Comparative effect of mat pilates and egoscue exercises in asymptomatic individuals with lumbar hyperlordosis: A randomized controlled trial

Context: Correcting lumbar hyperlordosis, a main cause of back pain, will reduce the stress on the lumbar spine thereby preventing future problems in back and lower limb. Clinical trials are lacking where mat Pilates, Egoscue exercises and lumbar stabilization exercises are compared for their effect on spinal malalignment. Aims: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Pilates, Egoscue, and lumbar stabilization exercises for reducing hyperlordosis angle in asymptomatic individuals with lumbar hyperlordosis. Settings and Study Design: A randomized controlled trial conducted on volunteer participants from Health Science University of Belagavi. Materials and Methods: Asymptomatic individuals with lumbar hyperlordosis (n = 51) were randomly allocated to Pilates, Egoscue and Lumbar stabilization groups. Outcomes assessed were index of lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, and tolerance to exercise performance which was measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Results: There was significant reduction in the hyperlordosis score (P Conclusion: Pilates group and Egoscue group were equally effective and superior to lumbar stabilization group in correction of hyperlordosis. Further, ease of performance of exercise was rated high for Pilates than the Egoscue exercise. These exercises should be included by the clinicians in preventive or corrective rehabilitation towards spinal posture malalignments.

Comparing the Effect of Two Kinds of the Traditional and the NASM Corrcetive Exercises Training Protocols on the Correction of Hyperlordosis in Female Students

Introduction: The hyperlordosis is one of the most common disorders among girls and it has been cosidered to achieve an appropriate program to reduce lumbar lordosis, so the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two kinds of traditional and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) corrcetive exercises training protocols on the correction of hyperlordosis in female students. Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 400 students of 18 to 22 years old were selected randomly and were screened. At the end, 45 students that had more than a 30 degree lumbar lurdosis angle curve were selected. Then they were randomly divided into three groups: the traditional exercises, the NASM exercises a control group. The experimental groups attended for 8 weeks, 3 times a week and 60 minutes in each session. Data were analyzed by repeated measure ANOVA (P < 0.05). Results: Significant interactions were observed for 3 groups and tests (F(2, 42) = 43.3, P < 0.01). Contrasts revealed that ratings of lumbar lordisis decrease for NASM group (F(2, 42) = 95.2, P < 0.01, ES = 0.9) and traditional group (F(2, 42) = 17.2, P < 0.01, ES = 0.7) Were significantly higher than control group. Conclusion: It can be conclouded that the NASM corrcetive exercises training protocol was more effective in reducing the lumbar lordosis and it is recommended to clinicians, coaches, athletic trainers and other health related specialists to do this protocol for correcting the lumbar hyperlordosis.
