Physiotherapy and Reaction Time in Hemophilia

Summary

This randomised controlled study was conducted to investigate the comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises on individuals with hemophilic arthropathy in the lower extremity. There are two groups in the study: home exercises and comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises. Is physiotherapy combined with home exercises superior to home exercises on joint health, bleeding frequency, reaction time, dynamic balance, muscle strength? The aim of this study is to increase the compliance of hemophilic individuals to physiotherapy and adapt home exercises to their lives with weekly sessions.
