The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of Pilates training on psychological and social factors related to falls in female elderly. This is a quasi-experimental study. Subjects were invited to participate in the study from a comprehensive rehabilitation center (Shahrekord) in 2011. A Sample of 30 people were selected and randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control groups (n=15). Participants mean age was 70.23 ± 5.9. Inclusion criteria were acquiring a score of at least 18 on the Brief Psychiatric Examination and not having significant orthopedic disabilities or chronic illness. Those who were using vitamins and dietary supplements were excluded from the study. Geriatric Depression Scale and World Health organization’s quality of life questionnaires were used to evaluate the psychological and social factors, respectively. The experimental group received Pilates exercises sessions for 12 weeks (3 sessions per week), each lasting for an hour.
