“…The effect of Pilates on ATR (°) was assessed in 2 studies [ 24 , 32 ] (n = 146). On the basis of their findings, they reported that Pilates may have some benefit in improving trunk rotation (SMD = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.01–1.73; I 2 = 0%, P < .001) (Fig.…”

“…Two trials evaluated the effect of Pilates on trunk ROM (°) [ 24 , 27 ] (n = 47). A higher ROM was provided by Pilates exercise training (SMD = 1.23, 95% CI = 0.45–2.00; I 2 = 28%, P = .002), and based on a randomized-effects model, there may be some benefit of Pilates exercise training on trunk ROM compared to the waiting list or breathing exercise (Fig.…”

“…They claimed that Schroth was more effective than Pilates in reducing the Cobb angle because the 3-dimensional corrective exercise and breathing techniques were prescribed according to the shape of each participant's curve. [24,47,48] However, the Schroth method is a static exercise that tends to fatigue patients [32] while the Pilates exercise can not only provide the patient with various tips to help complete the exercise, but also allow the patients to synchronize the exercise to music and is less likely to fatigue. This may encourage the participation of patients with scoliosis.…”

Background: It remains unclear if Pilates is conducive to reducing spinal deformity and improving patients’ quality of life (QOL) with scoliosis. The aim of this study was to systematically review the published evidence to determine whether Pilates exercise training is an efficacious therapy for scoliosis. Methods: Searches was conducted in Medline, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane library, Baidu Scholar, and Green Medical to identify randomized studies that tested the effect of Pilates exercise training on Cobb angle, pain level, trunk range of motion (ROM), angle of trunk rotation, and QOL in idiopathic scoliosis. Separate meta-analyses were performed on the endpoints of these outcome measures. The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Results: This review included 10 randomized controlled trials (n = 359). PEDro scores ranged from 3 to 10, with the mean score across all articles being 5.3/10 and judged to be of fair quality. The results indicated that Pilates exercises was effective in reducing Cobb angle (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.11–2.35), angle of trunk rotation (SMD = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.01–1.73), and pain level (SMD = 2.78, 95% CI = 1.55–4.01), as well as improving trunk ROM (SMD = 1.23, 95% CI = 0.45–2.00), and QOL (SMD = 3.05, 95% CI = 2.59–3.51) in patients with scoliosis. Conclusion: Pilates exercise training may reduce the Cobb angle and trunk rotation, relieve pain, increase trunk ROM, and improve QOL for patients with scoliosis. Due to the poor quality of the evidence, however, these results should be interpreted with caution.

“…Seo and Hong [9] observed a significant reduction in Cobb' s angle using X-ray imaging techniques to verify the effectiveness after 10 weeks of Pilates exercise in patients with scoliosis, and the effect of body alignment was confirmed by obtaining a significant decrease in Cobb's angle [8]. Pilates exercise has been reported to be effective not only in posture correction but also in relieving back pain [17].…”

Exercise movement techniques Pilates training Posture Rehabilitation SportsBackground: Pilates exercises are used for body shape correction because they can achieve correct posture alignment through spinal stabilization.Objects: This study aimed to determine whether the use of reformers increases the effectiveness of Pilates core exercises on body alignment in standing. Methods:The study included 30 women without known diagnoses of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders or cancer. Those who had taken more than 10 Pilates lessons were excluded. The participants were randomly assigned to either the reformer exercise group or the mat exercise group, and interventional Pilates exercises were performed for 60 minutes a day, three times a week, for a total of 8 weeks. Ten movements of the reformer and mat Pilates core exercise programs were included. Exbody ® 9100 MOMI musculoskeletal analysis equipment (Exbody Inc.) was used to assess the alignment of the standing posture in the frontal plane.Results: As a result of comparing the differences within and between the groups before and after the intervention using the two-way mixed analysis of variance test, height differences in the head, pelvis, left and right, shoulders, scapulas, knees, and ankles in the frontal plane after the intervention were found in both groups. For example, the left-right symmetry of the body alignment in the standing posture was significantly improved within each group (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion:Both the reformer and mat Pilates core exercises were effective for standing posture alignment, which has clinical significance. If an exercise program is developed based on the analysis of movements necessary for posture improvement and the target muscles to be strengthened, the same effect can be achieved only with mat exercise without using the reformer equipment at the beginner stage.In a study by HwangBo [8], mat Pilates was applied to scoliosis patients with a Cobb's angle of 20° or less for 12 weeks,

IntroductionPilates is commonly used to treat postural misalignments; however, there is a lack of systematic reviews on this topic.ObjectiveTo verify the effects of Pilates on postural misalignment.MethodsA search (25 February 2024) was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Web of Science, LILACS, SportDiscus, and PEDro. The methodological quality was assessed via the PEDro scale, and the certainty of evidence via the GRADE system. The meta‐analysis was conducted using the standardised mean difference (SMD).ResultsEighteen studies were included in the systematic review. Eight studies had a low risk of bias. In children and adolescents, there was moderate certainty of evidence that Pilates improves postural alignment of the thoracic angle (SMD = −0.45 [0.67, −0.23]) and lumbar angle (SMD = −0.29 [–0.50, −0.07]) compared with inactive controls, whereas there was very low certainty of evidence that the Schroth technique is superior to Pilates for scoliosis (SMD = 0.98 [0.32, 1.65]). In adults, very low‐ to low‐certainty evidence has indicated that Pilates improves postural alignment of the shoulder angle (SMD = −0.78 [–1.23, −0.33]), scoliosis (SMD = −0.52 [–1.01, −0.04]) and lumbar lordosis (SMD = −0.40 [0.72, −0.08]) compared with inactive controls and improve the craniovertebral angle (SMD = −1.24 [–2.85, −0.38]) compared with stretching and strengthening exercises.ConclusionPilates has some potential for improving postural misalignment of the thoracic and lumbar angles in children and adolescents. However, for other body segments, due to the low certainty of the evidence, further studies are needed.
