ABSTRACT

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic infl ammatory disease from the group of spondylarthritis, characterized by damage to the predominantly axial skeleton, gradual formation of functional disorders of the spine and joints, leading to temporary or permanent disability and poor quality of life for patients, mostly young. In recent years, much attention has been paid to the study of the eff ectiveness of kinesitherapy in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Studies have been conducted that confi rmed the positive eff ect on the function of the spine and joints of regular exercises performed at home, regular group exercise and their combination with physiotherapy methods. However, due to the imperfect methodology of conducting these studies and the lack of a standardized approach in evaluating the eff ectiveness of therapy in these patients, further detailed researches are needed to select the required amount of kinesitherapy for patients with ankylosing spondylitis and develop a standardized assessment of its eff ectiveness.
