About The Test

Have you experienced back pain for more than three months that tends to ease with physical activity and exercise? If so, consider taking this short, online screening test that was developed by physicians who are experts in rheumatology. The test is designed to help identify some of the symptoms that can be associated with a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a rheumatic (arthritic) disease that belongs to the group of conditions known as spondyloarthritis, and which causes inflammation of the spine. Although there is no cure as yet, once diagnosed AS can be successfully managed to reduce the stiffness and pain caused by the inflammation.
