Summary

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of two Physiotherapy treatments: one with manual therapy using joint traction, passive muscle stretching, and isometric exercise, active resisted and proprioception exercises; and other treatment with educational sessions and home exercises to improve the ROM, muscle strength and proprioception in patients with haemophilia and arthropathy of the knee.

Conditions

  • Patients With Haemophilia

Interventions

OTHER

Manual Therapy

5 minutes. Thermotherapy shallow to 50 cm away from the knee. 15 minutes. Joint traction, grade I-II. Fixation of distal femur with cinch and manual fixation of proximal tibia. Patient in prone position and the traction is carried out in the submaximal ranges of flexion and extension. 10 minutes. Passive muscle stretching of quadriceps (within the limits of mobility), through compression muscle, passive muscle stretching and relaxation of muscle. 10 minutes. Isometric and resisted exercises of quadriceps, in submaximal ranges, of flexion and extension. 10 minutes. Proprioception exercises with unipodal support, with and without visual support, and posterior destabilization. 10 minutes. Local cryotherapy with ice pack.
