Description
Summary:This study is a two-arm randomized controlled trial that analyzed the effects of Mat Pilates on range of motion, balance, flexibility and functional mobility in people with Parkinson’s. 23 individuals were randomized in Mat Pilates group and control group, pre and post-intervention data collection were made evaluating shoulder amplitude (Absolute Axis 360); balance (Mini-BESTest); flexibility (Sit and reach test); and functional mobility (TUG). The results showed significant intragroup differences in Mat Pilates group on balance (p<0.001), functional mobility (p=0.011), range of motion of the right shoulder in abduction (p=0.002) and left shoulder in abduction (p=0.006), although, in flexibility there were no significant differences. There were no intergroup differences and the intragroup presented worsening results in right shoulder flexion (p=0.008). A Mat Pilates protocol can be a complementary treatment to improve balance, functional mobility and shoulder range of motion in abduction in people with Parkinson’s disease.
