The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of 12-week Baduanjin qigong exercises in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. 59 volunteer individuals, ages 18-64, will be included in the study. They will be randomly divided into two groups (the intervention and the control). The intervention group will perform a qigong exercise program online (via Zoom video conference) for 12 weeks under the supervision of two physiotherapists. The qigong exercise program had previously been videotaped by the researchers. The control group will perform the home exercise program at home for 12 weeks.
