Background: Improved treatment options for people with haemophilia (PWH) have increased the possibilities for sports participation, but the risk of sports-induced bleeding (SIB) is still considered considerable by many.
Aim: To assess sports associated injury- and bleeding risk in PWH and to assess clotting levels associated with safe sports participation.
Methods: Sports injuries and SIBs were prospectively collected for 12 months in PWH aged 6-49 without inhibitors playing sports at least once weekly.
Introduction: Predicting the risk of sports injuries and sports-induced bleeds (SIBs) in people with haemophilia (PWH) may support clinical counselling.
Aim: To assess the association between motor proficiency testing and sports injuries and SIBs and to identify a specific set of tests for predicting injury risk in PWH.
Methods: In a single centre, prospective study male PWH aged 6-49 playing sports ≥1x/week were tested for running speed and agility, balance, strength and endurance.
Background: Evaluating treatment of traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCIs) from the prehospital phase until postrehabilitation is crucial to improve outcomes of future TSCI patients.
Objective: To describe the flow of patients with TSCI through the prehospital, hospital, and rehabilitation settings and to relate treatment outcomes to emergency medical services (EMS) transport locations and surgery timing.
Method: Consecutive TSCI admissions to a level I trauma center (L1TC) in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively identified.
Introduction: Sports participation in children with hemophilia is generally considered to be associated with increased injury risk, which is generally considered highest in severe hemophilia.
Aim: To assess sports participation according to age and severity in children with hemophilia and its association with sports injuries.
Methods: In a retrospective single-center study, sports participation, injuries, and bleeding data from three consecutive annual clinic visits were collected for young patients with hemophilia (PWH, aged 6-18).
Objective: To investigate (1) changes in life satisfaction and mental health during 5 months of training for the HandbikeBattle and 4 months of follow-up; (2) associations between changes in handcycling cardiorespiratory fitness and changes in life satisfaction and mental health during the training period.
Design: This is a multicenter prospective cohort study with the following measurements: the start of the training (T1), after the 5-month training period, before the event (T2), and after 4 months of follow-up (T3). At T1, T2, and T3, questionnaires were filled out.
