The Effect(s) of a Six-Week Home-Based Exercise Program on the Respiratory Muscle and Functional Status in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Abstract

A home-based exercise program can have an effect on some measures respiratory muscle and functional status. Greater emphasis should be placed on maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness as well as spinal mobility to encourage patients with AS.
