  2. THE CORRELATION BETWEEN DISEASE DURATION AND SYMPTOMS, TRADITIONAL EVALUATION METHODS IN ANKYLOSING SPONDILITIS PATIENTS

  3. To determine the relations between symptoms and traditional evaluation methods in ankylosing spondilitis (AS) patients who have disease duration less than ten years (group 1) and more than ten years (group 2). OBJECTIVE

  4. ●254 AS patients in 2003-2004 ●10 y  125 patients (Group 1) ●10 y  129 patients (Group 2) ●20 sessions ( 2 passive, 3 active ) METHODS

  5. ●Spinal mobility evaluation occiput-wall distance,schober test,cervical rotation,lumbar lateral flexion, intermalleolar distance and thorax expansion●ROM evaluationsgoniometric measurements●The number of shortness in muscles,morning stiffness, sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, muscle strength, walking distance● VAS

  6. -Seconder diseases (Neurological , cardiopulmonary or orthopaedical diseases e.g.)-Patients,who were unable to complete the therapy course.-Patients,taking additional therapy modalities to the conventional program(3 active,2 passive modalities) Exclusion Criterias

  7. FINDINGS ● Group 1 (69 male,56 female) 43.09±10.06● Group 2 (85 male,44 female) 58.33±17.26● Groups are compared (pre-treatment) Group 1  trunk,upper and lower extremities’ muscles’ force  (p<0.05).  Group 2  morning stiffness,sleep disturbance,chronic fatigue and pain (p<0.05) Group 2  intermalleolar distance,schober,lumbar lateral flexion and thorax expansion (p<0.05).

  9. Graphic 1.The Comparison Measuruments Of Intermalleolar Distance,Schober,Lumbar Lateral Flexion and Thorax Expansion In Two Groups (Pre-treatment)

  10. Positive correlation (p<0.05) Group 1 (Pre and post treatment)

  11. Middle level negative correlation (p<0.05) Group 1(Pre and post treatment)

  12. Table 2. The Correlation Between Lumbar Flexion Measurument And The Measuruments of Pain,Morning Stiffness And ChronicFatigue In Group 1 (Pre And Post Treatment)

  13. Middle correlation (p<0.05) Group 1(Pre and post treatment)

  14. Group 2  Disease related symptoms  (p<0.05) RESULTS Group 1  Spinal mobility  Trunk,upper and lower extremities muscle force  (p<0.05)

  15. Middle level negative correlation (p<0.05) Group 1-2 (Pre and post treatment)

  16. ●Disease related symptoms ●Spinal mobility ●Muscle force Negative effect

  17. CONCLUSIONS Kapidzik et al.(2002) claimed that disease duration has an influence on functional ability,pain ,radiographic progression of disease and the reduction of range of motion in ankylosing spondyliytis patients. Altin et al. (2001) suggested that affecting patients’ daily life and pulmonary involvement are common in early AS compared to late AS. Our study is claimed that spinal mobility,muscle force and symptoms deteriorate with disease duration in AS patients.
