Brief summary (from the registry)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a Pilates exercise program (PEP) on the flexo-relaxation ratio (FRR) of the erector spinae (ES) muscle during standing maximal trunk flexion/extension in women with chronic low-back pain (LBP). A secondary goal is to investigate the effect of PEP on full trunk flexion ROM (TFRoM), pain intensity and functional capacity and analyse their relationship with the FRR.
