Brief Summary

An assessment of the effectiveness of Pilates based physical therapy exercises for patients with low back pain (LBP) and its influence on spinal movement and patient reported functional disability.

Conditions

Mechanical Low Back Pain

Keywords

Spinal alignment; Kinematics; Pilates; Physical Therapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Radiographic Spino-pelvic Alignment Parameters

  Thoroaco-lumbo-pelvic dynamic radiographs taken for both maximum flexion and extension will be analysed to determine parameters such as 1. Pelvic incidence angle, 2. Pelvic tilt angle, 3. Sacral slope angle, 4. Lumbosacral angle, 5. Lumbar lordosis angle and 6.

  12-month

• Radiographic Lumbar Spine Segmental and Global Range of Motion

  Thoroaco-lumbo-pelvic dynamic radiographs taken for both maximum flexion and extension will be analysed to determine the lumbar spine segmental and its contribution to the global range of motion

  12-month

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Modified Oswestry Disability Index

  12-month

• Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire

• Short Form-36

Study Population

It is anticipated that 100 patients with clinical signs and symptoms of low back pain (LBP) for at least 3 months will be recruited. 25 age-matched healthy control will also be recruited for the study.

You may qualify if:

• \. Predominant LBP for a minimum of three consecutive months as diagnosed by a rehabilitation physician

You may not qualify if:

• Radicular neurological signs,
• Trauma induced LBP,
• Diagnosis of spinal deformity such as scoliosis or spondylolisthesis,
• Spinal infection or tumor,
• Rheumatologic conditions,
• Previous spinal surgery,
• History of hip or pelvic disorder that required treatment,
• Contradiction for radiographic exposure such as pregnancy.
