Summary

This study was designed to assess the effect of an 8-week plyometric-based hydro-kinesio therapy (Plyo-HKT) on pain, muscle strength, postural control, and functional performance in a convenience sample of children with hemophilic knee arthropathy (HKA). Forty-eight patients with HKA were randomly allocated to the Plyo-HKT group (n = 24, received the plyometric-based hydro-kinesio therapy program, twice/week, over 8 weeks) or the control group (n = 24, received standard exercise program). Both groups were assessed for pain, muscle strength, postural control, and functional performance pre and post-treatment.

Conditions

  • Haemophilic Arthropathy of Knee

Interventions

OTHER

Plyometric-based hydro-kinesio therapy

The plyometric-based hydro-kinesio therapy was conducted for 45 minutes, twice weekly, for 8 successive weeks. The training was geared toward the lower body and was conducted under the close supervision of a licensed pediatric physical therapist in accordance with the safety performance guidelines defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US National Strength and Conditioning Association.
