The Effects of Progressive Clinical Pilates Exercises Applied as 2 Different Ways in Fibromyalgia

Age will be recorded as years

Height will be measured and recorded as centimeters (cm)

Weight will be measured and recorded as kilogram (kg)

McGill Endurance Test:

• Lateral Bridge Test: used to evaluate trunk lateral muscle endurance. The time will be measured and recorded with a stopwatch in seconds. The test will be repeated once for the right and left sides.
• Biering-Sorenson Test: It will be used to evaluate the static endurance of the back extensors.
• Trunk flexor test: It will be used to evaluate the muscle endurance of the trunk flexors.

Plank Test: It will be used to evaluate whole body muscle endurance. It has a high reliability of 95 %.

For each test, the time until the body position is disrupted will be measured with a stopwatch and recorded in seconds.

It will be used to evaluate lower extremity proximal muscle strength and endurance. The individual will sit in the middle of the chair with his back upright, his feet on the floor, and his arms crossed in front of his chest. By starting the time with a stopwatch, the individual will be asked to perform the full standing and sitting movement as many times as possible in 30 seconds and the number of full stands will be recorded.

It will be used to assess the functional capacity. At the end of the 6 minute, the distance walked will be recorded as meters (m).

It will be used to evaluate the effect of fatigue on functionality. In this scale, which evaluates individuals' fatigue level in the last week, the scores from the questions (1: strongly disagree, 7: strongly agree) will be summed and divided by the number of questions to calculate the total score. Scores of 4 and above indicate serious fatigue.

Habitual sleep efficiency, sleep duration, use of sleeping pills, daytime dysfunction, sleep latency, sleep quality and sleep disturbance in the last month will be evaluated.

The total score obtained from the index, which is scored between 0-3, varies between 0-21. A total score between 0 and 4 points indicates good sleep quality, while a total score between 5 and 21 points indicates poor sleep quality.

Limitations and functional disability in individuals will be evaluated with this survey. The questionnaire consists of 21 questions and each question is evaluated on a numerical scale between 0-10. An increase in the score obtained from the survey indicates that the loss of function due to fibromyalgia (FM) increases.

It consists of 2 parts including questions about physical activities and work. In the questionnaire evaluated with a 7-point Likert-type scale, physical activities are scored between 0-24, while work-related questions are scored between 0-36. A high score indicates that the individual has high fear avoidance beliefs.

It evaluates the degree of confidence in performing activities despite pain. It is a questionnaire that is practical due to its brevity (10 questions) and measures multiple domains of self-efficacy related to social and physical functions. It is a 7-point Likert-type scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.

Body image will be assessed with this questionnaire. It consists of 4 subgroups (prediction of body reactions, sleep-wake cycle, prediction at the beginning of the disease, and attention to changes and reactions in body processes). Participants will be asked to give points between 1 and 7 for each of the 18 statements. A high score means high body awareness.

This questionnaire which consists of 30 items, will be used to evaluate the biopsychosocial status of individuals. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale that can be scored between 0 (no/never) and 4 (yes/always). The higher the total score, the higher the individual's biopsychosocial situation is.

It will be used to assess the quality of life. It generally evaluates the perception of health, social and physical functions, vitality, mental health, role limitations due to physical and emotional distress, and body pain with a total of 36 items. Each title is calculated separately and scores are given between 0-100. A high score indicates good health and a low score indicates poor health.

To determine the treatment satisfaction level, the individual will be asked to mark between 0 (very dissatisfied) and 10 (extremely satisfied) on a 10 centimeter (cm) horizontal line. The distance between the marked location and point 0 was recorded in centimeter (cm).
