Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Many pathologies present balance disturbances, however, other types of therapies such as Pilates are increasingly used within the Physiotherapy profession. It is therefore necessary to know the effects that this type of exercise has compared to the traditional method of balance training in order to make good use of this type of therapy.

The objective of the study will be to know if there are differences between both types of training on the balance of the participants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Y Balance Test [0 week]
The Y Balance Test (YBT) has the patient stand on one leg while reaching out in 3 different directions with the other lower extremity. They are anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral. When using the Y-Balance test kit, the 3 reaches yield a "composite reach distance" or composite score used to predict injury. The YBT showed good interrater test-retest reliability with an acceptable level of measurement error among multiple raters screening active duty service members, and a second study shows excellent reliability (ICC = 0.88- 0.99). An increase in the value of the test is indicative of the improvement of dynamic balance.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Emery test [0 week, 5 week]
The single-leg Emery timed balance test was specifically designed to assess the balancing abilities of young people and adolescents. In this work, we conducted the eyes-closed dynamic test. The participants were asked to stand barefooted on an Airex® Balance-Pad with slight knee flexion of the weight-bearing limb and 45° degree flexion of the non-weight-bearing limb, keeping their hands on their hips. The timer was stopped when a participant lost their balance owing to one of the following situations: removal of hand from the hip; opening of the eyes; the non-weight-bearing limb touching the floor, the pad, or the weightbearing limb; or the pad or the foot of the non-weight-bearing limb moving from the initial test position. The longest duration of three attempts was recorded for each leg, allowing 30 s of rest between trials. Balance improves if time is increased on this test.
