Summary

Studies have shown that Pilates exercises are one of the exercises that can improve breathing capacity, coordination, balance, flexibility, and muscular endurance. Pilates exercises improve walking and balance, reduce back pain and prevent further pain or injury. These are all common problems for people who have undergone lower extremity amputation. The aim of our study is to improve the pelvis-trunk coordination, gait symmetry, and balance on individuals who have undergone amputation and also to increase body awareness.
