Background: Chronic low back pain is an expensive and difficult condition to treat. Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal symptoms seen in 85 % of individuals in their life time. One of the interventions widely used by physiotherapists in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) is exercise therapy based upon the Pilates principles. Objective: The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of Modified Pilates based exercises for patients with Chronic Non Specific Low Back Pain. Design: A randomized controlled trial, pre test-post test design Setting: The study was conducted in Out Patient Department of physiotherapy, K.G Hospital, Coimbatore, India. Patients: Fifty– two physically active subjects between 18 – 60 years old with Chronic Non specific Low Specific Pain of more than 12 weeks’ duration were randomly assigned into 2 groups. Interventions: Group A subjects underwent a Modified specific Pilates based exercises with Flexibility Exercises & G...

Objective: There is little high-quality evidence on the efficacy of the Pilates-based exercises for the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a study protocol to investigate the efficacy of adding Pilates-based exercises to a minimum intervention in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods: This randomized controlled trial will recruit 86 patients of both sexes, aged between 18 and 60 years, with chronic non-specific low back pain. The participants will be randomly allocated into 2 treatment groups: the Booklet Group, which will receive a booklet with postural orientations, and the Pilates Group, which will receive the same booklet in addition to a Pilates-based exercises program. The general and specific functional capacities of the patient, kinesiophobia, pain intensity, and the global perceived effect will be evaluated by a blinded assessor before randomization and at 6 weeks and 6 months after randomization. In addition, the expectations of the participants and their confidence in the treatment will be evaluated before the randomization and after the first treatment session, respectively. Conclusions: It is hoped that the results of this study will provide high-quality evidence on the usefulness of Pilates-based exercises in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain.

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common causes of disability, and the Pilates method has been associated with improvements in symptoms. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Pilates method, when compared to general exercises, on pain and functionality after eight weeks (16 sessions, 2Â/week) and a follow-up of three months, in subjects with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). A randomised controlled trial composed of 22 subjects was proposed. Subjects were allocated into two groups: the Pilates group (PG) (n Z 11) and the general exercise group (GEG) (n Z 11). The PG protocol was

Introduction and Aim: Low back discomfort is one of the commonest musculoskeletal problems. The Pilates exercises are an approach to stretching and strengthening techniques and specifically train all the core muscles. The intend of the current study was to verify the influences of the Pilates exercises among pain and disability among patients with Non-specific Low Back Pain (NSLBP). Materials and Methods: A 100 non-specific low back pain subjects were randomly selected for this experimental study. The study includes of non-specific LBP age group between 25 to 40 years, both male and female patients with pain and disability and this study excludes spinal fractures and Pregnant Women. The estimations were taken utilizing Visual Analogue scale (VAS), Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) and Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (MODQ). Subjects are allotted in two groups, Group A (Pilates group) receives Pilate’s exercise and Group B (conventional group) rece...

Exercise plays an important role in rehabilitating people with chronic low back pain. Aerobic exercise and resistance training are general exercise strategies to manage chronic low back pain, but these strategies require longer intervention period to achieve clinical outcomes in pain reduction and functional improvements. Directional preference is recognised as an important exercise strategy in managing low back pain. The Clinical Pilates exercise method leverages on the directional preference of an individual to achieve clinical outcomes faster. Clinical Pilates is a hybrid of two of the best exercise interventions for low back pain, which are general Pilates and the McKenzie method. Due to the scarcity of Clinical Pilates literature, a review of its theory and studies was undertaken to provide a structured guide to the technique in managing people with chronic low back pain. Hypothetical algorithms are developed to support translation into clinical practice and future research stu...

Objective: The purpose was to compare the effectiveness of the Pilates Method versus the Back School in specialized care, assessing improving the disability with the Roland Morris questionnaire and the perceived pain with the visual analog scale (VAS) in people with non-specific chronic low back pain. Method: Single-blind randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of the Pilates Method for patients with low back pain compared to Back School exercises, two groups of 48 patients, 3-month treatment period. Results: The Pilates Group (GP) recorded significant improvements in all of the variables that were the subject for this research, compared to those provided by the Back School Group (GEE). In the Roland Morris questionnaire of 0,41 points [GP (Mean difference [MD] Pretreatment-posttreatment =2,08; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1,21 to 2,95; p=0,001) vs GEE ( MD=1,66; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0,90 to 2,43; p=0,001 )]. In the visual analog scale (VAS) of 0,40 points [...
Low back pain is a widespread and displeased pain that disables the patient to do his daily affairs and may lead to his hospitalization. So, it can create physical and mental problems and too much medical expenditure in itself. One of the most important suggested therapies is Movement Therapy that has proven effectiveness on improvement of patient's action. The present study investigated eight weeks Pilates and stabilization exercises on pain, Functional disability, Trunk muscle endurance and Flexibility among the 25-50 years women affected by Chronic Low back pain. In this quasi-experimental study there were selected 60 women affected by Chronic Low back pain purposefully, at average age of 37/93±8/62years, weight of 64/91±10/70kg and 162/03±5/26 centimeter and divided up affirming (20 persons), Pilates (20 persons) and control (20 persons) groups randomly. The affirming and Pilate's groups received Pilates and corrective exercises for eight weeks, thrice a week for one hour. Variables of pain, Functional disability, flexor and Extensor
