Brief Summary:
Uncertainty about how to treat existing hemophilic arthropathy (HA) is the most important issue that will increase functionality and joint health. Recent studies have shown that MT can be used safely for improving joint health, pain and ROM with no bleedings in PwH with elbow and ankle HA. Unlike MT studies in hemophilia, we investigated the effects of MT on important parameters such as muscle strength (MS), functional level, joint health, functional independence score in hemophilia (FISH) and kinesiophobia. These parameters are closely related to functional level and quality of life of PwH. Therefore, evaluation of these parameters and determining the effects of the MT on these parameters are very important for both PwH and also clinicians.
Detailed Description:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of manual therapy in addition to home exercise program on hemophilia functional independence level, joint health, kinesiophobia, functional level, range of motion, muscle strength and pain level in hemophilic individuals with lower extremity joint arthropathy. Hemophilic arthropathy was developed in at least one of the lower extremity joints and aged between 18-30 years 17 severe type hemophilic men were participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups as Home Exercise Group (HEG) and Manual Therapy Group (MTG) by randomization method. While the HEG was performed the exercise program at home, in addition to the same HEG manual therapy were applied to the MTG by the same physiotherapist 3 days a week for 1 hour. Both groups were followed for a total of 5 weeks and pre-treatment evaluations were repeated post-treatment. The joint health of the hemophilics in both groups were evaluated with Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), their kinesiophobia level were evaluated with Tampa Kinesophobia Scale, their functionality with the Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH). In addition, Functional Reach, Timed Up and Go and 5 Times Sit-to- Stand tests were used for functional level. The range of motion was evaluated with a goniometer, muscle strength was measured with a digital dynamometer and pain level was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Number of hemarthrosis decreased in both groups.
