Summary
This study tested a personalized program of exercise and manual therapy (like stretching and massage) in 10 adults with severe hemophilia who had multiple damaged joints. The goal was to see if it could reduce pain, improve joint movement and strength, boost heart-lung fitness, and enhance quality of life. Participants received tailored sessions based on their current condition, and the study measured outcomes like joint health, pain scores, walking ability, and daily function.
