A Comparative Study: Pilates And Circuit Training On Postmenopausal Women With Chronic Low Back Pain
Main Article Content
Abstract
AIM: The study aims to investigate and compare the effect of Pilates, Circuit Training, and Conventional on chronic low back pain and functional outcomes in postmenopausal women with chronic low back pain
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Background:
Objective: Chronic lower Back Pain can impair function and affect quality of life. This study compared the effects of Pilates and Circuit Training on postmenopausal women with Chronic Lower back pain Design: Experimental Study.
Setting: Physiotherapy Department Santosh Hospital, Ghaziabad
Participants: 30 participants (age: 45± 60 years) Individuals with more than 3 months were enrolled in this study.
Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned into 3 groups: Group A (N=10) – Pilates Training, Group B (N=10) - Circuit Training, Group C (N=10)- Conventional Therapy (duration – 30-40minutes for 6 weeks)
Outcome Measures: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index
Results: The study experimented with three procedures before treatment, after 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks. Then, clinical measures were computed in the three groups. In the present study (p<0.05), there is significant improvement in functional ability, ROM, and low back pain. The findings suggest that Circuit training, Pilates training, and Conventional therapy would be equally effective in treating low back pain. Also, in terms of flexion and extension circuit training would be more helpful compared to other exercises Conclusion: The study findings revealed that training exercises like Circuit training, Pilates training, and conventional therapy were equally effective in improving low back pain, functional ability, and ROM. It was also seen that Circuit training for Flexion and Extension was more effective compared to the other two exercises. There was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test levels of these exercises test (p<0.05)
