Zusammenfassung

Die axiale Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) ist eine chronische rheumatische Erkrankung, die auf Grund von entzündlichen Prozessen und strukturellen Veränderungen im Achsenskelett zu erheblichen Einschränkungen der körperlichen Funktionsfähigkeit und der Beweglichkeit der Betroffenen führen kann. Neben der medikamentösen Therapie spielt regelmäßige körperliche Aktivität eine zentrale Rolle im Management der axSpA. Verschiedene Messmethoden wie der BASFI oder der BASMI werden eingesetzt, um die körperliche Funktionsfähigkeit und Beweglichkeit zu evaluieren. Leistungstests und moderne Technologien wie Tracker oder elektronische Messmethoden bieten neue Ansätze zur objektiven und präzisen Erfassung von körperlicher Aktivität und Bewegungsausmaß. Dieser Übersichtsartikel beleuchtet die Bedeutung körperlicher Aktivität, aktueller Messmethoden und innovativer Ansätze für die Behandlung von Patienten mit axSpA.

Abstract

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic rheumatic disease characterised by inflammation and structural changes to the axial skeleton, leading to significant impairments in physical function and mobility. In addition to pharmacological therapies, regular physical activity plays a pivotal role in managing axSpA. Various assessment methods such as BASFI or BASMI are used to evaluate physical function and mobility. Performance-based tests and modern technologies like trackers or electronic measurement methods offer new approaches for objective and precise assessment of physical activity and range of motion. This review highlights the importance of physical activity, current assessment methods, and innovative approaches for the treatment of patients with axSpA.
