Objetivo:comprobar la efectividad del método Pilates Romana para conseguir una mayor flexibilidad de la columna, junto con una mejora en la movilidad de la misma, así como del dolor que presentan en ...su vida diaria los pacientes. Metodología: ensayo clínico con intención de tratar a treinta pacientes con dolor lumbar inespecífico. Asistieron a 15 sesiones, 2 veces a la semana, del Método Pilates Romana.. Se evaluaron parámetros tales como dolor, test de Schöber, SRS-22 y distancia dedos- suelo. Resultados. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas con respecto al dolor (escala EVA), distancia dedos- suelo, test de Schöber (flexibilidad en plano sagital), flexión lateral (flexibilidad en plano frontal) y en varios ítems de la escala SRS-22, con valores de p<0,001. Por ello, este método puede ser usado para mejorar el dolor, la flexibilidad axial, la función y los aspectos relacionados con la calidad de vida.

During pregnancy, women undergo biopsychosocial changes that can be accompanied by musculoskeletal complaints. Pilates is a type of body and mind exercise that may be an option to preventing these ...complaints. However, there is still no evidence on its effects in preventing of musculoskeletal complaints in pregnant women.
To evaluate the feasibility of Pilates in preventing of musculoskeletal complaints throughout the entire gestational period in pregnant women. Secondary objectives will be to identify the occurrence of musculoskeletal complaints and the number of days from randomization at which these complaints occur, evaluating the type of delivery at birth, and comparing costs related to the gestational period in in woman with routine risk pregnancies and musculoskeletal complaints.
In this randomized controlled pilot study with economic evaluation, 20 pregnant women at routine risk in the 12th gestational week will be randomly allocated into two groups: usual care group, which will receive an educational booklet with information about on routine pregnancy care, and Pilates group, which will receive the same educational booklet and will participate in a specific Pilates exercise program for pregnancy, twice a week, throughout the gestational period. The primary outcomes will be acceptability, suitability, feasibility and fidelity. Secondary outcomes will be the occurrence of a musculoskeletal complaints and the number of days from randomization at which these complaints occur, type of delivery, costs of maternal and fetal healthcare, costs for the pregnant woman and family, and costs of productivity loss at work (presenteeism and absenteeism). Assessments will be conducted at the 12th, 24th and 36th weeks of gestation, and seven to 15 days after delivery, using questionnaires specially developed for this study.
It is expected that the Pilates exercise program will be feasible for pregnant women, from early to late stages of pregnancy, and that it will have positive effects on the evaluated clinical outcomes. Additionally, the economic evaluation will allow for identification of the economic impact that pregnancy, with or without musculoskeletal complaints, has on both the pregnant woman and the health system.
This study will assess the feasibility of a Pilates exercise program throughout the entire gestational period, as well as measure of clinical and economic outcomes for conducting a randomized controlled trial with economic evaluation.
The results of this pilot study will indicate whether it is feasible to conduct a randomized controlled trial for the prevention of musculoskeletal complaints in pregnant women, focusing on important clinical outcomes for this population.
BackgroundScapular stabilization and muscular strength is important for achieving appropriate scapular movement and preventing shoulder injuries related to sports. Pilates exercises have positive ...effect on the muscle strength, stabilisation of joints and improving physical fitness.ObjectiveThe aim of our study was to investigate the effect of regular pilates exercises on scapular stabilization.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingCyprus International University.Patients (or Participants)70 subjects has included fort his study. 35 subjects who performed regular pilates exercises 2–3 days a week for at least 6 months in rehabilitation and exercises clinic as Group 1 and 35 subjects with sedentary lifestyle as Group2 diveded into two groups.Interventions (or assessment of risk factors)Group 1 performed clinical pilates exercises which included 8 different exercises (shoulder, back, arms, abdominals and legs exercises) for 45–60 min every section. Group 2 had a sedentary life style with less than 1 day exercises or sport in a week.Main outcome measurementsScapular muscle strength of serratus anterior, lower trapezius, middle trapezius, upper trapezius were evaluated with Lafayette Hand-Held Dynamometer for both of groups.ResultsAs a result of the study, there are statistically significant difference between two groups in the serratus anterior muscle (p=0,029), lower trapezius muscle (p<0,001), middle trapezius muscle (p<0,001), upper trapezius muscle (p=0,001) in favour of group 1.ConclusionsPilates exercises have positive effects on scapular muscle strength. It is recommended that clinical pilates exercises should be included in exercise programs to maintain scapular stabilization, and to prevent shoulder injuries.
Background: The Pilates Method is a program of physical and mental training that involves the whole body, aiming at the gain of muscular strength, mainly of the central region, formed by the ...abdominal muscles, the spine and the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). The PFM responds to sexual stimulation, with increased local blood circulation and involuntary contractions during orgasm. The training of this musculature assists in the female sexual function. Objective: To evaluate the influence of Pilates Mat associated with perineal contraction in the female sexual response. Method: Uncontrolled clinical trial in which participated twelve women between 20 and 50 years old, who performed Mat Pilates classes associated with perineal exercises, three times a week. The sexual response was evaluated through the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the contraction capacity of PFM through the Functional Evaluation of the Pelvic Floor (FEPF) before and after 21 sessions. Results: Given the proposed treatment, the FSFI responded positively (0.0099), with an improvement in the median and interquartile range that initially was 25.6 ± 5.4 and increased to 28.4 ± 1.2. The Functional Evaluation of the Pelvic Floor (FEPF) also achieved significant improvement (p= 0.0077), increased from the initial median and interquartile range of 2 ± 1.5 to 4 ± 1. Conclusion: Mat Pilates provides encouraging results, and its use is relevant to promote improved sexual response and strength gain of the pelvic floor muscle.

PURPOSELow back pain is the most frequently reported musculoskeletal disorder and represents one of the highest patient burdens in healthcare. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to ...investigate the effectiveness of Pilates exercise on pain intensity and functional disability caused by low back pain (LBP). MATERIALS AND METHODSA Systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted. Data sources: MEDLINE-NLM and MEDLINE-EBSCO. We also searched on Scopus Elsevier, Cochrane, DOAJ, SciELO, PEDro, and PLOS ONE databases. Eligibility criteria: randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating LBP in which the primary treatment was based on Pilates exercise compared with no exercise, or non-specific exercise. RESULTSThe search returned 1566 records of which 36 articles were included in the systematic review and 19 in the meta-analysis. Twenty-two studies compared the effects of Pilates exercise vs no exercise and 13 studies examined the effects of Pilates exercise vs non-specific exercise. Analysis showed that Pilates had a positive effect on the perception of LBP vs no exercise. A similar trend occurred with non-specific exercise. CONCLUSIONSPilates exercise can decrease LBP compared to no exercise and non-specific exercise. General practitioners should consider Pilates exercise as an effective strategy to manage LBP and counteract the growing health. TRIAL REGISTRATIONPROSPERO registration number: CRD42022308387.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONPilates is a good strategy for improving low back pain and is more effective than other exercise programs or no exercise.Pilates is a safe tool to apply to most of the population with low back pain.Pilates is a non-pharmacological strategy useful for counteracting low back pain.
