Effect of Kinetic Chain Exercises on Muscle Strength, Joint Position Sense and Quality of Life in Children with Haemophilia.

Effect of Kinetic Chain Exercises on Muscle Strength, Joint Position Sense and Quality of Life in Children with Haemophilia.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if there are effect of close kinetic chain exercises on muscle strength, joint position sense and Quality of life in children with haemophilia? Null hypothesis

It will be hypothesized that:

There is no effect of close kinetic chain exercises on muscle strength, joint position sense and Quality of life in children with haemophilia.

Sample size estimation will be carried out to determine the recruited number of children selected randomly from Out Patient clinic of Atfal Misr hospital, Cairo governorate to participate in this study. The study targets male children with hemophilia A.

They will be selected based on the following:

Inclusion criteria:

1. Their chronological age will be 5-7yeasr.
2. All children will receive prophylaxis therapy.
3. They will able to stand and walk independently.
4. They will be able to follow instructions during evaluation and treatment.

Exclusive criteria:

The children will be excluded if they have one of the following:

1. Visual or auditory problem.
2. Radiographic changes as bone erosions, destruction, or joint subluxation, or congenital or acquired skeletal deformities in both lower limbs.
3. Surgical procedures performed six weeks prior to or during study.
4. Bleeding in joint 2 week prior to assessment.
