Thirty-one participants with axSpA (42% female, 54(SD 13) years old and
27.4(SD 5.3) kg/m2) and 31 participants without back
pain (65% female, 36(SD 10) years old and 25.9(3.7)
kg/m2). In the axSpA group, the validity of assessment
on cervical rotation, lumbar flexion, lumbar side flexion, shoulder
flexion, hip abduction, tragus-to-wall and thoracic kyphosis showed
significant moderate to strong correlation; in the non-back pain group,
the same measures showed significant correlation ranging from weak to
strong.
