No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pilates and core stability exercises have emerged as potential interventions for Fibromyalgia (FM) , both targeting muscle strength, flexibility, and posture. However, existing studies have primarily relied on subjective self-report measures to assess outcomes. This study aims to employ more objective assessments, including biomechanical and functional measures, to compare the efficacy of core stability exercises and Pilates in improving symptoms of FM.

Conditions

  • Fibromyositis-Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Core Stability Exercises

Participants will engage in core stability exercises targeting the muscles of the trunk and pelvis, such as pelvic tilting, abdominal crunches, back extension, side bridges, and bird dog. These exercises will be performed twice a week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting 30 minutes. The intensity will be progressively increased based on individual tolerance.

OTHER

Participants will undergo Pilates sessions that emphasize flexibility, posture, and core engagement. Pilates exercises will be performed twice a week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting 30 minutes. The focus will be on breathing, spinal alignment, and strengthening exercises that challenge flexibility and balance.
