Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The participants were divided into three groups as reformer pilates group, mat pilates group and control group. Patients were allocated to the groups according to order of arrival starting from the reformer pilates group using a simple basic randomization method. All assessments were performed face to face by the physiotherapist. Exercise follow-up was performed individually. Pain intensity, level of disability, flexibility values, quality of life, and trunk extension endurance times were evaluated before and after treatment. Reformer, mat pilates, and general posture exercise training were performed twice a weekly for 12 weeks. In evaluation, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used for pain intensity, Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire for disability, Short Form - 36 Questionnaire (SF-36) for quality of life, Sit-lie test for flexibility, McGill extension test for trunk extension endurance. Demographic information of individuals was recorded.
