Telerehabilitation Versus Supervised Pilates Training in Lipedema Women

Conditions: Lipedema

Sex: Female
Ages: 35 Years – 45 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 60
Sponsor: Cairo University

Location: Faculty of physical therapy Cairo Egypt

Summary

1. Pilates Exercise: The Pilates method is a low-intensity form of movement based on body control, which works the body in a complete way, promoting physical and mental health. PET is different when compared to traditional exercises, which, in turn, tend to isolate the working muscles and have specific training approaches using repetitive motions. 2. Telerehabilitation: Telehealth is emerging as a key method for delivering essential healthcare. Primary care research suggests that telehealth is acceptable and has potential to overcome geographical barriers for individuals needing many times rehabilitation by eliminating the need for extensive and costly travel 3. Diet approach: A customized low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) restricted caloric diet in women with lipedema will be used for 12 weeks. The LCHF diet may be a valuable nutritional strategy for lipedema and overweight/obese women, reducing inflammatory status with a beneficial effect on weight, glucose profile the concentration of triglycerides and HDL
