Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study to examine the effects of traditional mat exercises, Reformer Pilates (RP) and Hammock Yoga (HY) approaches on pain, endurance, balance, disability, and quality of life of individuals who had Chronic low back pain (LBP).
Method: 60 individuals who had Chronic LBP were participated and randomly attended into 3 groups as RP group (n=20, mean age:31.85±8.89 years), HY group (n=20, mean age:29.90±6.70 years), and mat group (n=20, mean age:30.40±8.21 years). All exercise training was applied twice a week for 4 weeks (45 minutes). The pain was evaluated with VAS and McGill, endurance was evaluated with plank tests and single leg hip bridge test, static balance was assessed with standing on single leg, and dynamic balance was assesed with the Star Excursion Balance Test. The Oswestry Disability Questionnaire and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) were used for disability and quality of life measurements, respectively.
Results: Improvements were observed on a group basis in all evaluated parameters (p<0.05). In the mat group, the McGill score improved more than the HY group, and Oswestry and WHOQOL-Bref improved more than the HY and RP groups (p<0.05). The performance of standing on single leg improved in the HY group more than the mat group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Traditional mat exercises can be preferred primarily to reduce disability and improve the quality of life in individuals with Chronic LBP in a short time. The HY can be added to the content of individual exercise programs for the development of balance.

KRONİK BEL AĞRISI OLAN BİREYLERDE GELENEKSEL MAT EGZERSİZLERİ İLE REFORMER PİLATES VE HAMAK YOGA’NIN AĞRI, DAYANIKLILIK, DENGE, ENGELLİK VE YAŞAM KALİTESİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ

Abstract

Özet
Amaç; Geleneksel mat egzersizleri, Reformer Pilates (RP) ve Hamak Yogası (HY) yaklaşımlarının Kronik bel ağrılı bireylerin ağrı, dayanıklılık, denge, engellilik ve yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemek.
Yöntem; Kronik bel ağrısı olan 60 birey çalışmaya katıldı ve rastgele RP grubu (n=20, ortalama yaş:31.85±8.89 yıl), HY grubu (n=20, ortalama yaş:29.90±6.70 yıl) ve mat grubu (n=20, ortalama yaş:30.40±8.21 yıl) olmak üzere 3 gruba ayrıldı. Tüm egzersiz eğitimleri 4 hafta boyunca haftada iki kez (45 dakika) uygulandı. Ağrı; VAS ve McGill ile, endurans; plank testi ve tek bacak kalça köprüsü testi ile, statik denge; tek ayak üzerinde durma testi ile ve dinamik denge; yıldız denge testi ile değerlendirildi. Engelilik; Oswestry Özürlülük Anketi ile, yaşam kalitesi ise Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi (WHOQOL-Bref) ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgu; Değerlendirilen tüm parametreler gruplarda iyileşti (p<0.05). Mat grubunda McGill skoru HY grubuna göre, Oswestry ve WHOQOL-Bref skorları ise HY ve RP gruplarına göre daha fazla iyileşti (p<0.05). Tek ayak üzerinde durma performansı HY grubunda mat grubuna göre daha fazla iyileştiği görüldü (p<0.05).
Sonuç; Kısa vadede, geleneksel mat egzersizleri kronik bel ağrısı olan bireylerin engelliliğini azaltmak ve yaşam kalitesini artırmak için öncelikle tercih edilebilir. Denge gelişimi için bireysel egzersiz programlarının içeriğine RP veya HY eklenebilir.
