简要总结
Objective: This study evaluates the effect of 12-week clinical pilates exercises on young adults with mechanical low back pain.
Design: This is a randomized controlled trial. Setting: This study was conducted in a university's physiotherapy and exercise practice laboratory.
Cases: A total of 63 mechanical low back pain volunteers were included. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group consisting of clinical Pilates exercises for 12 weeks (n = 31) or the control group not receiving any treatment (n = 32).
详细描述
Objective
This study evaluates the effect of 12-week clinical pilates exercises on young adults with mechanical low back pain.
Design: This is a randomized controlled trial. Setting: This study was conducted in a university's physiotherapy and exercise practice laboratory.
Cases: A total of 63 mechanical low back pain volunteers were included. The diagnosis of mechanical low back pain was made by a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician. Exercises are performed by an experienced physiotherapist with Clinical Pilates certification.
Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group consisting of clinical Pilates exercises for 12 weeks (n = 31) or the control group not receiving any treatment (n = 32).
Leading measures: Dysfunction was evaluated with the Oswestry Dysfunction Index. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)7,9 is the most commonly used outcome-measure questionnaire for low back pain in a hospital setting. Low bak pain was evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). VAS is a tool used to help a person rate the intensity of certain sensations and feelings, such as pain. The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. And flexibility was evaluated with the sit and reach test test. The sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles. Measurements were performed at baseline and the end of the 12th week of the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Prim Outcome - Oswestry Dysability Index
时间窗: 12 weeks
Pain-related functional competence was evaluated with the Oswestry disability index (ODI). ODI is a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions measuring the severity of pain, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, social life, sleep, travel status, and cognitive status of pain. Each question is evaluated between 0-5 points, and the ratio of the received score to the total answered question score gives the patient score. It is known that functional competence decreases and disability increases as the total score increases. It is interpreted as 0% to 20% - minimum disability 20% to 40% - moderate disability; 40% to 60% - severe disability; 60% to 80% - disabled 80% to 100% - bed-bound (or exaggerated symptoms).
