Brief Summary: This study was designed to investigate and compare the effects of standard diaphragmatic breathing and physiotherapy exercises versus 360-degree expandable diaphragmatic breathing and physiotherapy exercises on respiratory functions respiratory muscle strength clinical course of the disease such as thoracic mobility flexibility and functional status in individuals with Ankylosing Spondylitis AS
Detailed Description: One of the primary problems in Ankylosing Spondylitis AS is decreased thoracic expansion For this reason breathing exercises especially thorax expansion should be included Moreover according to Pascal39s principle the pressure applied to a closed fluid must be transmitted to every part of the fluid and to the walls of the space in which it is located without decreasing 13 For this reason it is thought that the disrupted breathing pattern cannot be adequately corrected by standard diaphragm exercises in which the patient39s hand is placed on the abdomen and the anterior abdominal wall is pushed forwardoutward and the diaphragm descent to the caudal level during inspiration with 360-degree expansion of the thoraco-abdominal cavity may not be sufficient 14 The aims of this study are as follows

1 To examine and compare the effects of standard diaphragmatic breathing and physiotherapy exercises and 360-degree expanded diaphragm exercises and physiotherapy exercises on respiratory function in individuals with AS
2 To examine and compare the effects of standard diaphragmatic breathing and physiotherapy exercises 360-degree expanded diaphragm exercises and physiotherapy exercises on inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength in individuals with AS
3 To examine and compare the effects of standard diaphragmatic breathing and physiotherapy exercises 360-degree expanded diaphragm exercises and physiotherapy exercises on spinal mobility and the clinical course of the disease in individuals with AS
