Update from Robyn Rix (26 March 2023):

All links for the categories are now active. I need to add in more recent studies and fill in some of the gaps in the tables, including a link to each study
I am also in the process of adding in how many studies are found under each condition

Notes:

these are preliminary results. Some information is missing & I am working to fill in the gaps as soon as I can
there may also be errors in the material. Once I have checked everything, I will ask if you see any mistakes, to please let me know
recent studies (2020 to 2023) are being added progressively
protocols and trials with unpublished results have not been included
if one study covers multiple conditions, the study is listed under each condition
I am working on the links to each article. Sometimes this will only give access to the abstract, especially if the study is behind a pay wall.
comments are mine and not the opinion of the Pilates Alliance of Australasia

How to search

You can search by category - click on the category title. A new page will open with a table that can be sorted by any field eg year published, authors, etc. You can also search in any field eg by author.
If you only wish to look at one of the conditions, click on the category link. From the condition drop down box, choose the condition you are after.
If there is a green plus sign next to the study, more infomatin is available that would not fit on the first page. Click on the plus sign to show the additional information.
Note that it is sometimes difficult to determine which is the best category for a condition. If you feel a condition would be better included in a different category, please lt me know.
