“…We also confirmed that a 12-week Pilates exercise intervention, twice a week for 1 hour each time, can significantly improve trunk flexibility in women. Our finding is supported by other researchers (Alves de Araújo et al, 2012;Otto et al, 2004;Rogers & Gilbson, 2009;Segal et al, 2004;Sekendiz et al, 2007). Looking at previous research that focused on sitting trunk flexion as the measurement index, we verified that the magnitude to which the flexibility improved through exercises is affected by the instruments chosen.…”

“…The benefits of Pilates in improving adult body flexibility have also been closely examined and repeatedly verified in many countries (Alves de Araújo et al, 2012;Otto et al, 2004;Rogers & Gilbson, 2009;Segal et al, 2004;Sekendiz et al, 2007). In earlier research, it was confirmed that a 7-week Pilates exercise could significantly improve the range of motion of shoulder joints, hip joints, and knee joints for university students majoring in ballet and modern dance (Fitt, Sturman, & McClain-Smith, 1994).…”

Researchers in Taiwan studying regular adult physical activity found that among married women aged 26 to 55 years, 56% participated in physical activity, and that the convenience and safety of the activity were major factors contributing to their willingness to exercise. Muscle weakness and poor trunk flexibility are closely related to some chronic diseases in women. In this cross-sectional survey, we used the Polestar Pilates™ method to explore the effects of a 12-week Pilates course on the physical fitness of women living in the community. Fifty-three members of the experimental group (mean age: 42.30 ± 9.97) and 43 of the control group (mean age: 41.23 ± 9.83) were included. We confirm that a convenient Pilates exercise intervention can significantly improve muscle strength and trunk flexibility in women. Our findings serve as an important reference for health authorities in Taiwan and provide higher awareness of women's health and physical fitness, which can help prevent chronic and cardiovascular diseases.

[Purpose] This study aimed to verify the change in range of motion of the temporomandibular joint on correction of scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] This study examined 31 male and female participants in their 20s and 30s with a spinal curve degree of 10° or greater. The subjects performed therapeutic exercise based on the pilates exercise system, which is known to be effective in mitigating the spinal curve for patients with scoliosis. All participants completed an 8-week therapeutic exercise regimen to alleviate the scoliosis in which exercise was performed, the exercise was done three times a week for 8 weeks and each session lasted 60 minutes. Among them, 19 participants were selected as an experiment group, whose symptoms were mitigated significantly, and 12 participants who did not undergo the exercise were identified as a control group. All subject was assessed for spinal curve degree, apparent leg length discrepancy, and deviation and range of motion of the temporomandibular joint before and after the study. [Results] In the experimental group, the apparent leg length discrepancy and the deviation of the temporomandibular joint were significantly decreased after the exercise, and the ROM in the temporomandibular joint was significantly increased. In intergroup comparisons, all variables showed a significant difference. [Conclusion] The findings suggest that as the spinal curve degree decreases significantly, the range of motion and deviation in the temporomandibular joint showed a significant change, indicating that mild scoliosis may be a negative factor affecting the deviation and range of motion of the temporomandibular joint.

Büyüklük, yer, yön ve eğrilik nedenine bağlı olarak sınıflandırılmakta ve tedavi edilmediği takdirde ciddi sağlık sorunları yaşanmasına yol açmaktadır. Erken tanı, zaman içinde oluşacak diğer deformitelerin önlenmesi için çok önemlidir. Risk grubu yaş aralığı 9-15 yıl olan çocuklardan oluşmaktadır, bu yüzden okul taramaları erken tanı için önemlidir. Çalışmada, literatürdeki şu alt başlıklı çalışmalara yer verilmiştir; Bunlar; 1. Skolyozda erken tanı için okul taramalarının önemi, 2. Skolyoz ve antropometrik ölçümler arasındaki ilişki, 3. Egzersizin skolyoz tedavisindeki etkinliği. İncelenen çalışmalardaki ortak kanı, okul taramaları yolu ile büyük populasyonlara ulaşılabileceği, skolyozun erken teşhis edilebileceği ve gerekli önlemlerin zamanında alınabileceğidir. Özel ve amaca yönelik egzersizlerin-genel egzersizlere oranla-skolyoz tedavisinde etkin olduğu ve cerrahi müdahaleyi önleyebildiği ispatlanmaktadır. Skolyoz için okul taramaları ilk ve ortaokullarda bir devlet uygulaması hâline gelmeli; aile, öğretmen ve sağlık kuruluşlarının koordineli çalışmalarıyla toplumsal farkındalık yaratılmalıdır. Erken yaşta fark edilen skolyozun tedavisi için özel rehabilitasyon merkezlerinin kurulması önerilmektedir.
