Summary

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have limitations in postural reactions and antigravity movements. Trunk control is the determinant of posture, balance, walking and functional activities. Core stability connects deep abdominal muscles, spine, pelvis, and shoulder girdle to protect the posture and provides support for extremity movements. Pilates and core stabilization were associated with postural control in elderly, MS and stroke individuals and it was concluded that pilates caused an increase in trunk stabilization. There are not enough studies investigating the effectiveness of pilates exercises in CP. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of modified pilates exercises on body control, gait and functionality in children with CP.
