Effectiveness of an Adapted Physical Activity Program for Subjects Suffering From Haemophilia

Effectiveness of an Adapted Physical Activity Program for Subjects Suffering From Haemophilia:a Prospective Interventional Study

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The present study aims to evaluate the modification of functional capacity induced by an adapted physical activity program in subjects with haemophilia. The exercise program used aims to improve joint mobility, muscle strength, static and dynamic balance, motor coordination. The program is structured in 1 hour sessions of 2 days/week and lasts 6 months. The primary endpoint is the change in functional capacity calculated as the difference between the baseline assessment and the 3 and 6 month assessment of the 6 Minutes Walking Test measured with the G-Walk (BTS Bioengineering S.p.A).

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Diagnosis of hemophilia A or B; - Signature of willing to sign a consent form; - Availability of a medical certificate for non-competitive activities Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Active bleeding - Severe joint deformities that prevent exercise - Insufficiency of communicative and/or sensory functions so severe that it is impossible to understand or carry out the trainer's instructions (dementia, aphasia, blindness, deafness) - Heart failure (NYHA class \> 2) - Unstable angina - Lung disease requiring oxygen therapy - Symptomatic peripheral arterial disease - Myocardial infarction or hospitalization within the previous 6 months - Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension - Hypertension in poor pharmacological control (diastolic\> 95 mmHg, systolic\> 160 mmHg) - Significant neurological conditions that impair motor or cognitive function Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
