Article Synopsis
- Spondyloarthritides (SpAs) are rheumatic diseases causing lower back pain and limited mobility, and access to physiotherapy is often a barrier to effective treatment.
- A study compared the digital health application ViViRA with standard physiotherapy among SpAs patients, assessing pain, quality of life, and mobility over 12 weeks.
- Results showed that the ViViRA group had better mobility improvements and lower pain intensity compared to the control group, indicating that digital health applications may be more effective than traditional physiotherapy for treating lower back pain in these patients.
