Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Increased quality of life regarding pain (62.6%) and vitality (45%) after training with the Pilates method. The group of stretching and lectures presented no significant difference.;Decrease in Functional Disability, assessed by the Roland Morris questionnaire, based on the variation of at least 10% between pre and post intervention evaluations.;Decreased functional disability of 59.3% in the Pilates group. The group of stretching and lectures presented no significant difference.;Decreased of kinesiophobia, evaluated by the Tampa Scale, from the variation of at least 10% between pre and post intervention evaluations.;The Pilates and Lecture groups presented reduction of kinesiophobia of 10.55% and 10.19%, respectively, after the interventions, whereas the Stretching group did not obtain significant difference.;Normalization of trunk proprioception, evaluated by the electrogoniometer during the movement of flexion and trunk extension, from the variation of at least 10% between pre and post intervention evaluations.;The Pilates group, stretching and lectures presented no significant difference in the evaluation of trunk proprioception.;Pain reduction after training, evaluated by the Visual Analog Scale, based on the variation of at least 10% between pre and post intervention evaluations.;Pain reduction after the training of the Pilates group of 41% of daily pain, while the pain of the day of the test there was no difference The group stretching and lectures did not present significant difference of the daily pain and the day of the test.;Increased muscle endurance time after training, assessed by the Biering-sorensen test, from the variation of at least 10% between pre and post intervention evaluations.;The Pilates group, stretching and lectures did not present significant difference in the evaluation of the time of muscle endurance;Increased paravertebral muscle strength after training, assessed by the lumbar dynamometer test, from the variation of at least 10% betw

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Increased activity of internal oblique, external oblique, multiipid and iliocostal muscles after training, assessed during the Biering-sorensen test using surface electromyography, using a variation of at least 30% between pre and post-intervention evaluations.;The activity of internal oblique, external obliques, multiipid and iliocostal muscles after training, evaluated during the Biering-sorensen test, did not present any difference in the groups evaluated.;Increased activity of the internal oblique, external oblique, multifid and iliocostal muscles after training, assessed during the trunk proprioception test using surface electromyography, using a variation of at least 10% between pre and post intervention evaluations .;The activity of the internal oblique, external oblique, multifid and iliocostal muscles after training, evaluated during the trunk proprioception test, did not present any difference in the groups evaluated.;Increased activity of the internal oblique, external oblique, multifid and iliocostal muscles after training, assessed during the strength test of the extensor muscles of the trunk with the use of surface electromyography, from the variation of at least 10% between the pre- and post intervention.;The activity of the internal oblique, external oblique, multifid and iliocostal muscles after training, evaluated during the strength test of the extensor muscles of the trunk, did not present difference in the evaluated groups.
