Pilates training was carried out as group exercises for about 1 hour, 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
Breathing exercises, active range of motion exercises and relaxation exercises were given to the control group as a home program. They were asked to do the exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
"Core" stability was evaluated with two important dimensions, "core" strength and endurance tests.
M. transversus abdominus (TrA) and m. multifidus (MF) muscles were visualized by ultrasonography and the evaluations were performed by an experienced radiologist who was blind to the case groups.
Lower extremity functional strength was evaluated with the 5-Times Sit-and-Stand Test.
Balance was evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS).
Functional mobility was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG).
Functional exercise capacity was evaluated using the 6 Minute Walking Test (6-MWT).
Activities of daily living and motor impairment were evaluated with activities of daily living (II) and motor impairment (III) sub-dimensions of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).
The Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOGQ) was used to identify and evaluate the subjective perception of Parkinson's patients regarding the severity and effect of freezing on gait performance.
Fatigue, one of the non-motor findings associated with Parkinson's, was evaluated with the Parkinson's Fatigue Scale-16 (PFS-16).
Quality of Life was evaluated with Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39).
