fa تاثیر تمرینات پیلاتس بر کمردرد مزمن غیراختصاصی و دامنه‌ی حرکتی با ثبات در زنان 40 تا 60 سال کارآزمایی بالینی Clinical Trials <p><strong><em>Background and Objective:</em></strong> Non-specific chronic lower back pain is the most common type of chronic lower back pain. The use of rehabilitation to achieve a more rapid improvement in patients with chronic lower back pain has always been taken into account. The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of a Pilates program on chronic non-specific lower back pain and stable range of motion in 40 to 60 year old women.</p> <p><strong><em>Materials and Methods:</em></strong> The subjects of this study included 34 women with chronic non-specific lower back pain (CNLBP) that were randomly assigned into two groups; a group undergoing a Pilates program (n = 17) and a control group (n = 17). The Pilates group performed exercises for 10 one hour sessions. After completion of the training program, the post-test was conducted. The Modified-Modified Schober test, lateral bend angle and visual analog scale (VAS), were used to collect data. In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Covariance; ANCOVA and Sidac post hoc test) were used.</p> <p><strong><em>Results:</em></strong> Pilates exercises had a significant influence on the variables of pain, left lateral flexion, right lateral flexion, hyperextension and flexion of the lumbar spine (P<0/05). Sidac findings also showed significant differences between the Pilates and the control group in measurements of pain, left lateral flexion, lateral flexion right, hyperextension and flexion (P<0/05).</p> <p><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong> In order to increase the range of motion of the lumbar spine, trunk stability and reduce back pain, coaches and managers could use this non-invasive and low-cost method (Pilates) in rehabilitation programs for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.</p> <p></p><p></p> Keywords: Chronic non-specific low back pain, Range of motion, Pilates 20 30 http://journal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-4-985&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Yahya Sokhanguei یحیی سخنگویی 5200319475328460053609 5200319475328460053609 No Dept. of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تهران Mansoureh Sadoughi Noorabadi منصوره صدوقی نورآبادی 5200319475328460053610 5200319475328460053610 No Dept. of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, Karaj, Iran دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی واحد کرج Nahid Sadoughi Noorabadi ناهید صدوقی نورآبادی 5200319475328460053611 5200319475328460053611 No Dept. of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Kharazmi University, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه خوارزمی تهران Mahmoud Hatami محمود حاتمی m_hatamy91@yahoo.com 5200319475328460053612 5200319475328460053612 Yes Dept. of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Kharazmi University, Tehran, Iran دانشگاه خوارزمی تهران
