Spondylitis, Ankylosing Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Study Investigating an Exercise and Education Programme for Individuals With Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) is a chronic, inflammatory, rheumatic disease (Khan, 2002). AS is
associated with increased work disability and use of healthcare resources (Ward et al,
2008). Evidence suggests that group exercise is the most effective form of physiotherapy
management for individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis (Dagfinrud et al, 2008). To date, no
research has been published in relation to short, intensive group exercise programmes.
This study aims to investigate the effects of a five day exercise and education programme
for individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Effects of the programme on disease activity,
function and spinal mobility will be measured using using validated quantitative measures;
the overall value of the programme for patients will be explored by means of semi-structured
interviews.
Patients with a diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis are referred to the 5-day exercise and
education programme by consultant rheumatologists at the Mater Misericordiae University
Hospital. All patients referred to the programmes beginning 06/24/2008 and 08/25/2008 will
be invited to participate.
Participants scoring 0-6 on the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index are classified
as low disease severity level and are allocated to Group 1; participants with a score of
6.1-10 are classified as higher disease severity and allocated to Group 2. Group 1 has two
hydrotherapy classes, a gym-based exercise class and an education session daily. Group 2 has
one hydrotherapy class, a gym-based exercise class and an education session daily. Exercise
sessions are 1 hour in duration and are given by staff physiotherapists. Education sessions
are 1 hour in duration and are given by senior members of the rheumatology
multi-disciplinary team at the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital.
Outcome will be assessed upon entry to the study (pre-intervention), at 5 days
(post-intervention) and at 4 weeks (follow-up). A semi structured interview will be carried
out with each participant immediately post-intervention to explore the overall value of the
group programme for participants.
