Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of immersive movement observation in adult patients with haemophilic ankle arthropathy.
Design: Multicentre, single-blind, randomized clinical trial.
Subjects: 48 patients with haemophilia.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of an immersive movement visualization intervention in patients with hemophilia and hemophilic knee arthropathy.
Materials And Methods: Randomized, single-blind clinical study. Twenty-eight patients with hemophilia were recruited.
(1) Background: Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder characterized by hemarthrosis. Prophylaxis is the gold standard for bleeding prevention. Extended half-life (EHL) recombinant FVIII replacement products have shown to be associated with low bleeding rates.

Patients with hemophilic arthropathy present joint damage, reduced range of motion, and decreased strength and functional capacity. Myofascial release therapy aims to decrease pain and improve tissue mobility and functionality.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of self-induced myofascial release in patients with hemophilic knee arthropathy.
(1) Background: Hemophilia is characterized by recurrent hemarthrosis leading to degenerative arthropathy. The aim was to evaluate the differences in muscle strength and activity and the pressure pain threshold between patients with knee arthropathy and their healthy peers; (2) Methods: A case-control study in which 23 adult patients with knee arthropathy and 24 healthy peers matched in terms of characteristics were recruited. The study variables were quadriceps muscle strength, muscle activation and the pressure pain threshold; (3) Results: There were significant differences between the two groups in quadriceps strength on the dominant (CI95%: 64.

Background: The hamstring muscles have a great tendency to decrease their extensibility, a phenomenon that presents a distinct clinical entity called short hamstring syndrome (SHS), in addition to problems with adjacent structures.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of lumbar fascia stretching on the flexibility of the hamstring musculature.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out.
Background: Hemophilic ankle arthropathy is manifested by degenerative functional alterations (reduced muscle strength, mobility, and proprioception) and chronic pain. Myofascial release techniques are used to treat soft tissue adhesions, relieve pain, and reduce tissue sensitivity. The aim was to evaluate the safety of self-induced myofascial release in patients with hemophilic ankle arthropathy and to assess possible changes in musculoskeletal variables.
View Article and Find Full Text PDF(1) Background: Hemarthrosis is a typical clinical manifestation in patients with hemophilia. Its recurrence causes hemophilic arthropathy, characterized by chronic joint pain. Watching movement recorded from a first-person perspective and immersively can be effective in the management of chronic pain.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHemophilia is a congenital coagulopathy characterized by a deficiency of one of the clotting factors. It is characterized by the development of hematomas and hemarthrosis, either spontaneously or after minor trauma. The recurrence of hemarthroses leads to progressive and degenerative joint damage from childhood (hemophilic arthropathy).

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of 180-degree immersive VR motion visualization therapy in patients with haemophilic ankle arthropathy.
Background: Prophylactic treatment is the gold standard in the treatment of patients with haemophilia. Prophylaxis with extended half-life (EHL) treatment has shown long-term safety and efficacy in patients with haemophilia.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of prophylaxis with EHL treatment in the frequency of haemarthrosis and musculoskeletal health in adult patients with severe haemophilia A.
Background: Haemophilic knee arthropathy presents functional and structural alterations and chronic pain. Self-induced myofascial release aims to treat fascial restrictions and improve functionality.
Aim: This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of a self-induced myofascial release protocol in patients with haemophilic knee arthropathy.
(1) Background. The lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically decreased levels of physical activity in the population. Hemophilia is characterized by hemarthrosis that leads to chronic, progressive and degenerative joint deterioration.

Background: Hemophilic arthropathy is characterized by loss of function and range motion. Fascial therapy mobilizes the connective tissue, intervening in the state of the injured fascial complex.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a fascial therapy treatment in patients with hemophilic ankle arthropathy.
Hemophilic arthropathy is characterized by loss of function and chronic pain. Fascial therapy mobilizes the connective tissue and is thus involved in the condition of the injured fascial complex and the surrounding tissues. To evaluate the safety of a physiotherapy program using fascial therapy in patients with hemophilic elbow arthropathy.
