Abstract

Purpose: To determine the effect of Pilates exercises on pain, endurance, quality-of-life, and disability in post-menopausal women with low back pain.

Methods: After obtaining signed written consent, 128 women in the post-menopausal stage were randomly allocated to two groups: group 'A' (experimental) and group 'B' (control-conventional). The participants underwent evaluations for disability using the Oswestry Disability Scale. Pain levels were recorded using a numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), while endurance was tested using the Krause Weber test. Quality of life (QOL) was evaluated using the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) Questionnaire.

Results: Both the exercises Pilates (group A) and the conventional exercise (group B) showed improvement and compared to group B, group A showed significant changes in all outcome variables.

Conclusion: Pilates training proves superior to conventional physical therapy for alleviating non-specific LBP and enhancing lumbar health in post-menopausal women.

普拉提运动对绝经后腰痛妇女疼痛、耐力、生活质量和残疾的影响。

目的：确定普拉提运动对绝经后腰痛妇女疼痛、耐力、生活质量和残疾的影响。方法：128名绝经后妇女在获得书面同意后，随机分为A组（实验组）和B组（对照组-常规组）。参与者使用Oswestry残疾量表进行残疾评估。采用数值疼痛评定量表（NPRS）记录疼痛水平，采用Krause Weber测试测试耐力。生活质量（QOL）采用绝经期特异性生活质量（MENQOL）问卷进行评估。结果：普拉提运动（A组）和常规运动（B组）均有改善，与B组相比，A组在所有结局变量上均有显著变化。结论：在缓解非特异性腰痛和改善绝经后妇女腰椎健康方面，普拉提训练优于传统物理治疗。试验注册：印度临床试验注册中心（CTRI）， CTRI/2024/04/065057。于2024年4月2日注册。
