Abstract

Background: Pilates method is prescribed for rehabilitation of patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP). However, the effect of this training on trunk muscles activation is unknown. Objective: To analyze the acute effect of Pilates method on trunk muscles activation in subjects with and without LBP. Methods: Participated of the study 18 people, separated into two groups: group with LBP and without LBP. In the first day of data collection were recorded: personal data, anthropometrics measures and familiarization was performed. In the second day of data collection were performed the tests: test of arm elevation, Biering-Sorensen, exercises and reassessment. Electromyographic signal of internal oblique, multifidus, iliocostalis lumborum, and rectus abdominal were recorded. Results: The muscles iliocostalis lumborum had higher activation (p=0,016) during Biering-Sorensen test in LBP, while internal oblique had lower activation (p=0,031) after the training in LBP. Conclusion: A single session of Pilates method was able to generate change on trunk muscles recruitment pattern in people with LBP.
