We evaluated gross motor function, Trunk Control and Five times sit to stand after 8 weeks.
Results: As a result of Pilates exercise for 8 weeks, there was a significant difference in GMFM-E dimension(p<.05). there was a significant difference in the dynamic sitting balance area of trunk control evaluation(p<.05) and five times sit to stand(p<.05).
