Resumo(s)
Introdução: O Método de Pilates é amplamente utilizado como forma de intervenção em indivíduos com lombalgia para reduzir a dor e melhorar a funcionalidade, mas o seu efeito na melhoria da qualidade de vida carece de mais estudos. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos do Método de Pilates na dor, incapacidade funcional e qualidade de vida de pessoas com lombalgia crónica não específica. Metodologia: Estudo quasi-experimental com uma amostra de 18 participantes, de ambos os sexos, diagnosticados com lombalgia crónica não específica. Os participantes foram distribuídos convenientemente pelos grupos experimental (Fisioterapia e Pilates) e controlo (Fisioterapia). Ambos os grupos foram avaliados antes e após 15 sessões de tratamento. Resultados: Os exercícios de Pilates não evidenciaram melhorias na dor, incapacidade funcional e qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Os exercícios de Pilates adicionais às sessões fisioterapia não reduziram o nível de dor e de incapacidade funcional nem aumentaram a qualidade de vida de pessoas com lombalgia crónica inespecífica.
Introduction: The Pilates method is widely employed as a therapeutic intervention for individuals with low back pain to alleviate symptoms and enhance functional capacity. However, its impact on improving quality of life remains insufficiently studied. Aim: To evaluate the effects of the Pilates Method on pain, functional disability, and quality of life in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Methodology: This quasiexperimental study included a sample of 18 participants, of both sexes, diagnosed with non-specific chronic low back pain. Participants were conveniently assigned to either an experimental group (Physiotherapy combined with Pilates) or a control group (Physiotherapy only). Both groups underwent assessments before and after 15 treatment sessions. Results: The addition of Pilates exercises did not lead to significant improvements in pain levels, functional disability, or quality of life. Conclusion: Supplementing physiotherapy with Pilates exercises does not appear to provide additional benefits in terms of pain reduction, functional improvement, or enhancement of quality of life in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain.
