Effect
of Pilates Exercise Therapy on Rehabilitation LDH Patients (RCT)
|
|
60
cases of non-acute LDH patients are randomly divided into the control group(n
= 30) and the test group(n = 30).The control group are treated with
traction,once a day,while the test group are treated with Pilates exercise
therapy in addition to traction,which trains the strength,flexibility and
coordination of abdominal muscle and lumbar back muscle,once per day and six
times a week with the treatment period lasting for 8 weeks.
|
The
results show that after 4 or 8 weeks of treatment,the AROM of anteflexion and
backward extension of lumbar spine are improved(P0.05),and the scoring of the
restriction of the function of RMQ and pain intensity also fall
significantly(P0.05).
|
The
research conclusion shows that Pilates exercise therapy can significantly
improve the AROM of LDH patients' lumbar intervertebral disc,reduce the
limitation of their functions and their pains.It is an economical and
effective way for LDH patients' rehabilitation.

Comparative
effect of mat pilates and egoscue exercises in asymptomatic individuals with
lumbar hyperlordosis: A randomized controlled trial
|
Correcting
lumbar hyperlordosis, a main cause of back pain, will reduce the stress on
the lumbar spine thereby preventing future problems in back and lower limb.
Clinical trials are lacking where mat Pilates, Egoscue exercises and lumbar
stabilization exercises are compared for their effect on spinal
malalignment. Aims: This
study aims to compare the effectiveness of Pilates, Egoscue, and lumbar
stabilization exercises for reducing hyperlordosis angle in asymptomatic
individuals with lumbar hyperlordosis. Settings
and Study Design: A randomized controlled
trial conducted on volunteer participants from Health Science University of
Belagavi. Materials and Methods: Asymptomatic individuals with lumbar hyperlordosis (n = 51) were randomly
allocated to Pilates, Egoscue and Lumbar stabilization groups. Outcomes
assessed were index of lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, and tolerance to
exercise performance which was measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Results: There was significant
reduction in the hyperlordosis score (P < 0.001) in the three study groups when compared for
pre-and post-intervention scores. However, more reduction was seen in the
Pilates and Egoscue groups compared to the lumbar stabilization. Pilates and
Egoscue groups were equally effective in Lumbar lordosis angle (P = 0.68) and pelvic tilt (P = 0.51). Participants of
Pilates group graded the exercises with superior tolerance to performance (P < 0.0006) than Egoscue
and Lumbar stabilization. Conclusion: Pilates group and Egoscue group were equally effective
and superior to lumbar stabilization group in correction of hyperlordosis.
Further, ease of performance of exercise was rated high for Pilates than the
Egoscue exercise. These exercises should be included by the clinicians in
preventive or corrective rehabilitation towards spinal posture malalignments.

Comparison
of the Effect of Pilates and Traditional Corrective Exercises on Lumbar
Lordosis in Female Students
|
The
aim of this study was to compare the effect of Pilates and traditional
corrective exercises on lumbar lordosis.
|
Statistical
population of the present study was nonathletic female students of Farhangian
University in Khoy. Thirty subjects (19-24 years old) with lumbar lordosis
were selected and divided into two experimental (Pilates, traditional
corrective) and control groups. Experimental groups performed related
exercises for 3 weeks, 3 days in a week with duration of 60 min each day.
Flexible ruler, Thomas test, leaning forward, squat test and sit-up test was
used respectively for measuring lordosis degree, flexibility of quadriceps
muscles, flexibility of back muscles, power of hamstring and power of
abdominal muscles before and after six weeks training. To compare pre-test
and post-test of dependent variables, paired t-test was used. One way ANOVA
and Bonferoni test was used to compare three groups.
|
Results
showed that in both experimental groups lumbar lordosis was decreased (in
both groups p=0.001) and flexibility of quadriceps (traditional corrective
group p=0.001; Pilates group p=0.003), flexibility of back muscles (in both
groups p=0.001), power of hamstring (in both groups p=0.001) and power of
abdominal muscles (in both groups p=0.001) was improved. There was no
significant difference between two experimental groups for lumbar lordosis
(p=1.000), flexibility of quadriceps(p=0.856), flexibility of back muscles
(p=0.786), power of hamstring muscles (p=1.000) and power of abdominal
muscles (p=0.579).
|
Therefore
for treating lumbar lordosis both Pilates and traditional corrective
exercises can be used. Both training methods may treat hyperlordosis with
increase in flexibility of back muscles and quadriceps muscles and with
increase in power of hamstring and power of abdominal muscles.

Effects
of exercise programs on kyphosis and lordosis angle: A systematic review and
meta-analysis
|
Many
authors are interested in the effects that a specific exercise program could
have on sagittal spinal curvatures. The purpose of this study was to
determine the effects of different exercise programs on thoracic kyphosis and
lumbar lordotic angle. This meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA guideline and
it was registered at PROSPERO. Five electronic databases (Pub Med, Cochrane,
WOS, PEDro and EBSCO) were searched up to 31 July 2018. Eligible studies were
randomized controlled trials that applied an exercise intervention and
measured a kyphosis and/or lordotic angle. Study quality was performance by
PEDro score. Risk of bias was assessed using the SIGN 50 checklist for
randomized controlled trials. External validity was assessed using the EVAT.
Ten randomized controlled trials were included for systematic review and
meta-analysis. Meta-analysis with a random effect model was performed to
infer the pooled estimated standardized mean difference. All studies were
RCTs and they involved a total of 284 cases and 255 controls. Seven studies
measured kyphosis angle. A large significant effect of the exercise on
kyphosis was identified (SMD = -1.400 (95% CI-2.150 a -0.660), p = 0.000).
Four studies assessed lordotic angle and moderate but not significant improvement
was shown (SMD = -0.530 (95% CI-1.760 a -0.700), p = 0.401). The results
suggest that exercise programs may have a positive effect on thoracic
kyphosis angle, but no clear effect on lordotic angle. This systematic review
suggests that strengthening rather than stretching could be more relevant for
kyphosis and both qualities are important for lordosis. It is necessary to
conduct more randomized controlled trials to assess the effects of
strengthening and/or stretching program on kyphosis and lordotic angle and to
establish the type of the exercise that is better for maintaining the
sagittal disposition within normal ranges.

The
influence of the Pilates method on quality of life and bone remodelling in
older women: a controlled study
|
The
objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Pilates method on
quality of life and bone remodeling markers in a group of older women.
|
A
longitudinal prospective study with intervention was performed on 40 women
aged over 60 years; they were divided into two groups: one submitted to
a 50-min Pilates exercise session once a week for 20 weeks (Pilates),
and the other was not (Control). Both groups were compared for quality of
life using the Medical Outcomes Study 36, and for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and Type 1
collagen C-telopeptide (CTx) bone remodeling markers.
|
The
Pilates group presented improvement in the quality of life evaluation scores:
physical functioning (67.50 ± 18.88 × 86.25 ± 9.58; p = 0.0232), and physical component summary
(65.00 ± 14.39 × 79.70 ± 3.83; p = 0.0220). The Pilates group also presented higher scores than
that of Controls after the exercise program: physical functioning
(86.25 ± 9.58 × 55.50 ± 20.83, p = 0.0003), physical role (100.00 ± 0.00 × 41.25 ± 46.79, p = 0.0009), emotional role
(100.00 ± 0.00 × 48.33 ± 50.12, p = 0.0046), vitality (82.50 ± 14.28 × 60.25 ± 21.43, p = 0.011), physical component
summary (79.70 ± 3.83 × 54.90 ± 15.05, p < 0.0001), and emotional component summary
(74.10 ± 8.37 × 54.18 ± 22.55, p = 0.0111). No changes were noted in bone remodeling markers
[CTx (0.39 ± 0.26 × 0.38 ± 0.22 ng/mL) and BSAP
(10.73 ± 2.40 × 11.01 ± 3.56 μg/L)] and did not differ from the Control
group both before (CTx: 0.39 ± 0.26 × 0.37 ± 0.17 ng/mL; BSAP:
10.73 ± 2.40 × 10.58 ± 3.49 μg/L; p > 0.05) and after exercise (CTx:
0.38 ± 0.22 × 0.38 ± 0.22 ng/mL; BSAP:
11.01 ± 3.56 × 9.85 ± 3.12 μg/L; p > 0.05).
|
The
group of women submitted to Pilates presented improved quality of life but
without changes in bone remodeling.

Sagittal
Spinal Posture After Pilates-Based Exercise in Healthy Older Adults (Longitudinal, repeated-measures study)
|
The
aim of this study was to determine changes in sagittal spinal posture in
older adults during standing and sitting after a Pilates-based exercise
program. Pilates exercise is purported to improve posture, however, few
peer-reviewed articles are available to provide scientific support. Most
previous studies were conducted in young dancers, and the effect of Pilates
exercise on spinal posture in older adults remained unclear. Thirty-four
healthy older adults aged over 60 years volunteered for this study. A
two-dimensional PEAK Motus motion analysis system was used to measure
sagittal spinal angles. Participants were tested on 2 occasions before the
exercise program to establish a baseline measure, and undertook a supervised
Pilates-based exercise program twice weekly for 10 weeks. Participants were
tested on another 2 occasions, immediately after the exercise program, and
after a short-term follow-up. Baseline measures in both standing and sitting
postures remained unchanged except for the lumbar spine angle in sitting.
Immediately after the Pilates-based exercise program, older adults stood with
slightly decreased thoracic flexion and sat with slightly increased lumbar
extension. No significant differences were found during the follow-up period.
The individually designed Pilates-based exercise program was feasible for
healthy older adults, and the high attendance rate supports the suitability
of the exercise program over a long period. Considering the variability of
the baseline measure, small improvement was only observed in the thoracic
kyphosis during standing. The long-term effect of Pilates exercise requires
further investigation.

THE
INFLUENCE OF THE PILATES METHOD ON CHANGES IN POSTURES OF SURF PARTICIPANTS
FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF EXTREME SOUTHERN CATARINIAN SURF (Influência do
Método Pilates nas Alterações Posturais dos Praticantes de Surf da Associação
do Extremo Sul Catarinense de Surf). (Thesis)
|
Currently,
in Brazil, surfing has an expressive number of practitioners, with
approximately 2.7 million surfers. Even with such a relevant number of fans,
the practice of sport is not always linked to a good physical conditioning,
knowledge of the sporting gesture and use of adequate equipment on the part
of the surfers, resulting in the emergence of injuries and consequently
bodily discomfort and possible postural changes or pathologies in which
Physiotherapy establishes an important preventive and therapy. Pilates is a
method of physical exercise programmed to condition and relate the body and
the mind, aims to correct muscle imbalances, improve the posture and toning
the body through basic body control principles: breathing and relaxation,
concentration, precision, fluidity, centralization and control and implicit
factors of balance, resistance, strengthening, flexibility, coordination and
rhythm. The present study had as main objective to analyze the influence of
the Pilates method for surfers' postural changes.
|
The
research participation of 3 (three) surfers, aged between 20 (twenty) and 30
(thirty) years, from the Association of the Extreme South Santa Catarina Surf
- AESCAS. The data were collected through a Postural Assessment and
application of a questionnaire on Surfing Aspects and Daily Life Activities.
After the application of the Pilates protocol, a reassessment was carried out
where they performed 10 (ten) sessions, lasting approximately 60 (sixty)
minutes each. The protocol consisted of 21 (twenty-one) basic exercises,
intermediate and advanced, developed on the ground, with the aid of ball and
specific equipment of the method.
|
Through
the observation and analysis of the data, it was found that after application
of the protocol the 3 (three) surfers members of the sample presented
improved posture, increased muscle strength, increased length muscle and
improves the ability to practice surfing, due to the benefits that the Method
provides.

Does
Pilates-Based Exercise Improve Postural Alignment in Adult Women? Women &
Health (Randomized Controlled Trial)
|
A
randomized, controlled trial was conducted to determine the effect of
Pilates-based exercise on postural alignment. Seventy-four adult women (mean
age ± SD, 34.9 ± 16.4 years) were randomized to a Pilates-based mat class (n
= 40) or a control group (n = 34). Pilates-based exercise participants were
taught the Initial Mat of Body Control Pilates for 6 months, twice a week,
for 60 minutes per session; the control group received no exercise
intervention. Repeated measurements were performed at baseline, 3 months, and
6 months of the frontal alignment of the thoracolumbar spine, shoulder, and
pelvis, and sagittal alignment of the head and pelvis. No differences were
found in either group, over time, on frontal alignment of the thoracolumbar
spine and pelvis. The experimental group showed significant improvements in
frontal alignment of the shoulder and sagittal alignment of the head and
pelvis at 6 months. The Pilates-based exercise enhanced some parameters of
the postural alignment of women, as measured by frontal alignment of the
shoulder and sagittal alignment of the head and pelvis. The significant
improvement in sagittal alignment of the head may imply that 6 months of
Pilates-based exercise enhances sagittal alignment of the cervical or
thoracic spine.

Effects
of 20 sessions of Pilates method on postural alignment and flexibility of
young women: pilot study (RCT)
|
The
aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Pilates method on the
postural alignment and joint flexibility in healthy young females.
Thirty-three women aged between 18 and 30 years (56.8±8.5 kg, 1.60±0.06 m,
and 22.1±2.7 kg/m2 ) having no prior knowledge of Pilates participated in
this study.
|
They
were randomly allocated into two groups: control group (without intervention)
and Pilates group (PG; mat Pilates, 20 sessions, twice a week). Pre and
post-program evaluation procedures were performed by a blinded investigator
and were characterized by photogrammetric postural analysis (Postural
Assessment Software) and assessment of joint flexibility (Wells sit and reach
test). A 2×2 Analysis of Variance was used for repeated measures in order to
verify differences between pre- and post-measurements for both control group
and PG.
|
No
significant differences were found between the groups, for all variables. The
PG presented no differences in postural alignment after the program
(p>0.05). However, the PG demonstrated a significant increase of 19.1% in
flexibility (p=0.036).
|
This
study showed that a program of mat Pilates produces significant effects on
joint flexibility. However, 20 sessions were not sufficient to cause static
postural adaptations in healthy young women.

Effect
of mat pilates exercise on postural alignment and body composition of
middle-aged women (non RCT?)
|
[Purpose]
This study attempted to examine whether Pilates is an effective exercise for
improving the postural alignment and health of middle-aged women. [Subjects
and Methods] The participants in this study were 36 middle-aged women (20 in
the experimental group, 16 in the control group). The experimental group
participated in Pilates exercise sessions three times a week for 12 weeks.
Body alignment and composition measurements before and after applying the
Pilates exercise program were performed with a body composition analyzer and
a three-dimensional scanner. [Results] Postural alignment in the sagittal and
horizontal planes was enhanced in the Pilates exercise group. Trunk alignment
showed correlations with body fat and muscle mass. [Conclusion] The Pilates
exercises are performed symmetrically and strengthen the deep muscles.
Moreover, the results showed that muscle mass was correlated with trunk
postural alignment and that the proper amount of muscle is critical in
maintaining trunk postural alignment.

Clinical
effectiveness of a Pilates treatment for forward head posture
|
This
study compared the effects of pilates and an exercise program on the
craniovertebral angle, cervical range of motion, pain, and muscle fatigue in
subjects with a forward head posture (FHP).
|
A
total of 28 sedentary females (age 20 to 39 years) with FHP were randomly
assigned to pilates (n=14) and combined (n=14) exercise groups. The study was
a randomized, controlled, double-blind study with the two groups performing
exercise 50 min/day, 3 days/week, with an intensity of 11-15 rating of
perceived exertion (RPE) for ten weeks. The main outcome measures were
craniovertebral angle, cervical range of motion (ROM), pain levels assessed
by visual analog scale (VAS), and neck disability index (NDI). Surface
electromyography was also used to measure muscle fatigue.
|
There
were significant increases in craniovertebral angle and cervical ROM in the
pilates group, but none in the control group. The only significant
differences in muscle activity were recorded in the sternocleidomastoid
muscle in the pilates group. Both exercise programs had positive effects on
pain measures, as VAS and NDI were significantly decreased.
|
The
results suggest that pilates could be recommended as an appropriate exercise
for treatment of FHP in sedentary individuals.

Does
Pilates Exercise Versus No Pilates Exercise Improve Posture in Healthy
Adults? A Systematic Review
|
To
evaluate the effectiveness of Pilates exercise in improving posture in
healthy adults via a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.
|
Descriptions
of the study population, intervention, comparison, and outcome measures were
tabulated for six included studies. The methodological quality of studies was
poor, indicated by quality scores ranging from 2-8 out of 14. Study findings
were summarised as between group mean differences and 95% confidence
intervals.
|
A
qualitative synthesis of data revealed Pilates exercise produced a
statistically significant reduction in forward head posture at 6
months in one randomised controlled trial with a low risk of bias. Other
studies reported no statistically or clinically significant improvements.
|
Pilates
exercise may improve forward head posture in healthy adults. Future
randomised controlled trials need to be of high quality, adequately powered,
and utilise valid and reliable measures of posture as well as ensure assessor
blinding.

Examining
the postural awareness and flexibility changes in physical therapy students
who took clinical Pilates class
|
This
study aimed to evaluate postural awareness and changes in posture and
flexibility of students who took Clinical Pilates class as an elective course
at the undergraduate level.
|
The
study conducted from 2013-2016 included 98 students who took Clinical Pilates
class at the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, School of
Health Sciences, Istanbul Medipol University, Turkey. The flexibility levels
of the study participants were measured before and after the Clinical Pilates
education using finger-to-floor test and modified Schober’s test.
Observational posture analysis and postural awareness were recorded using the
scale prepared by the researchers.
|
The
post-education evaluations showed that postural distortions were fixed, and a
significant increase in the postural awareness of the students was observed
compared with the pre-education period. The results of both modified
Schober’s test and finger-to-floor test, which were used to measure the
flexibility levels, showed a statistically significant increase in
post-education scores compared with those of the pre-education period.
|
This
study showed that the Clinical Pilates course increased postural awareness
and flexibility of physical therapy students and fixed
postural distortions. Thus, the inclusion of
Clinical Pilates class in the undergraduate education is considered to be
important.

Pilates
method in the community: effect on the body posture of elderly women
(Portuguese) (non random control trial)
|
This
study aimed to verify the effect of the Pilates method (PM) on the body
posture of elderly women in a community.
|
A
non-randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 40 elderly women
aged between 60 and 80 years, divided equally into Intervention Group (IG)
and Control Group (CG). The groups answered a sociodemographic questionnaire
and were evaluated, in pre- and post-intervention moments, using
biophotogrammetry, through the software SAPO. The IG performed a program of
12 Pilates exercises, twice a week, with duration of 50 minutes, for 12
weeks. A nonparametric statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney
test with significance value of p<0.05.
|
The
results showed before the intervention the distance between the acromions,
epicondyles and styloid process were lower in the CG, in relation to the IG;
however, after the intervention, no significant difference was observed
between the groups. After the intervention, a statistically significant
difference was observed in the variables: distance from the superior (p=0.01)
and inferior angle of scapula (p=0.02) of the IG in relation to the CG.
|
The
conclusion was that Pilates promoted a positive effect on some variables of
the postural profile of the elderly women, being suitable for community
groups for practice of physical activities.

Comparação
eletromiográfica entre posturas do método pilates executadas em diferentes
ambientes: Electromyographic comparison between pilates method postures
executed in different environments
|
O
método Pilates é um programa de exercícios de fortalecimento e alongamento
muscular que compõem um sistema de movimentos que melhoram a postura, o tônus
muscular, a flexibilidade e o equilíbrio. A análise eletromiográfica dos
músculos envolvidos na execução de algumas dessas posturas pode evidenciar
como o sistema muscular se comporta durante essa atividade quando realizada
em diferentes ambientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar por meio da
eletromiografia de superfície (EMGS) a ativação muscular do paravertebral
lombar e do tríceps braquial durante as posturas do Pilates® em ambiente
terrestre e aquático e comparar os valores RMS obtidos entre esses ambientes.
Para tanto, foram selecionados aleatoriamente 30 estudantes universitários
voluntários de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 20 e 40 anos (média 22.36 ±
1.95) e quantificada a atividade elétrica dos dois músculos supracitados por
meio da EMGS durante a execução em solo e em água das seguintes posturas: Leg
Pull Back (LPB), Leg Pull Back Variação (LPBV), Leg Pull Front (LPF) e Leg
Pull Front Variação (LPFV). Para toda a amostra, foi visto que no Canal F
existiu diferença significativa entre os dois ambientes para as posturas LPB,
LPBV e LPFV. Em todas as posturas, as executadas em solo obtiveram valores
RMS maiores do que em água. Concluiu-se, portanto que houve diferença
significante entre a ativação muscular nos dois ambientes, onde foi
predominante o maior valor RMS nos exercícios terrestres em todas as posturas
realizadas.

Chiropractic
and Pilates therapy for the treatment of adult scoliosis
|
Objective:
To describe the use of Pilates therapy and sacro-occipital technique in the
management of a 39-year-old woman with scoliosis who had undergone spinal
fusion many years earlier. Clinical features: The patient had progressive
severe low back pain that had worsened over the years after her surgery and
had prevented her from activities such as carrying her son or equipment
necessary for her job as a photographer.
|
The
patient was provided a series of Pilates exercises used to overcome her
chronic habituation and muscle weakness. Conclusion: The addition of Pilates
therapy can be useful to care for patients with chronic low back pain and
deconditioning.
|
Although
this therapy went on for some time, she did begin to stabilize and increase
physical activity.
|
At
present, she is no longer limited in her physical activity, although she
still exhibits some symptoms from her scoliosis.

0.019) showed significant differences between the groups, with best values in
the Pilates group. The dependent t test detected a significant decrease in
the Cobb angle (Δ% = 38%, t = 6.115, p = 0.0001), a significant increase in
trunk flexion (Δ% = 80%, t = -7.977, p = 0.0001) and a significant reduction
in pain (Δ% = 60%, t = 7.102, p = 0.0001) in the EG. No significant
difference in Cobb angle (t = 0.430, p = 0.676), trunk flexion, (t = 0.938p =
0.371) or pain (t = 0.896, p = 0.391) was found for the CG.

To
critically analyze the benefits of Pilates on health outcomes in women. DATA
SOURCES: CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, Science Direct, SPORTDiscus, Physiotherapy
Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,
and Web of Science.
|
Databases
were searched using the terms Pilates and Pilates method. Published
randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included if they comprised female
participants with a health condition and a health outcome was measured,
Pilates needed to be administered, and the article was published in English
in a peer-reviewed journal from 1980 to July 2014. DATA EXTRACTION: Two
authors independently applied the inclusion criteria to potential studies.
Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. A best-evidence
grading system was used to determine the strength of the evidence.
|
Thirteen
studies met the inclusion criteria. PEDro scale values ranged from 3 to 7
(mean 4.5; median 4.0), indicating a relatively low quality overall. The most
frequent health outcomes investigated were pain (n = 4), quality of life (n =
4), and lower extremity endurance (n = 2), with mixed results. Emerging
evidence was found for reducing pain and improving quality of life and lower
extremity endurance. With the application of BES, strong evidence was found
for Pilates in improving health outcomes for pain for scoliosis. Reduction in
pain was demonstrated in 1 high-quality RCT investigating nonstructural scoliosis. Limited evidence was found for improving range of motion in trunk flexion.
|
There
is a paucity of evidence on Pilates for improving women's health during
pregnancy or for conditions including breast cancer, obesity, or low back
pain. Further high-quality RCTs are warranted to determine the effectiveness
of Pilates for improving women's health outcomes.

Effects
of Schroth and Pilates exercises on the Cobb angle and weight distribution of
patients with scoliosis
|
The
purpose of this study was to compare the effect of Schroth and Pilates
exercises on the Cobb angle and body weight distribution of patients with
idiopathic scoliosis. [Subjects] Twenty-four scoliosis patients with a Cobb
angle of ≥20° were divided into the Schroth exercise group (SEG, n = 12) and
the Pilates exercise group (PEG, n = 12). [Methods] The SEG and PEG performed
Schroth and Pilates exercises, respectively, three times a week for 12 weeks.
The Cobb angle was measured in the standing position with a radiography
apparatus, and weight load was measured with Gait View Pro 1.0. [Results] In
the intragroup comparison, both groups showed significant changes in the Cobb
angle. For weight distribution, the SEG showed significant differences in the
total weight between the concave and convex sides, but the PEG did not show
significant differences. Furthermore, in the intragroup comparison, the SEG
showed significant differences in the changes in the Cobb angle and weight
distribution compared with the PEG. [Conclusion] Both Schroth and Pilates
exercises were effective in changing the Cobb angle and weight distribution
of scoliosis patients; however, the intergroup comparison showed that the
Schroth exercise was more effective than the Pilates exercise.

The
Effect of Schroth Exercises on Cobb Angle, Quality of Life, and Functional
Capacity in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Systematic Review of
Randomised Controlled Trials
|
Background:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of spinal curve
severity affecting individuals 10 to 18 years of age. Surgery is generally
reserved for curves measuring >50°, whereas bracing and scoliosis-specific
exercises are recommended for Cobb angles ranging from 10° to 45° in order to
prevent curve progression. As the utility of Schroth exercises has emerged as
a popular option among practising clinicians, the purpose of this systematic
review is to determine the effect of Schroth exercises on Cobb angle
progression, quality of life (QOL) and functional capacity in individuals
with AIS. Methods: Three databases, MEDLINE, PEDro, and CINAHL were
systematically searched for English-language randomised controlled trials investigating
the effect of Schroth exercises on individuals with AIS with Cobb angles ≥
10°. The outcomes of interest were the effect of Schroth exercises on Cobb
angle, QOL and functional capacity when compared to standard nonoperative
care. Results: Five RCTs were appraised. Two studies showed no meaningful
change in Cobb angle that may be accounted for outside of measurement error
alone. One study showed some change beyond measurement error, but there was
no follow-up beyond 12 weeks, and another showed some change at 26 weeks that
may be attributable to the intervention (p=0.001). Only one study found
significant improvements in QOL at 10 weeks (p<0.001). Of the two studies
assessing functional ability, one study found no significant difference at 6
months follow-up (p=0.89), whereas the other study found significant
improvement in 6MWT at 6 months (p=0.001). Conclusion: Insufficient evidence
exists to suggest that engaging in Schroth exercises results in halting curve
progression or regression of Cobb angle in AIS patients in the long-term.
Improvement in quality of life and functional capacity may be realized in the
short-term, though maintenance of such effects remains to be elucidated.
Future studies with larger sample sizes and longer intervention and follow-up
periods are necessary to determine the long-term effect of Schroth exercises
on Cobb angle, QOL and functional capacity in individuals with AIS.

Pilates
for Better Sex: Changes in Sexual Functioning in Healthy Turkish Women After
Pilates Exercise (Pilot study)
|
Although
a large number of studies report the impact of daily exercise on many aspects
of women's health, none of them address the relationship between Pilates
exercise and sexual function prospectively. The aim of this study was to
assess the effect of Pilates exercise on sexual function in healthy young
women using a validated questionnaire.
|
In
total, 34 premenopausal healthy Turkish women aged between 20 and 50 years
who had regular menstrual cycles and sexual relationships were included in
the study. Women were asked to complete Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and
Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaires. Questionnaires were
completed before and after 12 weeks of Pilates exercise. Primary endpoints
were changes in total and individual domain scores on the FSFI and BDI.
|
After
the 12-week Pilates intervention, BDI scores were decreased and all domains
of the FSFI were significantly improved with mean ± SD total FSFI scores
increasing from 25.9 ± 7.4 to 32.2 ± 3.6 (p <.0001).
|
This
is the first prospective study that quantifies the improvement in sexual
function of healthy women after a 12-week Pilates program. Our findings
suggest that Pilates may improve sexual function in healthy women. However,
further studies with a larger sample size are needed in this field.

Effect
of Pilates training on people with ankylosing spondylitis (RCT)
|
The
objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Pilates on pain,
functional status, and quality of life in patients with ankylosing
spondylitis. (RCT)
|
The
study was performed as a randomized, prospective, controlled, and
single-blind trial. Fifty-five participants (30 men, 25 women) who were under
a regular follow-up protocol in our Rheumatology Clinic with the diagnosis of
AS according to the modified New York criteria were included in the study.
The participants were randomly assigned into two groups: in group I, Pilates
exercise program of 1 h was given by a certified trainer to 30 participants 3
times a week for 12 weeks, and in group II, designed as the control group, 25
participants continued previous standard treatment programs. In groups,
pre-(week 0) and post treatment (week 12 and week 24) evaluation was
performed by one of the authors who was blind to the group allocation.
Primary outcome measure was functional capacity. Evaluation was done using
the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). Exploratory outcome
measures were Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI),
Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Chest expansion, and
ankylosing spondylitis quality of life (ASQOL) questionnaire
|
In
group I (Pilates), BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index)
showed significant improvement at week 12 (P = 0.031) and week 24 (P =
0.007). In group II (non-Pilates), this parameter was not found to have
significantly changed at week 12 and week 24. Comparison of the groups showed
significantly superior results for group I at week 24 (P = 0.023).
|
We
suggest Pilates exercises as an effective and safe method to improve physical
capacity in AS patients. Our study is the first clinical study designed to
investigate the role of Pilates method in AS treatment. We believe that
further research with more participants and longer follow-up periods could
help assess the therapeutic value of this popular physical exercise method in
AS.

The
Pilates method in ankylosing spondylitis (RCT)
|
The
study aims to assess and compare the efficiency of two different kinetic
programs, in order to improve the treatment of patients with ankylosing
spondylitis (AS).
|
Our
study included two samples (control and cases) of 30 patients admitted for AS
in the Clinic of Rheumatology and Medical Rehabilitation Iasi, in 2011.
Certain parameters such as: age, body mass index, disease evolution, Schober
test, index-ground test, inspiratory-expiratory index, BASDAI activity index,
BASFI functional index, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), pain, morning
stiffness, inflammatory tests, and general state of health were assessed for
every patient.
|
The
quality of life index calculated using the health assessment questionnaire
(HAQ) was clearly improved in the Pilates group, setting a context with
statistical signifi cance, thereby certifying the favorable effect of
introducing the method in the kinetic treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.
The Pilates method used in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with AS
could have a favorable effect on indices regarding mobility, as well as
patients perception about their disease.
|
Patients
in the early stages of the disease have a favorable response to the Pilates
method, which seems to have a positive effect on the quality of life, even
after a relatively short duration of treatment. While the method is easy to
learn and adaptable to individual variations, it can be easily implemented in
the rehabilitation treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. It remains to
evaluate a long-term effect of the method and application to patients in
advanced stages of disease The results are promising and allow expansion to a
more extensive study. However, given that the obtained results align with the
few similar studies from the literature, we think that it is safe to say that
the Pilates method should be considered as a complementary, if not main
kinetic therapy method, due to its complexity and its possibility to adapt to
each particular patient. It helps the patient to be in touch with his
disease, to understand and accept it and to cope better with the chronic pain

Exercise
is considered a fundamental tool for the management of ankylosing spondylitis
(AS), in combination with pharmacological therapy that with the advent of
biological therapy has improved dramatically the control of signs and
symptoms of this challenging disease. Current evidence shows that a specific
exercise protocol has not been validated yet. The purpose of this review is
to update the most recent evidence (July 2010-November 2013) about
physiotherapy in AS, analyzing the possible role and synergistic interactions
between exercise and biological drugs.

From
117 studies initially considered, only 15 were included in the review.

The
results support a multimodal approach, including educational sessions,
conducted in a group setting, supervised by a physiotherapist and followed by

Effects
of Pilates, McKenzie and Heckscher training on disease activity, spinal
motility and pulmonary function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a
randomized controlled trial
|
The
optimal management of ankylosis spondylitis (AS) involves a combination of
nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment aiming to maximize
health-related quality of life. The primary objective of our study was to
demonstrate the benefits of an original multimodal exercise program combining
Pilates, McKenzie and Heckscher techniques on pulmonary function in patients
with AS, while secondary objectives were to demonstrate the benefits of the
same program on function and disease activity.
|
This
is a randomized controlled study on ninety-six consecutive patients with AS
(axial disease subset), assigned on a 1:1 rationale into two groups based on
their participation in the Pilates, McKenzie and Heckscher (group I) or in
the classical kinetic program (group
II). The exercise program consisted of 50-min sessions performed 3
times weekly for 48 weeks. Standard assessments were done at week 0 and 48
and included pain, modified Schober test (mST) and finger-floor distance
(FFD), chest expansion (CE) and vital capacity (VC), as well as disease
activity Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI),
functional Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and metrology
index Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI).
|
Groups
were comparable at baseline; we demonstrated significant improvement between
baseline and after 48 weeks of regular kinetic training for all AS-related
parameters in both groups. However, significant improvement was found in
pain, lumbar spine motility (mST, FFD), BASFI, BASDAI and BASMI in AS
performing the specific multimodal exercise program at the end of study (p =
0.001). Although there were significant improvements in CE in both groups as
compared to baseline (group I, p = 0.001; group II, p = 0.002), this
parameter increased significantly only in group I (p = 0.001). VC
measurements were not significantly changed at the end of the study (group I,
p = 0.127; group II, p = 0.997), but we found significant differences within
groups (p = 0.011).
|
A
multimodal training combining Pilates, McKenzie and Heckscher exercises
performed regularly should be included in the routine management of patients
with AS for better control of function, disease activity and pulmonary
function.

Comparison
between specific exercises and physical therapy for managing patients with
ankylosing spondylitis: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
|
Engaging
in specific exercises and physical therapy are two strategies for managing
ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
|
In
this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the
differences between the outcomes of these strategies. Data from January 2005
to July 2014 was retrieved from the Medline, PubMed, AMED, Embase, and CINAHL
databases. Randomized controlled trials were conducted, and the outcomes of
these interventions were compared using a meta-analysis. The outcome
assessments were classified into the domains of impairment, activity
limitations, and participation restrictions for AS according to the
International Classification of Functioning model. Eight articles were
included in the analysis, and four specific exercises, namely Pilates,
aerobic and aquatic exercises, and the Global Postural Reeducation method,
were compared with physical therapy.
|
The
meta-analysis results revealed that some outcomes of chest expansion and
pulmonary function favored the specific exercises. The outcomes of the Bath
Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease
Activity Index, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index were favored
physical therapy. Both interventions exhibited low to moderate effects on
impairment, activity limitations, and participation restriction among the
patients with AS.
|
Different
outcomes for specific exercises and physical therapy were found; a
combination of both interventions is suggested as a clinical program for
patients with AS.

Exercise
for ankylosing spondylitis: An evidence-based consensus
statement. (Delphi)
|
Despite
Level 1b evidence and international consensus that exercise is beneficial
in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), there is a paucity of detailed
information to guide exercise prescription, including the type and dosage of
exercise required for the most benefit. This collaborative project, combining
evidence with clinical expertise, was established to develop practical
recommendations to guide sustainable exercise prescription for individuals
with AS.
|
Using
a modified Delphi technique, 10 clinical questions were generated and a
systematic literature review was conducted for each. Draft recommendations
were developed at a 2-day meeting, based on the integration of evidence
summaries and expert opinion. Feedback was obtained from patient and health
professional groups prior to finalisation.
|
Stretching,
strengthening, cardiopulmonary and functional fitness are important
components to include in a balanced exercise programme (EBR grade A): There
is preliminary evidence for (modified) Pilates
|
The
recommendations provide an up-to-date, evidence-based approach to the full
range of issues related to the use of exercise in AS, as well as identifying
evidence gaps for further research. Most importantly, this includes
investigation of aspects of exercise programme design required to produce the
largest effect, long-term adherence with exercise programs and the specific
exercise requirements of sub-groups of people with AS. Widespread
dissemination and implementation of the guidelines will be required to
optimise exercise outcomes.

Pilates-based
physiotherapy for ankylosing spondylitis patients [Spanish](RCT)
|
The
Pilates method is considered one of the most popular exercise programmes in
clinical practice. This study aimed to assess the impact of the Pilates
method in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
|
A
clinical trial was conducted at the Central University Hospital of Asturias
(HUCA) in 49 patients with AS, randomly selected and divided into two groups.
The intervention group (IG, n = 26) participated in a Pilates method protocol
of 90-min sessions on alternate days for 5 weeks under the supervision of a
physiotherapist. At the end of the 5-week period, the IG continued to perform
the exercises at home for 3 months. A control group (CG, n = 23) performed
conventional exercises at home during the same period. The following
variables were analysed: Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis index (BASMI), Bath
Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and Bath Ankylosing
Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI).
|
BASMI
scores significantly increased in the CG (P< .05) and decreased in the
short- and medium-term in the IG (P= .038,P= .020). At the end of the study,
significant differences were found in the BASFI index between the CG and the
IG (P= .028). The BASDAI showed no differences between the CG and the IG
(P> .05), but significant intragroup differences were found in the IG
before and after the Pilates intervention (P= .002), while no intragroup
differences were found in the CG (P= .113).

To
evaluate the impact of physiotherapy, based on the Pilates Method, on the
lung function of patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
|
A
randomised clinical trial (RCT) was performed with 49 patients diagnosed with
AS according to the modified New York criteria. Two groups were randomly
established. Therapeutic Pilates-based exercise was performed by 26 patients
for 17 weeks, in 90 minute sessions on alternative days, supervised by a
physiotherapist. The control group (23 patients) used a conventional exercise
program at home. The variables analysed were: rib cage expansion, forced
vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV1), and the FEV1/FVC
ratio.
|
No
significant differences were found in the values of rib cage expansion
between control and experimental groups (P=.686), while there were
differences before and after intervention in the experimental group (P=.780).
The values of spirometry were similar in both control and experimental
groups. No-significant increase in FVC was observed in the experimental group
(P=.122).
|
The
impact of Pilates-based exercises on spirometry values and rib cage expansion
is limited, although there was a tendency to improve FVC
after Pilates exercises. These types of exercise
protocols should be considered, for their clinical application, in specific
respiratory physiotherapy.

Is
Pilates an effective rehabilitation tool? A systematic
review.
|
Pilates
is a system of exercise focusing upon controlled movement, stretching and
breathing. Pilates is popular today not only for physical fitness but also
for rehabilitation programs. This paper is a review of the literature on the
effectiveness of Pilates as a rehabilitation tool in a wide range of
conditions in an adult population.
|
A
systematic literature review was carried out according to the PRISMA
guidelines. Electronic databases were searched for cohort studies or
randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and inclusion and exclusion criteria
were applied. The final RCTs were assessed using the PEDro and CONSORT 2010
checklists.
|
Altan
et al. (2012) compared Pilates to a control group who continued
with normal routine. The study found that Pilates resulted in significant
improvement in the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index) at
week 12 (P = 0.031) and week 24 (P = 0.007) compared to
the control. Roşu et al. (2014)) combined three programmes:
Pilates, McKenzie and Heckscher which showed significant improvement
(P = 0.001) in all outcome measures for both groups. (NB Results in
bold specific to condition))
|
The
majority of the clinical trials in the last five years into the use of
Pilates as a rehabilitation tool have found it to be effective in achieving
desired outcomes, particularly in the area of reducing pain and disability.
It indicates the need for further research in these many areas, and
especially into the benefits of particular Pilates exercises in the
rehabilitation of specific conditions.

|
|
|
|
To
compare the effects of aerobic training versus aerobic training combined with
clinical Pilates exercises (CPE) on the functional and psychosocial status of
patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Twenty-eight patients with
ankylosing spondylitis (AS) were randomized into 2 groups. Group 1
(n = 14) performed both aerobic training and CPE, whereas group 2
(n = 14) performed aerobic training alone. Functional status of the
patients was assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Mobility Index (BASMI), Bath
Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing
Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), back scratch test (BST), single leg
stance test, functional reach test, a dynamometer, chair sit and stand test,
and 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and the psychosocial status of the patients
was assessed using the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL)
questionnaire, the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF), Pittsburgh
Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), and
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK). Both training programs were conducted for
8 weeks, and then, the assessments were repeated. A statistically
significant improvement was observed in the BASMI (p = .001), BASDAI (p = .001), BASFI (p = .002), BST (right, p = .05; left, p = .025), functional reach test (p = .013), back muscle

stand test (p = .022),
6MWT (p = .04),
and ASQoL (p = .04)
scores in group 2. CPE in addition to aerobic training was more effective in
improving the functional and psychosocial status of the patients with AS.

Effectiveness
of Exercise Programs in Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
|
To
assess the effectiveness of exercise programs on disease activity and
function in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by a systematic review and
meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
|
DATA
SOURCES: Medline via PubMed and Cochrane Library. STUDY SELECTION: Reports of
RCTs examining the effectiveness of exercise programs for AS published up to
May 2017. DATA EXTRACTION: Outcomes were evolution of the Bath Ankylosing
Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis
Functional Index (BASFI) after the completion of exercise programs.
Modalities of exercise were compared and the use of biologic therapy was
reported. DATA SYNTHESIS: After screening 190 abstracts, we selected 26
reports for detailed evaluation and finally investigated 8 trials that
assessed a home-based exercise program (2/8), swimming (1/8), Pilates
training (1/8) or supervised exercises (4/8), for 331 AS patients.
|
All
trials except one showed a decrease in BASDAI and BASFI, with exercise. The
weighted mean difference (95% confidence interval) was -0.90 (-1.52 to -0.27)
(I2 = 69%, p = 0.005) for the BASDAI and -0.72 (-1.03 to -0.40) (I2 = 0%, p
< 0.00001) for the BASFI in favor of exercise programs.
|
Despite
the small number of patients and the heterogeneity of exercise programs in
the RCTs included in this meta-analysis, its results support the potential of
exercise programs to improve disease activity and body function in AS.

One
Year of Pilates Training for Ankylosing Spondylitis: A
Pilot Study.
|
This
prospective long-term study examines the effects of a Pilates training
intervention on spinal mobility, disease activity, and functional capacity in
patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
|
The
study design was quasi experimental and single blind. 11 subjects were
recruited among patients undergoing followup of AS diagnosed according to
modified New York criteria at the rheumatology clinic. Over a 12-month
period, 11 patients completed a training program consisting of two sessions
per week of selected Pilates exercises. There was no control group.
|
The
primary outcome variable was functional capacity measured using the Bath
Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) questionnaire. Exploratory
outcome measures were Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index
(BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), and chest
expansion and fingertip-to-floor (FTF) test. Baseline and follow-up
examinations were performed immediately before the intervention and during
the course of treatment at 4, 8, and 12 months. After the exercise
intervention, improvements were observed in BASFI (77.51%), BASDAI (64.39%)
and BASMI (58.95%) scores, FTF distance (71.92%), and chest expansion
(88.74%).
|
These
findings suggest that Pilates training could be useful in AS patients and
provide direction for larger controlled trials designed to determine the
therapeutic benefits of Pilates in the management of these patients.

Effects
of exercise programmes on pain, disease activity and function in ankylosing
spondylitis: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
|
Background
To evaluate the effects of exercise programmes on pain, function and disease
activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Materials and methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang from inception to February 2020.
Randomized controlled trials comparing exercises with nonexercise
interventions in AS patients were applied. Studies that assessed the visual
analogue scale (VAS) pain score, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease
Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index
(BASFI), C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
were included. Outcomes of home-based exercise intervention were also
reported independently. Results Ten studies met the inclusion criteria in
all, including 534 patients (278 exercise, 256 control). Compared with the
nonexercise group, exercise group had statistically significant improvements
in pain (weighted mean difference [WMD]: −1.02 [95% CI: −1.50 to −0.55]) (I2:
31%, P <.0001), BASDAI (WMD: −0.85 [95% CI: −1.09 to −0.61]) (I2: 20%, P
<.00001), and BASFI (WMD: −0.66 [95% CI: −0.95 to −0.38]) (I2: 0%, P
<.00001), but not in CRP and ESR. What's more, home-based exercise
programmes had positive impacts on BASFI, BASDAI and pain. Conclusions For
patients with AS, exercise programmes improve pain, function and disease
activity. To confirm the results, more well-designed randomized controlled
trials with large number of patients are required.

Physical
activity and attitudes and perceptions towards physical activity in patients
with spondyloarthritis: A systematic review
|
Objective
To review systematically and synthesize qualitatively the literature about
physical activity and perceptions and attitudes towards physical
activity/exercise among patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods
PubMed, CINAHL and Scopus and reference lists were searched for quantitative
and qualitative studies reporting on beliefs towards exercise in patients
with SpA. Searches were limited to studies published from January 2000
through December 2018. The PRISMA guidelines were followed. Systematic
searches identified 128 publications which underwent a title, abstract, or
full-text review. Studies were excluded if articles were not in English or
did not include original data. We summarized the methodologic quality using
modified criteria for quantitative and qualitative studies. Results Eight
quantitative and three qualitative studies met eligibility criteria, with
variable study quality. Based on self-reported data, 50% to 68% of patients
with SpA met physical activity recommendations with walking, swimming/pool
exercise, and cycling the most common forms reported. Intrinsic factors such
as motivation and improvement in symptoms and health were commonly reported
as facilitators associated with physical activity/exercise. Barriers included
lack of time, fatigue, and symptoms such as pain. Conclusion One third to one
half of patients with SpA do not meet physical activity recommendations.
Given the potential for regular physical activity to reduce symptom burden in
this patient population and the recommendation for regular physical activity
as part of the management of these patients, more rigorous studies of
physical activity behaviors and attitudes will be useful to inform
interventions and promote exercise among individuals with SpA.

Effects
of the Pilates method on variables related to functionality of a patient with
traumatic spondylolisthesis at L4-L5: A case study.
|
Traumatic
spondylolisthesis at L4-L5 is a rare complication in the spine, which impairs
variables related to the functionality of the person affected. To verify the
effects of the Pilates method on strength and muscular resistance,
flexibility, postural balance and level of pain in a patient with traumatic
spondylolisthesis at L4-L5.
|
The
following evaluations were performed pre and post-intervention: resistance of
the flexor and extensor muscles of the trunk; isokinetic peak torque of the
extensor and flexor muscles of the knee; hip and torso flexibility; static
postural balance; and the visual analog scale of pain. The treatment
consisted of three weekly sessions of Pilates, performed over 12 weeks.
|
There
was improvement in all the tests, except for one variable related to postural
balance.
|
The

The
Effect of Pilates Exercises on Muscular Endurance of the Central Part of Body
and the Range of Motion of Lumbar Spine in Patients with Spondylolysis
|
Spondylolysis,
is an anatomical disorder in posterior vertebrae part in area between pedicle
and the lamina in between joint region Pars InterArticularis which affects
the patient function. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the
effect of eight weeks Pilates exercise on muscular endurance of the central
part of the body and the range of motion of lumber spine in patients with
spondylolysis. Methods: Fourteen women with spondylolysis by spine's
neuropsychologist diagnosis were selected, and were randomly divided into two
equal groups of experimental (mean ± SD: 38.8±8.5 years, height 161.2 ± 6.9
cm, weight 69 ± 8.7 kg), and control (mean ± SD: 38.4±8.7 years, height 165 ±
5.2 cm, weight of 65.8± 6.8 kg). Experimental group performed selected
Pilates exercise for eight weeks, three sessions in a week, and each session
60 minutes, , but during these time control group did not participate in any
treatment activity and performed normal daily activities. Muscle endurance
(McGill test) and range of motion lumbar spine (Modified-Modified Schober's
Technique) were evaluated before and after eight weeks training. For data
analysis, analysis of variance model with duplicate size (p0.05). In total,
there were significant differences between experimental and control groups
(p0.05). In total, there were significant differences between experimental
and control groups (p
