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 Outcomes (2)

• Y Balance Test

  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.
