Background: Chronic joint pain is a significant and widespread symptom in people with haemophilia (PWH). Despite medical advancements, effective pain management remains challenging.
Aim: This study presents an innovative approach that integrates remote physical exercises, pain neuroscience education, and coping strategies to address chronic pain in PWH.
Hemophilia is characterized by recurrent bleeding into the joints leading to irreversible chronic arthropathy with reduced joint range of motion (ROM), which may lead to changes in gait patterns. To analyze the gait pattern in a 35-year-old male with severe hemophilia A, three-dimensional biomechanical analysis was performed during overground walking. The control group data from a public gait dataset of 10 healthy male individuals were used for comparison.

Aim: In this study, we assessed the effects of aquatic activities performed to improve functional capacity in these patients.
Methods: The interventional protocol consisted of 24 hydrotherapy sessions during three months, in comparison with 24 swimming sessions.
