A single centre, open label, pilot study evaluating the effect of intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection on pain and functionality when injected into the ankle (tibio-talar and sub-talar) joint in patients with haemophilic arthropathy.

Aims: Ankle arthropathy commonly affects persons with haemophilia (PWH). Joint damage causes loss of movement, pain and reduced function. Current treatments are limited.

Validity of the four-square step test in persons with haemophilia.

Introduction: Recurrent bleeds into joints causes arthropathy leading to pain and reduced joint movement. This may cause a reduction in postural balance and increase the falls risk in patients with haemophilia (PWH). With an ageing PWH population the need to assess functional balance in clinic will be essential to monitor function and implement interventions to help maintain balance and prevent falls.

Knee Arthroplasty Patients Predicted Versus Actual Recovery: What Are Their Expectations About Time of Recovery After Surgery and How Long Before They Can Do the Tasks They Want to Do?

Objectives: (1) To determine evidence-based guidance for the length of time to return to specific valued functional and leisure activities after knee arthroplasty (KA). (2) To determine what patients feel are the most important functional or leisure activities to recover after KA. (3) To collect information about patients' expectations and compare them to the actual time it takes to return.
