Abstract

Hemophilia is a blood-clotting disorder caused by a deficiency in factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), which manifests itself through bleeding in the muscles and joints. Haemophilic arthropathy causes pain and deterioration in movement, thereby causing disability and permanent joint damage. Aim of the study was to determine the effect of physiotherapy on range of motion on target joints in people with hemophilia. This was a prospective study done on 50 patients of all age groups with hemophilia in the study period from March 2022 to February 2023
