“…Most studies found in the literature evaluate balance with patients in orthostatism and with feet positioned in parallel [19][20][21][22][23] . Previous studies suggest that simpler stances, such as two-feet position, present low difficulty demand for maintaining balance 24 .…”

“…Untreated balance dysfunction and postural instability and gait difficulty are highly associated with falls in this population which in turn increases the chance of developing comorbidity and disability by causing alterations in postural control strategies during standing tasks and when performing voluntary movements. Balance dysfunction and postural instability are also associated with a loss of equilibrium, sudden falls, progressive loss of independence and immobility [1][2][3][4][5]. Among people with PD, as many as 65% of fallers will experience an injury secondary to their falls, 33% will suffer a fracture and 75% of falls will lead to use of a health care service.…”

Background: Parkinsonism is a progressive disorder of the nervous system for which only symptomatic treatment exists. Balance dysfunction and postural instability observed in persons with Parkinson's disease are important components of the disability. Objectives: To investigate the effect of a selective 8-week Pilates exercises on the functional balance and falling risk in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 30 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease who were selected as subjects non-randomly and purposely, and assigned into exercise groups or control group. Participants in exercise and control groups attended an 8-week Pilate's program or walking program respectively. Functional balance and falling risk was evaluated using Fullerton balance scale (FAB) and timed up and go test (TUG), before and after interventions. In order to analyze the data paired samples T-test and independent samples T-test and SPSS version 22 were used. Results: Attending an eight-week Pilates exercise was associated with a significant improvement in functional balance and falling risk (P = 0.001), while the difference of the functional balance and falling risk, before and after performing the protocol, in control group was not significant (P = 0.364). Also the difference between the results of functional balance and falling risk scale scores of two groups in post-test were significant (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Given that Pilate's exercises involve both musculoskeletal system and nervous system, can be an effective intervention to improving balance and reducing falling risk, especially in people with postural control disabilities.

“…Patients with PD suffer a smaller range of stability and consequently higher postural fluctuations compared to other peers. Postural control disorders are also significantly associated with the risk of falls in these patients [32]. Many studies confirm the effectiveness of regular exercises on improving motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with PD.…”
