Physical Activity Tracking With Wearable Technology for Spine Arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a Fitbit activity tracker and using a Google Health app can help people with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of spine arthritis) become more physically active. The goal is to see if this technology-based approach motivates people to exercise more, which may help reduce pain and improve their condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
