This pilot study aimed at assessing the feasibility and efficacy of a Mat Pilates program in people with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease (PD). The participants carried out a Mat Pilates program twice a week for 12 weeks. The Senior Fitness Test battery and the 39-item PD Questionnaire were used to assess the effects of the program on the participants' fitness level and quality of life. A total of 16 patients with mild-to-moderate PD volunteered for and finished the study. The Mat Pilates program proved to be feasible. Adherence to the program was excellent, and no adverse effects were observed. The program had a positive effect on the participants' fitness levels, except for shoulder range of motion and dynamic balance, and on their quality of life. Assessments at follow-up indicated a regression in the improvements obtained by the end of the intervention, even though the sample still showed higher levels of fitness and quality of life than those tested at baseline. Mat Pilates is feasible and may be a beneficial rehabilitation strategy to improve fitness and quality of life in people with mild-to-moderate PD. Future randomized controlled trials might determine the extent of such benefits.
这项初步研究旨在评估垫上普拉提课程对轻至中度帕金森病（PD）患者的可行性和疗效。参与者每周进行两次垫上普拉提课程，共持续12周。使用老年人健身测试组套和39项帕金森病问卷来评估该课程对参与者健康水平和生活质量的影响。共有16名轻至中度PD患者自愿参与并完成了该研究。垫上普拉提课程被证明是可行的。对该课程的依从性极佳，且未观察到不良反应。该课程对参与者的健康水平（肩部活动范围和动态平衡除外）及其生活质量产生了积极影响。随访评估表明，尽管样本的健康水平和生活质量仍高于基线测试时的水平，但干预结束时所取得的改善出现了倒退。垫上普拉提是可行的，可能是改善轻至中度PD患者健康水平和生活质量的有益康复策略。未来的随机对照试验可能会确定这种益处的程度。
