Abstract:
Axial spondyloarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (axSpA/AS) involve painful and progressive chronic inflammation of the axial skeleton mainly affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. Exercise is one of the most important therapies that can improve physical and psychological well-being, as well as life quality for such patients. Regular, well-designed exercise is the key to effective rehabilitation. In this project, a working group comprising multidisciplinary physicians and patients used a questionnaire survey to identify the 9 most important considerations related with such exercise interventions according to the GRADE methods, and nine recommendations were developed.
