effect of integrated motor learning clinical pilates protocol we developed for patients with Parkinson’s Disease (pwPD) on providing enduring motor skills in walking, balance, reaction time, cadence, and functional mobility at 3-months follow-up.

Design

A parallel-group, randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Setting

XXX Medical Center, XXX, and XXX Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Center, Nicosia.

Participants

32 pwPD with Hoehn&Yahr stages 2–3 were randomly assigned to the Parkinsonpilates Group (PP) and the Conventional Physiotherapy (CP) Group.

Interventions

Both groups received 60 min of training, twice a week, and a home physiotherapy program 4 times a week, for 12 weeks. The intervention group received PP, while the CP group received general physiotherapy training for PD.

Main outcome measures

The primary outcomes were untimed Gait and Balance Scale, Cadence, and Nelson Foot Reaction Test scores. The secondary outcomes were The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-III subscales, Timed Up and Go Test, Functional Reach Test, and Berg Balance Scale. Outcomes were convened 4 times: pre-test, 6. weeks, post-treatment, and after 3-month follow-up.

Results

At post-test, gait and balance, reaction time, functional mobility, static and dynamic balance showed a significant improvement in PP compared to CP, and the motor examination was similar(p > .05). In addition to these results at follow-up, functional mobility was similar(p > .05) and cadence(p < .05) showed a significant improvement in PP. In addition, according to pairwise comparisons, the PP showed a significant improvement in cadence and reaction time in all 4 measures compared to CP.

Conclusions

More studies are needed to clarify the effects of the program we developed for PD. It should not be ignored that our protocol can be improved again according to the suggestions of future studies.

期刊介绍： Complementary Therapies in Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed journal that has considerable appeal to anyone who seeks objective and critical information on complementary therapies or who wishes to deepen their understanding of these approaches. It will be of particular interest to healthcare practitioners including family practitioners, complementary therapists, nurses, and physiotherapists; to academics including social scientists and CAM researchers; to healthcare managers; and to patients. Complementary Therapies in Medicine aims to publish valid, relevant and rigorous research and serious discussion articles with the main purpose of improving healthcare.
