The study aims to compare the effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound and infrared in managing hemarthrosis in patients with Hemophilia A, focusing on specific outcomes like joint pain, swelling, muscle atrophy, and range of motion.The main question to it is either one from both of the modalities are effective for hemophilia patients or not? comparison will be done to check the effectiveness of ultrasound and infrared on patients of both groups.
participants will:
The data collection was started by the consent of the participants through the consent form. Then we randomly divided the patients into Group A and Group B. Group A participants were given Ultrasound therapy for 10 minutes with intensity of 1.5 W/m2 along with the conventional physiotherapy as well as home plan. Group B participants were given Infrared therapy for 10 minutes with moderate intensity along with the conventional physiotherapy as well as home plan. Both groups were given 4 sessions for 4 weeks.

| theraputic ultrasound | Device | Ultrasound is a mechanical sound wave with frequencies above human hearing, requiring a medium like air or tissue to travel, commonly used in imaging. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| joint pain | Joint Pain: Measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) to quantify changes in pain severity. 0 indicates no pain while 10 indicates severe pain | 3 weeks |
| ROM | Range of Motion (ROM): Measured using a goniometer to assess improvements in flexion and extension angles, measured in degrees, in the joint. | 3 weeks |
| Swelling | Assessed based on circumference measurements around knee, elbow and ankle joint using inelastic tape measure in centimeters around the affected joint to detect reductions in swelling. | 3 weeks |
