Nieprawidlowe dzialanie systemu kontroli postawy (PCS) moze powodowac niekontrolowane upadki, co pogarsza kondycje fizyczna i ogranicza funkcje zyciowe. Wykazano, ze kontrola postawy u osób starszych jest utrudniona. Byc moze wlasciwie prowadzona rehabilitacja jest w stanie spowolnic ten proces.CelDotychczasowe badania pokazaly pozytywny wplyw cwiczen Pilates na elastycznosc tulowia i miednicy oraz równowage dynamiczna. Celem niniejszej pracy bylo porównanie stabilnosci postawy starszych kobiet przed i po 10 tygodniach programu cwiczen metoda Pilates.Material i metodyW badaniach wzielo udzial 35 kobiet w wieku 55-67 lat. Wstepne badanie posturograficzne wykonano przed rozpoczeciem cwiczen. Nastepnie uczestniczki programu przez 10 tygodni wykonywaly cwiczenia metoda Pilates pod opieka wykwalifikowanego fizjoterapeuty. Po zakonczonym programie powtórzono badanie posturograficzne.WynikiAnalizowano pole powierzchni oraz dlugosc rejestrowanych statokinezjogramów. Dokonano takze analizy dyfuzyjnej otrzymanych krzywych. Ponad 60% uczestniczek uzyskalo lepsze rezultaty w po programie cwiczen. Osoby, które w drugim badaniu mialy gorsze wyniki donosily, ze byly w dniu badania przeziebione lub mocno zmeczone. Wnioski Pogorszenie stabilnosci postawy u osób starszych mozna minimalizowac przez intensyfikacje codziennej aktywnosci. Moze jej pomóc wykonywanie cwiczen metoda Pilates. Badania posturograficzne stanowia dobre narzedzie do monitorowania pracy systemu kontroli postawy. Slowa kluczowe: stabilnosc posturalna, system kontroli postawy (PCS), Pilates Abstract IntroductionOne of characteristic of humans is upright standing. Incorrect operation of Postural Control System (PCS) can cause falls. It can lead to deterioration of physical condition and limitations of vital functions. It was shown that operation of PCS deteriorates with age. Perhaps this process can be slowed down using proper rehabilitation.AimIt was reported than Pilates method of exercise (PME) has positive effect on flexibility of trunk and pelvis and dynamic balance. The purpose of this paper is comparison of postural stability in the group and elderly women before and after 10 weeks of Pilates exercises. Materials and methodsA total of 35 women of age 55 to 67 years were investigated. The preliminary posturographic test was performed before exercises. Over the next ten weeks women participated weekly in the Pilates exercises conducted by physiotherapist. At the end of the program the investigation was repeated.ResultsThe sway area and the length of COP trajectory were determined twice. The diffusion analysis of COP trajectory was also performed. In the over 60% of participants the parameters after exercises were better than before program. Some women obtained worse result . However, they reported cold or tiredness in the day of second measurement.ConclusionsThe problem of postural stability deterioration of elderly people can be minimized by a more intense daily physical activity. The PME can help to maintain good work of PCS. The results can be monitored by posturographic tests. Key words: postural stability, PCS, Pilates method of exercise (PME)
