Objectives• List the benefits of Pilates• List the 6 principles of Pilates• List 3 Pilates exercises that can be performed
when rehabilitating a TKA• List 3 Pilates exercises that can be performed
when rehabilitating a THA• List 3 Pilates exercises that can be performed
when rehabilitating LBP
What is Pilates?
• Low-impact, complete body workout• Develops body awareness• Strengthens core muscles• Improves stability and support in the body.
History• Joseph Pilates• Germany 1880• Sickly child• Skilled gymnast, skier, boxer and wrestler• WWI he taught Mind and Body = Contrology• U.S. in 1926, New York Ballet• Pilates (1967)• Became popular with Hollywood
6 Pilates Principles
BreathingConcentration
CenteringControl
PrecisionFluidity of Movement
Breathing• Diaphragmatic• Improve efficiency of lung function and blood oxygenation• Increase mental focus• Improve ability to relax• Increase overall ribcage mobility• Encourage efficient exhalation• Assist posture, musculoskeletal function and movement
patterns
Concentration
• All moves should be done as conscious acts• Conducive environment• Calming mood• Soothing background music• Don’t let the mind wander, keep focused on the
movement
Centering
• Abdominals should contract before initiating any movement
• Exercises centered on “Powerhouse”• Use proper alignment and form
Control
• Mind and body control• Slow and controlled movements• Constant speed• No jerky or meaningless movements• Several muscle groups engaged
Precision
• Body Awareness• Appropriate placement of limbs• Correct alignment• Execute each exercise as best you can• “Honor every movement”
Fluidity of Movement
• Continuous motion• Smooth and slow movement• No jarring repetitions• Energy flows through body evenly• No beginning or end• Body constantly in motion during each
exercise/transition
Pilates and Rehabilitation• Start integrating this principles into your interventions
• Encourage patients to implement these with their HEP
• "The principles of Pilates are awesome for rehabilitation, but if they aren't used in conjunction with proper therapy techniques it could aggravate the injury.”
• Benefits of Pilates
Benefits of Pilates
• Core strength and good posture• Balance and Coordination• Mobility and learning to move efficiently• Joint flexibility and long lean muscles• Create an evenly conditioned body• Gentle but challenging as well as adaptable • Refreshing mind and body workout
Pilates Rehab for TKA and THA• More THA and TKAs are being performed
• Shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery
• Less invasive surgical techniques allow rapid rehabilitation
• Pre-op and rapid post-op rehab may improve patient’s balance and coordination as well as gait adaptations
• Proposed advantages of utilizing Pilates:• Maximizing pre-op function• Develop a pathway for return to outpatient exercise• Promote whole body approach to post-op rehab
Pilates for Rehab Purpose• 1. Introduce Pilates into orthopedic community as
a safe way to restore function
• 2. Describe an improved program suited to all levels of skill that can be continued as a long term maintenance program
• 3. Review a series of patients having completed the rehab programs at 1 year follow-up
• 4. Pilates can be a viable option for rehabilitation
Pilates Field Observation Facts38 Patients (30 Women, 8 Men)
THA• 22 Patients, average
age 46 years• Pre-Operative
Diagnoses:• 16 Osteoarthritis• 4 Osteonecrosis of
femoral head• 1 Hip Dysplasia• 1 Lupus Erythematous
TKA• 17 Patients, average
age 55 years• Preoperative
Diagnoses• 14 Osteoarthritis• 3 Inflammatory Arthritis
Exercise RegimenPre-Operative
Regimen
• Adapted to meet pt needs
• Pre-op exercise 3-4x/week for 1-2 hours
• Exercises recommended: Week 2-6 in Tables
Post-Operative Regimen
• Early post-op exercises should be modified and begin 2 weeks after hospital D/C
• 3-4x/week for a minimum of 1 hour
• Progression can occur according to pain levels, quality of movement and as the MD permits
• Pilates can be an enjoyable approach that can be molded into a maintenance program
Pilates Rehab Protocol for TKA
Pilates Rehab Protocol for THA
Pilates Field Observation Results
• 1 year follow-up by charts and phone calls• 25 Extremely Satisfied w/ outcome• 13 Satisfied w/ outcome• 73% of women continued after rehab• Advantages:• Pre-op exercises to improve function• Implement exercises into HEP• Adaptability of exercises for joint precautions and
restrictions
Chronic Low Back Pain• 70% of adults suffer from LBP at some point
• 90% of LBP cases seem to be non-specific
• 15% of people develop LBP and have persistent pain one year after initial episode
• Exercise therapy is one of the most common recommended treatments for chronic LBP
Clinical Pilates• Theory based exercise regimen founded on rationale of
improving segmental stability and functional movement
• Adapted from traditional Pilates by physiotherapists
• Described as an exercise based on the Pilates Method adapted for rehabilitation purposes
• Treatment for chronic LBP using Clinical Pilates have shown a reduction in pain and improvement in function compared to no tx, but no significant difference compared to other forms
Pilates and LBP Pilot Study• 15 Participants
• Skilled Clinical Pilates Exercise Program • Spring resistance used with Reformer• Strength, Endurance and Stability Exercises• 1 hour 2x/week for 6 weeks
• Home Exercise Program• Floor Exercises• 30 minutes 3x/week for 6 weeks• New HEP for 26 weeks after skilled intervention
LBP Exercises• Pelvic Tilt• Bridge with Pelvic Tilt• Chest Lift• Swan Prep• Child’s Pose• Kneeling Arm and Leg Reach• Cat/Cow• Spine Stretch• The Saw
LBP Pilot Study Outcome• Statistically significant improvement in all measures
from the start of the intervention to the 6 weeks
• No significant differences from 6 weeks to 26 week F/U, note pt adherence had gone down
• Findings indicate improved function and decreased pain levels maintained for 26 weeks
• Clinical Pilates can be equally effective as other stabilization exercises
