Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of progressive exercise program on the bleeding frequency in haemophilic patients. Subjects: Thirty men with haemophilia were selected randomly from the out-patient clinic of internal medicine in Damanhour Medical National Institute in Egypt, their age ranged from 20 to 40 years were participated in this study. Materials and Methods: Participants were assigned into two equal groups 1-group (A) received their medical treatment with their normal activities and participated in progressive strengthening exercise program for eight weeks 2-group (B) received their medical treatment and on their normal activities. All had experienced at least one episode of bleeding last month. Data of clotting time, bleeding frequency, pain and muscle strength were collected from each patient in both group pre and post the eight weeks of treatment program. Results: Statistical analysis using paired student t-test and unpaired student t-test revealed that there was no significant difference regarding mean values of the measurable variables pretreatment between both groups A and B. However, there was significant difference in improvement in mean values of clotting time, pain and bleeding frequency in group (A) than in group (B) after eight weeks of treatment. There was significant decreasing (P<0.05) in clotting time (P-Value was 0.042) post treatment (9.48 {u066A}) compared to group (B) (1.64 {u066A})
