What this Trial Is About
Exercise may be considered the gold standard for the management of mechanical and functional symptoms associated with patients having AS and they are considered as a safe and effective treatment for improving strength, spinal mobility, and physical fitness in general. However, there were no definite types or doses recommended over others. Additionally, poor posture is one of the consequences of AS due to pain, loss of flexibility, and muscular weakness which may also affect respiratory function. This faulty mechanical posture of the thoracic and cervical spine may affect the pulmonary function of these patients. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to investigate the efficacy of deep breathing exercises added to core stability exercises in the treatment of patients suffering from AS.
