Back shape and spine damage in ankylosing spondylitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how the shape of your back relates to spine damage in people with ankylosing spondylitis. It uses a special 3D scanner to measure your back and compares it with your X-rays to see if the scanner can help track the disease.
