“…In eight of the ten studies the implemented programs of pilates exercises led to an improvement in the results, in the sense that there was a decrease in the angles of lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis as well as positive changes in other measured parameters. Only in the works of Kloubec et al, (2010) and Sinzato et al (2013) were no improvements noted in the measured parameters of postural status.…”

Pilates exercise programs focus on increasing the strength and flexibility of muscles which make up core stability. Since the same muscles take part in maintaining proper posture, the aim of this study was to provide an overview of the existing research in order to determine the effects of a pilates exercise program on the improvement of postural status. When searching electronic databases, the following key words were used: spine, posture, effect, pilates, kyphosis, scoliosis, lordosis. Based on the set criteria, that the research was published after 2010 and that the applied pilates exercise programs focused on correcting postural status, the final analysis included 10 studies. An analysis of the characteristics of the sample of participants indicates that the problem of postural disorders is equally present among individuals of various ages. In terms of gender, in the analyzed studies the female population was almost four times the size of the male population. In most of the studies the exercise program lasted for 8 and 12 weeks, with 2 to 3 training sessions per week, with a duration of 60 min. Eight of the analyzed studies show that pilates exercise programs led to an improvement in the postural status. Based on the extensive analysis, it can be concluded that pilates has positive effects on the correction of postural disorders of the spinal column, such as kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis among people of different ages.

“…In most of the studies the exercise programs lasted from 8 to 12 weeks. The weekly frequency was twice a week in seven studies, in two of the studies it was three times a week, while a frequency of only once a week was noted in the study of Schroeder et al (2014). In all the studies the duration of an individual training session was 60 minutes.…”

| Abstract |1 )PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the effects of short term Schroth exercise on the Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation (ATR), cosmetic appearance, and quality of life (QOL) in idiopathic scoliosis patients. METHODS:Five subjects with idiopathic scoliosis, (female, 3; male, 2) curvature type: thoracic, 2; lumbar, 3 underwent short term Schroth exercise for seven days. The exercise was performed for 3 h long sessions per day. The Cobb angle and QOL were measured before and after the intervention. ATR and cosmetic appearance were measured once. Sessions consisted of one baseline, seven intervention and three follow-up phases.

RESULTS:After the intervention, the Cobb angle was found to be significantly improve (p <.05), while the QOL did not differ (p>.05). The ATR showed decreased trends in the intervention phase. Data points during the intervention and follow-up phases showed a decrease in comparison with data points at the baseline, indicating that Schroth exercise might be effective in reducing the ATR and that these effects can be maintained after the intervention. Cosmetic appearance did not showed changed trends during the Schroth exercise intervention phase. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that short termSchroth exercise may be valuable in improving the Cobb angle and ATR in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
