Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic and inflammatory rheumatic disease characterized by pain, structural and functional impairments, and reduced mobility and potential deformity of the axial skeleton. Treatment of axSpA includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. However, in the biologic era, unmet needs still remain for patients intolerant to or non-responders to biologic drugs and despite the development of new treatments, physical therapy and rehabilitation are of crucial importance in the management of axSpA patients. The aim of this manuscript is to review the current evidence on the assessment, physical therapy, and rehabilitation in axSpA patients.
中轴型脊柱关节炎（axSpA）是一种慢性炎症性风湿性疾病，其特征为疼痛、结构和功能受损，以及中轴骨骼的活动能力下降和潜在畸形。axSpA的治疗包括药物治疗和非药物治疗。然而，在生物制剂时代，对于不耐受生物制剂或对生物制剂无反应的患者，仍存在未满足的需求，并且尽管有了新的治疗方法，但物理治疗和康复在axSpA患者的管理中仍至关重要。本文的目的是综述目前关于axSpA患者评估、物理治疗和康复的证据。
