Patients seem to be equally satisfied with either of the follow-up regimes. The PT-led follow-up did not seem to affect the patients' course of disease negatively. The results indicate that it would be safe to implement a PT-led clinic for patients with SpA in specialist health services, but longer-term follow-up is necessary to support the findings of this study.
