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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

treatment-naïve patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), who fulfilled the Assessment of Spondylarthritis Society (ASAS) criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA)

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

Disqualifiers

patients with a history of local trauma

and/or surgical intervention,

neuromascular deficits,

chronic chest disease and

Trial population
