ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the effect of Pilates exercise on the level of fatigue, cognition and knee proprioception in elderly population (60-80 years).

Study design: experimental study; randomized control trial.

Method: 40 subjects both male and female of age ranging from 60-80 years (66.578 ± 4.857 in group A and 69.4 ± 5.442 in group B) were assigned in to two groups. The objective of the study was explained, and the subjects were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre-interventional and post-interventional data analysis was done for FSS, 6MWT, MoCA and KJPS error angle. Group A (Experimental group) received Pilates exercise. Group B (control group) received aerobic and strengthening exercises. Both the groups underwent exercises 3 times a week on alternate days for 6 weeks. Duration of exercise for both groups was 45-60 minutes.

Results: Both the groups showed clinically and statistically significant improvement in FSS  (p<0.0001 in both groups) 6MWT (p<0.0001 in both groups), MoCA (p<0.001 in both groups) and KJPS scores (p<0.0002 in group A and p<0.0001 in group B) at the end of 6 weeks of treatment. There was no significant difference between the groups for FSS (p=0.7226), 6MWT (p=0.813), MoCA (p=0.416) and KJPS (p=0.6213).

Conclusion: A significant improvement were observed in both the groups; which concluded that both the groups are equally effective in improvement of FSS, 6MWT, MoCA and KJPS scores.

Key words: Pilates exercise, elderly population, fatigue, cognition, knee proprioception.
