Summary

Mobility exercises are used in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) patients to preserve and restore axial mobility, but there are no data regarding a specific rehabilitation program that includes flexibility alone and its association with resistance exercises in AS patients with stable disease activity. So, we assessed the effects of two exercise programs in terms of mobility, functional capacity, quality of life and disease activity in AS patients. Methods. Fifty-five sedentary AS patients with a Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Activity Index (BASDAI) \<4 were included.
