Brief Summary: This study investigates the effects of Pilates reformer exercise combined with cervical sensorimotor training using laser-guided visual feedback on balance performance. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: a combined training group, a Pilates-only group, and a control group. Static and dynamic balance were assessed before and after the intervention.

This study was registered retrospectively on ClinicalTrials.gov after participant enrollment had begun. Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained prior to participant enrollment.
Detailed Description: Postural control is maintained through the integration of sensory information from the visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. Among these systems, cervical proprioception plays a critical role in providing information about head position and movement, which contributes to the regulation of balance and postural stability. Alterations or deficits in cervical proprioceptive input may negatively influence sensorimotor control and balance performance.

Laser-guided visual feedback training has been used to enhance cervical joint position sense and improve sensorimotor control by providing real-time visual information about head and neck movements. This method allows individuals to actively adjust head position based on visual feedback, thereby facilitating proprioceptive retraining.

The reformer exercise method is a form of resistance-based exercise that emphasizes controlled movements, core stabilization, and neuromuscular coordination. Integrating cervical proprioceptive training with reformer exercise may further enhance postural control by promoting coordinated activation of trunk and neck musculature.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a reformer exercise program incorporating cervical proprioceptive training using laser-guided visual feedback on balance ability. Pilates Reformer-based exercises combined with cervical proprioceptive training tasks were proceeded. Balance performance and proprioception were evaluated using static and dynamic balance measures and cervical joint position error before and after the intervention.

The findings of this study may provide evidence regarding the potential benefits of integrating laser-guided visual feedback-based cervical proprioceptive training into exercise programs aimed at improving balance and postural stability.
