Assessment of Ankylosing Spondylitis

This section deals with the assessment of patients in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Two categories of measurements can be distinguished:

1)	self-assessments by patients (for example, BASFI, BASDAI);
2)	measurements performed by health care providers (for example, thoracic chest expansion, spinal mobility, Schober-test).
