What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of closed kinetic chain exercises versus proprioceptive exercises in improving balance, proprioception, and gait in adolescents and young adults with hemophilia. Participants will include individuals diagnosed with Hemophilia A or B, aged 13 to 25, who have experienced lower extremity joint bleeding. The study will measure the differences in outcomes between the two exercise approaches to determine which is more beneficial for this population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adolescents and young adults aged 13-25 with Hemophilia A or B and a history of lower extremity joint bleeding.
Not a fit: Patients who have undergone lower extremity surgery in the last 6 months or have a Body Mass Index over 30 kg/m2 may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved exercise recommendations that enhance balance and mobility for young patients with hemophilia.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited information on similar studies, the approach of comparing different exercise modalities in hemophilia is relatively novel and may provide new insights.
