Summary

Orthotic devices help haemophilia patients manage musculoskeletal issues by immobilizing joints, providing support, and aiding mobility. These aids improve quality of life and prevent injuries during daily activities and sports.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal complications are common in haemophilia patients.
  • Orthoses are crucial for managing bleeds and their impact on joints.
  • Devices differ based on joint location and function (static vs. functional).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role and types of orthotic devices in haemophilia care.
  • To highlight the application of orthoses for upper and lower limb joints.
  • To emphasize the benefits of orthotics in preventing and managing musculoskeletal lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of orthotic device characteristics and applications in haemophilia.
  • Analysis of orthotic use for upper limb joints (elbow, shoulder) focusing on prehension.

  • Analysis of orthotic use for lower limb joints (knee, ankle, hip) focusing on ambulation.

    • Main Results:

    • Static and functional orthoses are utilized for immobilization, stabilization, and functional assistance.
    • Upper limb orthoses aid in prehension, while lower limb orthoses support ambulation and joint protection.
    • Shoe insoles, crutches, and walking frames are key orthotic interventions for gait and stance modification.

    Conclusions:

    • Orthotic devices are essential for improving the quality of life in haemophilia patients with musculoskeletal lesions.
    • Orthoses play a vital role in preventing injuries during daily living, sports, and strenuous activities.
    • Effective orthotic management aids in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of haemophilia-related musculoskeletal conditions.
