Brief Summary

Tragus-to-wall distance (TWD) measurements is a method to evaluate spinal mobility in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients and it also takes place in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI). Being obese or slim may affect TWD. As well as the person's losing or taking weight may lead wrong evaluations, in comparative studies, according to the height or weight uneven distribution of groups may affect the results. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the body shape affect TWD or not.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The assessment of the effects of having different weight and body shape on Tragus-Wall Measurement

    Volunteers between 18-65 ages who have no disorder that may disturb posture or erect position (inflammatory diseases, kyphosis, scoliosis, joint deformities) will be included into the study.Their height, weight, hip circumference and tragus-to-wall distance will be measured. The relationship between these measurements will be calculated
