ABSTRACT

The importance of rehabilitation interventions for functional recovery in individuals with developmental disabilities is growing. Pilates is a versatile exercise modality that can be tailored to address specific functional impairments, positively affecting physical functions (such as muscle strength, joint mobility, and flexibility), postural control, and cognitive performance. This systematic review aims to analyze studies from 2019 to 2024 on the effects of Pilates in individuals with developmental disabilities, with a focus on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial outcomes. The databases for this study (domestic and international) were searched using PubMed, Embase, Research Information Sharing Service, DBpia, and RISS, identifying three randomized controlled trials and one group study. The findings from these studies showed that Pilates significantly improved physical functions, balance, and core stability compared to control groups. Additionally, improvements in postural control were observed, suggesting potential benefits for functional mobility. However, the effects on cognitive function and psychosocial outcomes were less consistent. Further research is needed to explore the broader impacts of Pilates on cognitive and psychosocial aspects in individuals with developmental disabilities, as well as the long-term effects of such interventions.
