Impact of physiotherapy in patients with Hemophilia A

by, Msc. Alesia ÇELA

Abstract

Introduction: Hemophilia is a congenital X-ray disease associated with bleeding in which blood does not clot. It is categorized as a hemostasis problem. Hemostasis, the cessation of blood flow as a result of damage to a blood vessel, is normally divided into two processes, primary hemostasis and secondary hemostasis. In hemophilia, the secondary hemostasis (which results in the formation of a clot in the fibrin) is in this case broken. So, low coagulation is due to an abnormal protein plasma clotting abnormality in factors VIII and IX that are involved. Aim: The aim of this study is to show that combined rehabilitation based in exercises is more effective just a simple therapy to improve hemophilia and reducing the symptoms. Methods: In this review study 30 studies were obtained which have used different physiotherapeutic methods in the treatment of hemophilia A. The elected studies ranged from 2001-2019. The literature is based on official sources as Cochrane library, Pubmed, MEDLINE, DOAJ, Medscape, Clinical trial.gov, and some articles like is Official Journal of WFH , BMJ Open. Results: During the study it was observed that the combined physiotherapeutic rehabilitation had more efficiency than a simple treatment method. Conclusion: Physiotherapeutic rehabilitation with combined methods based on exercises gives better and positive results in the treatment of hemophilic patients.
