[Purpose] This study was carried out to determine the effect of an exercise program on pelvic pain and posture associated with endometriosis. [Subjects and Methods] This study was designed as repeated measures design that compared one group of 20 patients (age range 26-32 years) diagnosed by laparoscope as having mild or moderate endometriosis before, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks of exercise program. The exercise program parameters were based on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines for exercise suitable for sedentary women. To assess the intensity of endometriosis pain, a present pain intensity scale was used. On the other hand, a raster stereography system was used to assess the posture. [Results] After 8 weeks of performing the exercise regimen, there was a statistically significant decrease in the patients' pain intensity and thoracic kyphosis angle program in compared with pre treatment. [Conclusion] Ultimately it was proven that eight weeks of an exercise program is very effective in decreasing pain and postural abnormalities associated with endometriosis.
[目的] 本研究旨在确定一项运动计划对与子宫内膜异位症相关的盆腔疼痛和姿势的影响。[对象与方法] 本研究设计为重复测量设计，比较了一组20例患者（年龄范围26 - 32岁），这些患者经腹腔镜诊断为轻度或中度子宫内膜异位症，在运动计划实施前、4周后和8周后进行评估。运动计划参数基于美国妇产科医师学会针对久坐女性的运动指南。为评估子宫内膜异位症疼痛的强度，使用了当前疼痛强度量表。另一方面，使用光栅立体摄影系统评估姿势。[结果] 在进行8周运动方案后，与治疗前相比，患者的疼痛强度和胸椎后凸角有统计学意义的降低。[结论] 最终证明，八周的运动计划在减轻与子宫内膜异位症相关的疼痛和姿势异常方面非常有效。
