Clinical Trial Summary

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) refers to a group of rheumatic diseases with common clinical, genetic, and imaging features. In addition to the pain caused by sacroiliitis and spondylitis, which are the main complaints, patients often experience joint stiffness, fatigue, mood disorders, and various degrees of functional limitations, and their quality of life can be significantly affected. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic reduces the level of physical activity in this patient group and negatively affects individuals psychologically. For this reason, telerehabilitation has come to the fore all over the world and rheumatology associations have also recommended these services. Although there is consensus about the positive effects of exercise in SpA, no exercise regimen has been shown to be superior to the other. There is no study examining the effects of exercise training applied with telerehabilitation on individuals with SpA. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of telerehabilitation and face-to-face and home-based spinal stabilization exercise training in individuals with SpA. Volunteers meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into 3 groups: 'telerehabilitation training group', 'face-to-face training group' and 'home-based training group'. The individualized rehabilitation program will be applied to each group for 1 hour, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. Patient-reported scales assessing patients' disease activity, functionality, mood, physical activity, quality of life, fear-avoidance, central sensitization levels, and perceptions of the disease will be administered to individuals at baseline, after the 8-week rehabilitation program, and 6 months after the second evaluation.
