Different training protocols designed to treat these patients are of great importance. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of drought and water therapy on pain and range of motion of the knee in hemophilia patients. Methods: In this present clinical-trial study, 40 patients with hemophilia type A were randomly divided into three groups: exercise therapy on land, hydrotherapy, and control groups. The first two groups attended their special exercises on three days within 4 weeks, but the control group were only subjected to their daily life activities. Experimental pain, flexion and knee extension were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and standard Goniometer at the beginning and after the intervention. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Scheffe’s test (P SP - 430 EP - 441 AU - Mazloum, V AU - Khayabash, KH AU - Rahnama, N AD - KW - Key words: Hydrotherapy KW - Exercise Therapy KW - Hemophilia KW - Knee Range of Motion UR - http://armaghanj.yums.ac.ir/article-1-223-en.html ER -
