Physical Activity Through Health Technology in Axial Spondyloarthritis

9. juni 2026 opdateret af: Rachael Stovall, University of Washington

Expanding Access to Early Exercise Prescriptions for Underserved Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Digital Health Approach

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a mobile app called the ExerciseRx app is a practical and helpful way for people with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) to receive exercise recommendations as part of their regular rheumatology care.

Researchers want to learn:

Whether people with axSpA find the ExerciseRx app easy to use and helpful for supporting regular exercise.

Whether using the ExerciseRx app leads to improvements in symptoms, physical function, and disease activity compared with usual care.

Participants assigned to the ExerciseRx group will use the app to complete guided exercises for 20-30 minutes, four times per week. They will also receive personalized weekly step-count goals to help increase their physical activity. Researchers will compare outcomes between participants using the app and those receiving usual care.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: ExerciseRx app
the ExerciseRx app with personalized exercise recommendations, an educational handout, Fitbit-guided step goals, and physical therapy referral
Patients complete home exercise sessions given via the ExerciseRx app over 20-30 minutes 4 times per week for 12 weeks and receive daily step count goals. Patients also receive a FitBit to wear continuously throughout the study, and are given access to view their step counts via the ExerciseRx app, and receive an educational handout with exercises for axial spondyloarthritis.
Aktiv komparator: Usual care
An educational handout, Fitbit monitoring without step goals, and physical therapy referral
Patients receive recommendations from their physicians to continue their usual physical activity as tolerated, receive a FitBit to wear continuously throughout the study, with the ExerciseRx app locked to the baseline home screen, and receive an educational handout with exercises for axial spondyloarthritis.

Hvad måler undersøgelsen?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Average minutes of physical activity/exercise during the week and % of participants with adherence to 60% or higher of the recommended exercises
Tidsramme: Week 0 (baseline), 6 and 12
We will measure feasibility by adherence to the recommended exercises in the intervention arm, including any additional reported physical activity throughout each week. In the usual care arm, participants will report any physical therapy exercises completed from the handout, as well as other physical activity/exercise. Adherence will be measured using the modified Short QUestionnaire to ASsess Health-enhancing physical activity (mSQUASH), a validated tool for capturing physical activity in axSpA. For those in the intervention arm, adherence will also be captured via the built-in tracking features of the ExerciseRx app, providing an additional measure of feasibility. Adherence or engagement with the ExerciseRx app will be measured in three domains: frequency of app use, adherence to recommended exercises, and interaction with behavioral features.
Week 0 (baseline), 6 and 12
Acceptability of the ExeriseRx app as a platform to complete recommended exercises for axial spondyloarthritis including % of participants with average score above 5 on MAUQ indicating usability
Tidsramme: Weeks 6 and 12
We will measure acceptability using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). Scores range from 1 to 7 with scores above 5 on a 7-point Likert scale considered to show usability.
Weeks 6 and 12

Tidsramme
Change in disease activity over 12 weeks
Tidsramme: Weeks 0 (baseline), 6, and 12
We will measure changes in disease activity over the course of the study with Bath Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), a validated measure in axSpA. BASDAI ranges from 0-10 with 0 indicating remission and 10 indicated very high disease activity.
Weeks 0 (baseline), 6, and 12
Change in functional status
Tidsramme: Weeks 0 (baseline), 6, and 12
We will measure changes in functional status over the course of the study via the Bath Axial Spondyloarthritis Functional Index (BASFI), a validated measure in axSpA. BASFI ranges from 0-10 with 0 indicating full function and 10 indicating severe functional impairment.
