In patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), pain, functional and structural impairments, reduced mobility and potential deformity of the axial skeleton are the most prominent health concerns. Limitations in physical function and spinal mobility are caused by both inflammation and structural damage, and therefore restrictions to physical function must be monitored throughout a patient's life. Consequently, the assessment of physical function is recommended as a key domain in the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society-OMERACT Core Outcome Set. However, in comparison with disease activity, physical function seems to be a relatively neglected target of intervention in patients with axSpA, even though physical function is a major contributor to costs and disability in this disease. This Review aims to reacquaint rheumatologists with the targets for physical function, physical activity and performance by giving guidance on determinants of physical function and how physical function can be examined in patients with axSpA.
