Laureate 2018 of the Fund for scientific research on Rheumatology managed by the King Baudouin Foundation: Thijs Swinnen (KU Leuven)

Title of the project: Show us what you can - final validation of instrumented assessments of functioning in patients with axial spondyloarthritis

Project description: The assessment of functioning is considered key in the management of axial spondyloarthritis.

Today, self-reported instruments are widely adopted but suffer from reporting bias and floor effects over time. Recently, both an instrumented tool using a wearable sensor and a video-based questionnaire to assess activity capacity was introduced by our group with promising results on reliability and validity. However, a final validation of these instruments is urgently needed to improve daily care.
