“…The scores for each item are added to obtain the total score, which is then divided by 50 and multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage. Values in the range of 0–20%, 21–40%, 41–60%, 61–80%, and 81–100% indicate minimal disability, moderate disability, severe disability, paralyzed, and patients who must be bed-bound, respectively [ 27 ].

Effect of Home-Based Tele-Pilates Intervention on Pregnant Women: A Pilot Study

Pilates is effective for training the core muscles and stabilizing the hip joints, which provides relief from pelvic pain and low back pain during pregnancy. However, there are no specific guidelines on appropriate physical exercises for pregnant women due to the current pandemic. We aimed to apply the exercise standard proposed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to home-based tele-Pilates exercise (HTPE), to determine its effect on the physical and mental health of pregnant women. We randomly divided the subjects into the following two groups who completed 8 weeks of HTPE (50 min/day, 2 days/week): (a) Pilates exercise (PE, n = 7) and (B) non-Pilates exercise (CON, n = 7). HTPE was performed by adjusting the program every 3 weeks, based on pain and physical fitness levels. We measured body composition, muscles of the hip joint, pelvic tilt, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), before and after HTPE. Following HTPE, while the percentage of body fat and body mass index had significantly decreased, the body fat mass did not change in the PE group (p < 0.05). The PE group showed an increase in strength of the left and right hip flexion and hip abduction, compared to the CON group (p < 0.01). The ODI and PSQI were significantly decreased in the PE group (p < 0.05). Therefore, the 8-week HTPE program is an effective exercise for pregnant woman that reduces body fat metabolism and strengthens muscles of the hip joint, thus alleviating pregnancy-induced low back pain and insomnia.

Background: Recent work has examined an association between functional leg length discrepancy (fLLD) and acute low back pain (aLBP). Myofascial release (MFR) techniques are thought to be frequently applied in the treatment of aLBP. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a practical and low-cost measure of fLLD.Methods: A total of 83 subjects with aLBP and fLLD greater than 3 mm who underwent an MFR technique on the thoracolumbar fascia were included. In group 1 (12 subjects from a pilot study), fLLD was measured using a cross line laser (CLL), and group 2 (71 subjects from an RCT) was measured using video raster stereography (VRS) and matched with group 1 in terms of sex, age, and body mass index.Results: CLL showed an almost perfect agreement with VRS (ICC = 0.88) and required little time and resources. Participants agreed to CLL with high acceptability.Conclusions: Some recommendations for urgent needed future studies were provided. The CLL measurement of fLLD is applica-ble for monitoring treatment effects and also an affordable tool for most of manual therapy practices.

Background: Spine shape parameters, such as leg length and kyphotic or lordotic angle, are influenced by low back pain. There is also evidence that the thoracolumbar fascia plays a role in such pathologies. This study examined the immediate effects of a myofascial release (MFR) technique on the thoracolumbar fascia and of an osteopathic treatment (OMT) on postural parameters in patients with acute low back pain (aLBP). Methods: This study was a single-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial. Seventy-one subjects (43.8 ± 10.5 years) suffering from aLBP were randomly and blindedly assigned to three groups to be treated with MFR, OMT, or a placebo intervention. Spinal shape parameters (functional leg length discrepancy (fLLD), kyphotic angle, and lordotic angle) were measured before and after the intervention using video raster stereography. Results: Within the MFR group, fLLD reduced by 5.2 mm, p < 0.001 and kyphotic angle by 8.2 degrees, p < 0.001. Within the OMT group, fLLD reduced by 4.5 mm, p < 0.001, and kyphotic angle by 8.4°, p = 0.007. Conclusion: MFR and OMT have an influence on fLLD and the kyphotic angle in aLBP patients. The interventions could have a regulating effect on the impaired neuromotor control of the lumbar muscles.
