Official title:
Effectiveness of Manual Therapy and Educational Physiotherapy in the Treatment of Hemophilic Arthropathy of the Knee. A Randomized Pilot Study
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.
Randomized trial with two treatment groups: one using joint traction, passive muscle
stretching and isometric exercises, active resisted and proprioception exercises (group MT);
and another with educational sessions and home exercises (group E); and a control group
(group C).
The intervention was carried out during twelve weeks, performing evaluation before and after
treatment, and six months of finalizing this. The treatment in MT group consisted of two
sessions per week for one hour each, and the treatment in group E consisted of a session of
90 minute every two weeks, with exercises daily home. The control group (group C) did not
receive any treatment. After the allocation to the groups, the composition was follows: MT
group = 7; E group = 7; and control group = 7.
