Surface electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris in patients affected by haemophilia A.

2006

Eighteen sessions of surface electrical stimulation was applied to the quadriceps femoris of the left leg of ten male subjects affected by severe haemophilia A, while ten healthy subjects constituted the control group. The isometric strength, the electromyographic activity and the diameter of the rectus femoris were measured in both legs before and after a six-week treatment period. After the treatment, the people affected by haemophilia showed a gain in strength by 13.8% in the stimulated leg and by 17.1% in the non-stimulated one. No changes were detected in the electromyographic activity. On the contrary, the diameter of the rectus femoris of the stimulated leg increased in 24.34%, while…

Results of an orthopaedic survey in young patients with severe haemophilia in Spain

2002

Summary.  This paper outlines the results obtained in a cross-sectional study of a group of young patients with severe haemophilia A and B. The primary aim of the study was to ascertain the level of orthopaedic complications in the group, the effects that these complications have on quality of life, and the medical resources used on these patients. The secondary aim was to relate their current orthopaedic state to the type of treatment received before the study. The study was carried out in 11 hospitals in Spain, where 70 severe haemophilia patients (factor VIII [FVIII] < 2%), with an average age of 21.6 and a median age of 22, and no inhibitors, were monitored. The percentage of patients s…
