MODERN APPROACHES TO DETERMINING THE FUNCTIONAL STATE AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS, APPLICABLE IN KINESITHERAPY PRACTICE
Abstract
The functional suitability and quality of life in ankylosing spondylitis are key indicators that determine the patient's need for care and affect his consent to the therapy and his satisfaction with treatment. In last years, the trend of assessment based on the patient's perception of his health problems plus the expert opinion of the specialist in the field has been established. Currently, assessment of functional status and quality of life are more and more used in kinesitherapy practice because they collect the necessary information about the patient's condition and assist in the development of a specialized kinesitherapy program.The quality of life as defined by the WHO is “the individual's perception of his place in life, in thecontext of the cultural and value system in which he lives and in relation to his goals, expectations, standards and interests. It is a broad concept, influenced in a complex way by a person's physical health, his psychological state, his degree of independence, social contacts and their interrelation with the characteristic features of the environment”.

An author should not normally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in multiple journals or publication venues. Such redundant publication is generally considered to constitute unethical publishing behavior, and if discovered may result in a manuscript under consideration being rejected, or a published article being retracted.
Authors of manuscripts reporting on original research should present an accurate account of the work performed, accompanied by an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. The fabrication of results and the making of fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and may be cause for rejection or retraction of a manuscript or published article.
