Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of traditional mat exercises, Reformer Pilates and Hammock Yoga approaches on pain, endurance, balance, disability, and quality of life of individuals who had Chronic Back Pain.
Detailed Description
Low back pain is among the leading musculoskeletal problems worldwide causing serious health expenditures. It can affect people of all ages in the community, but it is common in individuals between the fourth and fifth decades of life. Low back pain is divided into 3 subclasses according to the duration of the symptoms as Acute (lasting only a few weeks), Subacute (lasting about 6 to 12 weeks), and Chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks).Traditional exercise approaches are frequently used modalities in the treatment of Chronic Back Pain as an extremely valuable approach to preventing movement limitation, controlling existing pain, and regaining motor functions. Pilates exercises are very valuable for the treatment of low back pain because they provide stabilization. Pilates activates the lumbopelvic muscles and supports functional movement as an effective factor in reducing pain. Yoga is also a mind-body exercise discipline that includes both physical and mental aspects of pain with core strengthening, flexibility, relaxation, and breathing modalities.When the literature was reviewed, no study was detected examining the effectiveness of Hammock Yoga and Reformer Pilates in people who have Chronic Back Pain and compares it with traditional mat exercises.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 4 weeks
A Visual Analog Scale was used to evaluate pain intensity. This scale is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.
Pain characteristics
Time Frame: 4 weeks
McGill Short Form was used at the beginning and end of the study to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of pain. The scale helps to learn about the sensory, emotional, and intensity component of pain. Fifteen items in the scale help define pain (11 sensory descriptors and 4 emotional descriptors). The participants were asked to rate their pain as 0=none, 1=less, 2=moderate, and 3=extreme, according to the intensity level. The total score was obtained by summing the scores given.
Disability
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Disability (e.g., walking, sitting, standing, pain intensity, and sleeping) were evaluated with the Oswestry Disability Index, which consisted of 10 sections. A total score was obtained by scoring a Likert-type design ( 0-5 in each section). An increase in the score indicated an increased disability
Quality of Life
Time Frame: 4 weeks
The World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQOL-Bref) Questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life. The questionnaire has 5 sections (Psychological Health, Physical Health, General Health, Social Relations, and Environmental Health).An increase in the score indicated an increased Quality of Life.
Secondary Outcomes
- Core Muscle Endurance Test(4 weeks)
- Static Balance Test(4 weeks)
- Hip Muscle Endurance Test(4 weeks)
- Dynamic Balance Test(4 weeks)
