Brief summary: Exercise is a core treatment method in the management of Axial Spondyloarthritis. Clinical guidelines recommend a combination of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches to reduce disease activity and symptoms and improve physical function. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the provision of healthcare services remotely and the digitalization of rehabilitation services. Telerehabilitation methods provide advantages in terms of transportation, prevention of infections that may occur due to suppression of immunity with drugs, and continuity of treatment in patients with axial spondyloarthritis. In this context, it is important to evaluate the effects of remote physiotherapy and rehabilitation delivery in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases. This study, which will examine the effects of telerehabilitation in the disease management processes of individuals with axial spondyloarthritis, is thought to shed light on future studies.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation or pre-recorded video-based core exercise program on core endurance, disease activity and physical function in subjects with axial spondyloarthritis.
