You can back up your data to a secure cloud for use on multiple devices, but the app is fully functional offline as well.AS Symptom Tracker was developed independently by a group consisting of an AS sufferer, a computer programmer, a rheumatologist and a data scientist. We will never analyze or share your data without your permission, but we are interested in helping AS by contributing to research in the future. This is an area under development but pending financial support. If you share our vision to improve care of AS, please ask your local AS charity to support us or pledge a donation, so we can maintain, update and improve the app. We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Occasionally other joints such as the shoulders or hips are involved. Eye and bowel problems may also occur.Back pain is a characteristic symptom of AS, and it often comes and goes. Stiffness of the affected joints generally worsens over time.

Although the cause of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. More than 90% of those affected have a specific human leukocyte antigen known as the HLA-B27 antigen. The underlying mechanism is believed to be autoimmune or autoinflammatory.Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms with support from medical imaging and blood tests. AS is a type of seronegative spondyloarthropathy, meaning that tests show no presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) antibodies.It is also within a broader category known as axial spondyloarthritis.

There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis.Treatments may improve symptoms and prevent worsening.This may include medication, exercise, and surgery. Medications used include NSAIDs, steroids, DMARDs such as sulfasalazine, and biologic agents such as infliximab.

Between 0.1% and 1.8% of people are affected.Onset is typically in young adults.Males are more often affected than females. The condition was first fully described in the late 1600s by Bernard Connor, but skeletons with ankylosing spondylitis are found in Egyptian mummies.The word is from Greek ankylos meaning stiffening, spondylos meaning vertebra, and -itis meaning inflammation.
