Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a systemic disease, occurring mostly in young men. Its early symptoms mainly involve progressive pain of sacroiliac joints which may extend upward along the spine. Other common symptoms include nocturnal pain, morning stiffness, hyperhidrosis, and emaciation. As a response to the nocturnal pain and sleep deprivation, patients are often forced to keep the knee and hip in flexion and bend the back when sitting. The long-term impact leads to the development of ankylosing kyphotic deformity toward the late stage of the disease.
