Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Spondyloarthritis is a name of a group of diseases that is included in a larger term 'arthritis'.[1][2][3][4] Inflammation can occur in spine, sacroiliac and peripheral joints as well near the attachments of tendons and ligaments.[3][4][5] This disease provokes to pain, stiffness and fatigue in back, legs and arms as in joints, ligaments and tendons.[3][6][7] Eruption, eye and intestinal problems may also occur.[1][3][4]
Spondyloarthritis in adults can be subdivided more specifically:[1][2][3][8][9][10][11]
- ankylosing spondylitis or Bechterew disease
- psoriatic arthritis[12]
- reactive arthritis[13]
- enteric arthritis
- undifferentiated arthritis

Characteristics/Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
It is characteristic of spondyloarthritis that pain, stiffness and fatigue occurred in back, legs and arms as in joints tendons and ligaments. It is difficult to describe the typical characteristics, mostly because it is a mix of diseases.
These diseases have a variety possible common characteristics.[2][6][7][9][12][14][15]
- inflammatory back pain
- osteoporosis
- spinal fractures
- peripheral arthritis, usually assymetric, relatively more in the lower limbs.([2][7])
- enthesitis
- dactylitis
- inflammation of the haert valve – pneumonia
- extraarticulaire disorders such as uveitis, skin porosiasis or inflammatory bowel disease
- strong familial aggregation of spondyloarthritis, psoriasis, IBD, uveitis
- association with HLA-B27
- no increased CRP and rheumatoid factor.
The symptoms vary depending on what type of spondyloarthritis the cause.[3][6][7][9][10][12] Disease progression and severity of symptoms vary greatly between individuals. The disease is subject to ups and downs.[10]

Medical Management
[edit | edit source]
There is a wide range of pharmacological remedies to reduce the symptoms of spondyloarthritis. For example, NSAIDs, DMARD'S, corticosteroids, antibiotics and TNF-alpha blockers, each with their own specific improvement.[3][7][11][12][13][16] Whit some patients, a surgical treatment is recommended but this the widespread complications of the disease severity must be considered.[3]
Physical Therapy Management
[edit | edit source]
Physiotherapy
Apart from a drug treatment, physiotherapy is recommended.[5][11][17]
Education, for the patient and the further course of the disease, is helpful.[6]
It is important to start the treatment early to avoid chronic symptoms and loss of function as much as possible.[5][18][17]
It is important for these patients to do daily special stretching and strengthening exercises to maintain the strength and mobility in the joints and reduce pain and stiffness.[3][17][19]
Special attention should be given to a good posture of the patient.[17]
