Objective:This study aimed to evaluate postural awareness and changes in posture and flexibility of students who took Clinical Pilates class as an elective course at the undergraduate level.Methods:The study conducted from 2013-2016 included 98 students who took Clinical Pilates class at the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, School of Health Sciences, Istanbul Medipol University, Turkey. The flexibility levels of the study participants were measured before and after the Clinical Pilates education using finger-to-floor test and modified Schober’s test. Observational posture analysis and postural awareness were recorded using the scale prepared by the researchers.Results:The post-education evaluations showed that postural distortions were fixed, and a significant increase in the postural awareness of the students was observed compared with the pre-education period. The results of both modified Schober’s test and finger-to-floor test, which were used to measure the flexibility levels, showed a statistically significant increase in post-education scores compared with those of the pre-education period.Conclusion:This study showed that the Clinical Pilates course increased postural awareness and flexibility of physical therapy students and fixed postural distortions. Thus, the inclusion of Clinical Pilates class in the undergraduate education is considered to be important.

“…Os estudos de forma geral mostraram efeitos positivos para o MP em pacientes com dor lombar crônica não especifica. Os principais benefícios do método apontados pelos estudos foram principalmente sobre o alivio da dor (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2018;CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2015;MACHADO et al, 2017;MIYAMOTO et al, 2018;NATOUR et al, 2015;VALENZA et al, 2017), a maior na capacidade funcional (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2018;CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2015;KOFOTOLIS et al, 2016;MACHADO et al, 2017;MIYAMOTO et al, 2018;NATOUR et al, 2015;VALENZA et al, 2017) principalmente em pessoas idosas, aumento da flexibilidade e mobilidade (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2015;MACHADO et al, 2017;VALENZA et al, 2017), melhora no equilíbrio corporal (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2015;LOPES et al, 2017;VALENZA et al, 2017), aumento da qualidade de vida (KOFOTOLIS et al, 2016;NATOUR et al, 2015), maior resistência muscular (MACHADO et al, 2017), e redução da cinesiofobia (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2018) (tabela1). Sobre os estudos selecionados para a pesquisa, a maioria realizou ensaios clínicos randomizados (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2018;KOFOTOLIS et al, 2016;MIYAMOTO et al, 2018;MOSTAGI et al, 2015;NATOUR et al, 2015;VALENZA et al, 2017), dois ensaio controlado aleatório único e cego (CRUZ-DÍAZ et al, 2015;LOPES et al, 2017) apenas um estudo de coorte prospectivo observacional (MACHADO et al, 2017).…”

Atualmente a dor lombar crônica acomete grande parte da população mundial, a procura pela reabilitação através do Método Pilates (MP) tem aumentado progressivamete. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre os efeitos e benefícios do MP na reabilitação da dor lombar crônica inespecífica. Métodos: As bases de dados utilizadas foram Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (BIREME) e Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), foram aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, após a aplicação destes, foram analisados 9 estudos. Resultados: O presente estudo mostrou que um programa de Pilates para a dor lombar crônica inespecífica repercute positivamente, trazendo como benefícios a diminuição da dor e da incapacidade funcional, bem como aumento da flexibilidade e força muscular. Além disso, melhora a qualidade de vida e diminui o medo de praticar exercício físico. Conclusão: O MP é amplamente utilizado, seus principais benefícios são: diminuição da dor; aumento da capacidade funcional; e melhora da qualidade de vida.

“…The results showed that Pilates was effective for the reduction of pain and disability in individuals with non-specific LBP corroborating with similar results found in the literature 7,30,31 . Kofotolis, Kellis, Vlachopoulos, Gouitas, Theodorakis 32 reported that Pilates was more effective than trunk strengthening in increasing the quality of life and decreasing the functional disabilities after an 8-week protocol and the effects were retained for a three-month follow-up 32 . Studies that evaluated the effectiveness of a Pilates protocol compared to general exercises or self-management for eight weeks concluded that the method was more effective in reducing pain, disability, flexibility and balance in individuals with chronic LBP 21,22 .…”

-Aims:The aim of this study was to verify the influence of Pilates on muscle activation of lumbar multifidus (LM) and transversus abdominis/internal oblique muscles (TrA/IO) in individuals with nonspecific low back pain. Methods: Twelve individuals of both sexes with non-specific low back pain were evaluated before and after a twomonth Pilates program in relation to electromyographic activity of LM and TrA/IO, as well as clinical aspects such as pain, flexibility, muscular endurance, quality of life; and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (in relation to physical and work-related activities. A statistical analysis was performed using a test for independent samples and significance was established at the level of 0.05. Results: After eight weeks of Pilates training, there was an improvement in the clinical parameters of pain, flexibility, muscular endurance and disability. The individuals presented lower LM activation (p=0.025), higher trunk extension strength (p=0.005) and an increase in time from onset to peak muscle activation (p=0.02). Conclusion: Pilates protocol was effective for clinical improvement and motor behavior in patients with nonspecific low back pain and the parameters assessed showed a large effect size despite the small sample.
