Exercise program included eight-week pilates exercise, three sessions each week and each session takes 4o_60 minutes. T-test was used for statistical analysis (p< 0.05).
FINDINGS: There was a significant increase in the shoulder girdle, abdomen, and paw muscles of exercise group compared to control group after eight weeks (P> 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The results showed that pilates exercise is effective on strength and endurance of MS patients' muscles and these patients can do pilates exercise to preserve and increase their muscles’ performance.
