| Abstract | Background and Purpose: There are various methods of treatment in subjects with low back pain (LBP), such as Pilates exercises, traditional physical therapy, and electrotherapy modalities are used. Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) is another form of LBP; in which distribution of pain is from the costal margin up to the inferior gluteal fold. The purpose of this study was to find out a better exercise approach for treating subjects with chronic NSLBP. Subjects and Methods: 30 participants were randomly allocated, using a 1:1 scheme, to the experimental group (n=15; Male: Female= 07:08 ) with mean age 27.33 ± 7.55 were treated with Pilates exercise program along with Dynamic strengthening exercise and control group (n=15; Male: Female= 09:06) with mean age 31.40 ± 9.88 were treated with dynamic strengthening exercise alone, thrice per week for 4 weeks. Pain intensity was measured by VAS, function by ODI and stabilometric parameters by Posturography through forceplate at baseline, and after the last session for all subjects. Results: Both groups were homogenous at baseline (p>0.05) related to all variables. Intragroup comparison showed significant improvement in VAS (p<0.05) and ODI (p<0.05) in both groups, whereas significant improvement found in stabilometric parameters only in group A. When we compared between the groups; group A showed statistically significant improvement in pain (p<0.05), function (p<0.05) and stabilometric parameters (p<0.05) than group B. Conclusion: Pilates exercises are found to be more effective in reducing pain, improving function, and stabilometric parameters in subject with NSLBP than dynamic strengthening exercise alone. |
