Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Space-time parameters of walking (double step duration, double step length, cadence, number of steps, gait speed), ankle, knee and hip joint angles, walking distance (2 min walk test), physical activity (IPAQ), diagnosis | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Association of primary outcome measures with clinical routine and corresponding rheumatic disease (e.g. DAS-28, PSAID, RAID, MASES, BASMI, BASDAI, routine laboratory parameters, joint status) as well as patient well-being (e.g. SF-36, HAQ), physical activity-related health literacy (PAHCO), chronic pain of neuropathic origin (PainDetect) and fear of pain (TSK). In addition, past fractures, smoking status, menopausal status in women, medical history and dietary habits that could affect bone/cartilage health (injuries, medications, supplements). | — |
