The Effect of Online Pilates on Cognitive Function and Dual-Task Performance

Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, degenerative disease of the central nervous system, causing demyelination and axonal damage. MS typically begins with attacks resulting from demyelination of axons, eventually evolving into a neurodegenerative disease associated with neurotrophic support deficiency and neuronal loss. Depending on the location and degeneration, various neurological disorders and symptoms such as walking and balance problems, fatigue, sensory loss, and cognitive impairments are observed in MS patients. Cognitive impairments in MS are associated with lesion count, localization, axonal loss, and brain atrophy, affecting approximately 50-60% of patients. Patients exhibit impairments in verbal fluency, visual-spatial memory, processing speed, executive functions, and episodic memory. Cognitive impairments also lead to a decrease in dual-task performance, referred to as the ability to perform two tasks simultaneously, in MS patients. Cognitive problems and impaired dual-task performance negatively impact various aspects of daily life, including social participation and employment status, thus reducing their quality of life. Clinical-based exercise interventions are frequently utilized and effective in improving cognitive functions and dual-task performance in MS. Pilates is a commonly used exercise modality in clinical practice. Pilates is a core stability-based exercise method involving endurance, flexibility, movement, posture, and respiratory control. Previous studies have indicated that clinical Pilates improves cognitive functions. On the other hand, telerehabilitation approaches, the use of which has increased rapidly due to technological developments in recent times, enable the delivery of rehabilitation services to patients in distant places by using communication technologies. For this purpose, it is highly valuable to implement Pilates, which consists of core stability exercise content, through telerehabilitation. While there are studies on clinical-based Pilates interventions, no study has investigated the efficacy of one-on-one online Pilates exercises on cognitive functions and dual-task performance in an online platform. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of online Pilates on cognitive functions and dual-task performance in patients with MS.
