MIHA Combined Exercise Programs

An algometer will be used to measure pain levels. We have identified three muscle groups for the algometer: Gluteus Medius, Erector Spinae, and Quadratus Lumborum. A low level indicates greater sensitivity and weakness.

Quality of life will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index. It is used to evaluate the effect of the MAT Pilates and EMS-assisted exercise programs applied in the study on daily living activities. The lower the total score, the less the disability.The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum disability), with higher scores reflecting increased functional impairment.

Individuals' anxiety levels are assessed using the Beck Anxiety Scale. This assessment aims to compare individuals' anxiety levels before and after intervention. A high score on the Beck Anxiety Scale indicates a higher level of anxiety. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is scored from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater levels of anxiety.

: Individual endurance is assessed using three movements: the Plank, Bridge Movement, and V-Sit position. These selected movements target the anterior, posterior, and lateral core muscle groups, enabling an assessment of overall endurance.
