Résumé : |
Falls in the elderly have important clinical and economic costs and interventions that may reduce the risk of such problems are potentially important. Although evidence exists for a range of exercise interventions, few have looked at a Pilates-based intervention in a supervised community-based setting and none have specifically measured gait parameters as an outcome.
This observational study investigated gait parameters including inter-stride variability (ISV) and postural sway in a group (n=9) of elderly (age range, 6076) subjects attending a weekly Pilates class over eight weeks. The results suggest that significant improvement in walking speed (0.14m/s (95% CI: 0.060.21)), step cycle (0.07m (95% CI: 0.010.14)) and length (0.10m (95% CI: 0.050.15)) and a composite ambulation index (6.5% (95% CI: 1.8511.26)) were seen post the intervention, while coefficients of variation decreased around 15%. In addition both anteriorposterior sway decreased along with a improvement in a fall risk index (FRI). Inter-stride variability on the other hand did not change. The results of this study suggest that a short Pilates program may have the potential to improve gait and sway parameters, including those associated with fall risk. |
