Comparing arm function in children with and without hemophilia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares how well children with hemophilia use their arms and hands compared to healthy children. If your child has hemophilia A or B, is on regular treatment, and has no inhibitors or recent bleeds in the arm, they may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- They must be on regular preventive treatment (prophylaxis)
- They must not have inhibitors (antibodies that block factor) at enrollment

This study tests whether special knee-strengthening exercises using a machine can improve how well boys with hemophilia can use their affected knee. The goal is to see if these exercises help with daily activities and reduce joint problems.
This study looks at what helps or limits physical activity in adults with hemophilia who have joint damage in their legs. It may help doctors find better ways to support patients in staying active.
This study uses ultrasound to check if joints that are currently healthy stay healthy in people with hemophilia A who are taking emicizumab (Hemlibra) as their regular treatment. It aims to see if this treatment helps prevent joint damage over time.
This study looks at the mouth health and quality of life of children with hemophilia. It aims to understand how hemophilia affects oral health so that better dental care can be provided.
This study tests whether playing fun, virtual reality-based exercise games can help improve movement and strength in boys with hemophilia. It might help improve joint health and physical function by making rehabilitation enjoyable and motivating.
This study compares how well people with hemophilia can do the sit-to-stand test (standing up from a chair repeatedly for 30 seconds) to people without hemophilia. It helps understand leg strength and function.
