“…According to ASAS, physical exercise is still regarded as a non-pharmacological treatment not only for AS [ 15 ] but for other rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases [ 38 , 39 ]. According to the ACR-SPARTAN-SAA AxSpA Guidelines, supervised exercise interventions are highly recommended compared to passive physical therapy interventions, such as massage or heat, for patients with AS and nr-axSpA [ 40 , 41 ]. However, a combination of biological therapy and physical activity has synergistic effects, while cardiovascular risk and pain are highly eliminated, and functional and respiratory capacity are improved in patients with axSpA [ 42 , 43 ].…”

The objective of the study was to examine the effects of Pilates exercise training combined with walking on cardiorespiratory fitness, functional capacity, and disease activity in patients with non-radiologically confirmed axial spondylitis (nr-axSpA). Thirty patients with nr-axSpA (seven women (90%), with a mean age of 46.07 ± 10.48 years old and C-reactive protein (CRP) 2.26 ± 2.14 mg/L) were randomly divided into two groups: A (n1 = 15 patients) and B (n2 = 15 patients). Group A followed a 6-month home-based Pilates exercise training program, while Group B remained untrained until the end of the study. A cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), timed up and go test (TUG), five times sit-to-stand test (5×STS), sit-and-reach test (SR), back scratch test for the right (BSR) and the left arm (BSL), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) were applied to all patients, both at the beginning and at the end of the study. After 6 months, Group A showed higher values in exercise time by 37.41% (p = 0.001), higher peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) by 25.41% (p = 0.01), a higher ratio between oxygen uptake and maximum heart rate (VO2/HRmax) by 14.83% (p = 0.04), and higher SR by 18.70% (p = 0.007), while lower values were observed in TUG by 24.32% (p = 0.001), 5×STS by 12.13% (p = 0.001), BASDAI score by 20.00% (p = 0.04) and ASDAS score by 23.41% (p = 0.03), compared to Group B. Furthermore, linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation in Group A between BASDAI and 5×STS (r = 0.584, p = 0.02), BASDAI and TUG (r = 0.538, p = 0.03), and ASDAS and 5×STS (r = 0.538, p = 0.03), while a negative correlation was found between BASDAI and VO2peak (r = −0.782, p < 0.001), ASDAS and SR (r = −0.548, p = 0.03), and ASDAS and VO2peak (r = −0.659, p = 0.008). To sum up, cardiorespiratory fitness, functional capacity, and disease activity improved after a long-term Pilates exercise training program in patients with nr-axSpA.

“…Maintaining overall health linked to enduring a chronic illness also hinges on effectively dealing with these conditions through multidisciplinary rehabilitation [5][6][7]. The rehabilitation objectives encompass pain management, joint preservation, sustaining function and mobility, and enabling active daily participation [8].…”

Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) have far-reaching impacts on individuals and society, marked by chronic pain and functional limitations. While early diagnosis and treatments enhance RMD prognosis, comprehensive management demands multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Goals include pain management, joint function preservation, mobility sustenance, and active participation facilitation. Interdisciplinary teams craft patient-specific rehabilitation plans. Rheumatologists must guide discussions on tailored rehabilitation strategies for RMDs, particularly osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and axial spondylarthritis, aligning with international guidelines. This review discusses evolving rehabilitation trends in rheumatic diseases, exploring challenges and opportunities for improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
