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  • protocols and trials with unpublished results have not been included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.
