Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Assessment | 12 weeks | An algometer will be used to measure pain levels. We have identified three muscle groups for the algometer: Gluteus Medius, Erector Spinae, and Quadratus Lumborum. A low level indicates greater sensitivity and weakness. |
| Quality of Life Assessment | 12 weeks | Quality of life will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index. It is used to evaluate the effect of the MAT Pilates and EMS-assisted exercise programs applied in the study on daily living activities. The lower the total score, the less the disability.The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum disability), with higher scores reflecting increased functional impairment. |
| Anxiety Assessment | 12 weeks | Individuals' anxiety levels are assessed using the Beck Anxiety Scale. This assessment aims to compare individuals' anxiety levels before and after intervention. A high score on the Beck Anxiety Scale indicates a higher level of anxiety. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is scored from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater levels of anxiety. |
| Endurance Assessment | 12 weeks | : Individual endurance is assessed using three movements: the Plank, Bridge Movement, and V-Sit position. These selected movements target the anterior, posterior, and lateral core muscle groups, enabling an assessment of overall endurance. |
