Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of 12-week pilates exercise and trunk strength training on the scores of visual analog scale(VAS)and Roland-Morris disability questionnaire(RMDQ),trunk extension/flexion strength and dynamic balance of female college students with chronic non-specific low back pain(CNSLBP),so as to offer a practical-based evidence for the rehabilitation treatment for female college students with CNSLBP.Methods A total of 45 female college students with CNSLBP were randomly divided into pilates(n=22)and strength training groups(n=23).Then,the scores of VAS and RMDQ,trunk extension/flexion strength and dynamic balance were measured before and after the exercise.Results After the 12-week exercise program,compared with the pre-exercise period,the VAS and RMDQ scores in the pilates and strength training groups were significantly decreased;the extensor peak torque(EPT)at 30°/s and 90°/s angular velocities in both groups and the flexor peak torque(FPT)at 90°/s angular velocities in the Pilates group were significantly increased,and the ratio of flexor/extensor(F/E)at 30°/s and 90°/s angular velocities in both groups were significantly decreased.In the eyes-open condition,only the anterior/posterior stability index(APSI)significantly decreased in the Pilates group.With eyes closed,the APSI,stability index(SI),and medial/lateral stability index(MLSI)significantly decreased in the pilates group,and only the APSI significantly decreased in the strength training group.After 12-week exercise,compared with strength training group,the VAS scores and F/E at 30°/s and 90°/s angular velocities decreased significantly in the pilates group,and EPT at 30°/s and 90°/s angular velocities increased significantly.In the eyes-closed condition,the SI,APSI,and MLSI in the pilates group were significantly lower than those in strength training group.Conclusions Compared with strength training,pilates exercise can significantly increase and balance the trunk flexion/extension muscle strength of female college students with NSLBP,enhance dynamic balance ability under eyes-closed conditions,and improve the low back pain of CNSLBP female college students with CNSLBP.
