This tool will be useful for all people with all bleeding disorders, not just PwH.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic pain affects a significant percentage (30-71%) of individuals with haemophilia, making effective management strategies important, and this study aimed to evaluate a telerehabilitation exercise intervention for those living with chronic pain.
