【 摘 要 】

Background:Pain alters the neuromuscular activation and results in altered movement adaptations. A new exercise prescription method proposes that we can restore the neuromuscular control by rehabilitating the deficient neural drive through Pilates exercises. This is done by identifying the postural control deficits using single-leg tests such as hopping, half squats and heel raises. The aim of this study was to find out if this method of prescribing exercises results in clinically relevant outcomes.Methods:Fifteen patients with chronic non-specific low back pain with unilateral musculoskeletal pain were recruited. Following consent, all patients were randomly assigned either to perform gym or Pilates-based individualised exercises once weekly for six weeks. The primary outcome was to measure the pain intensity using a 0–10 numerical rating scale. The secondary outcome measures were: the global perceived effect scale (GPE; 0–10), the patient-specific functional scale (PSFS; the patient-generated measure of...
