Background: Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are often compromised by impaired function and mobility. The standardized 2-week inpatient program 'multimodal rheumatologic complex treatment' (MRCT) was designed for patients with axSpA. The Epionics SPINE (ES) is an objective tool validated to assess mobility.

Mobility of patients with axSpA is often impaired. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of patients with axSpA regarding mobility measures including performance-based tests and objective electronic assessments with the Epionics SPINE device (ES) at different times of the day compared with healthy controls (HC).

Many believe that such models will disrupt society and lead to significant changes in the education system and information generation. So far, this belief is based on either colloquial evidence or benchmarks from the owners of the models-both lack scientific rigor.

Results: Various gene annotation tools have been developed but each has its limitations.
Introduction: The course of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is often characterized by impairments in physical function and mobility. Regular physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of axSpA management. Recent European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for PA have stressed the importance of their implementation.
