Summary
This study looked at whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) and structured exercises could improve balance and walking ability in adults with hemophilia. Thirty-five adults with moderate or severe hemophilia took part. Half received 12 physiotherapy sessions over 6 weeks, while the other half continued their usual care. The results showed that the therapy group had better balance and walking capacity compared to those who did not receive the extra treatment.
