Postural Control and Balance in Ankylosing Spondylitis

open access: yesMedicine Science | International Medical Journal, 2015
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by inflammatory back pain and the formation of syndesmophytes which lead to ankylosis. Postural deviation in AS patients is caused by increased thoracic kyphosis and hip flexion which then causes the centre of body weight to shift anteriorally. As a compensation mechanism, knee
