About this trial
This study is a prospective blind contrast between periscapular muscle thickness measured with MSUS in patients with early AS in comparison to patients with mechanical dyskinesis and to correlate it with EMG findings.

Inclusion criterion for the second group (non-AS individuals) was patients complaining of discomfort upon activity.
Disqualifiers
