Thirty-one participants with axSpA (42% female, 54(SD 13) years old and 27.4(SD 5.3) kg/m2) and 31 participants without back pain (65% female, 36(SD 10) years old and 25.9(3.7) kg/m2). In the axSpA group, the validity of assessment on cervical rotation, lumbar flexion, lumbar side flexion, shoulder flexion, hip abduction, tragus-to-wall and thoracic kyphosis showed significant moderate to strong correlation; in the non-back pain group, the same measures showed significant correlation ranging from weak to strong.
