Development of a Physiotherapist-Coordinated Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Intervention for People with Suspected Axial Spondyloarthritis: The SPINCODE Rehabilitation Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Background: People with early axial spondyloarthritis experience a diagnostic delay and a similar disease burden as people with axial spondyloarthritis at a later stage of the disease. In many European countries, patients with early axial spondyloarthritis do not have access to an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. The objective of this study was to develop a new evidence-based physiotherapist-coordinated interdisciplinary rehabilitation intervention for individuals suspected of axial spondyloarthritis. This development of the rehabilitation intervention is part of the SPINCODE project which focusses on early diagnosis and treatment for people with axial spondyloarthritis. Methods: The development of the intervention encompasses: (i) identifying the evidence base and prog
