Introduction:
Exercise can provide numerous benefits to haemophilia patients, including bleeding reduction in muscles and joints.
Aim:
This systematic review (SR) aims to evaluate the effects of physical exercise on pain and the musculoskeletal function of patients with hemophilia.
Methods:
Literature searches of Pubmed, Web of Science, PEDro, Cochrane, Clinical Trials SciELO and Lilacs were performed. The risks of bias were measured using the JADAD scale.
Results:
Nine controlled clinical trials were included in the SR.
Conclusion:
Physical exercise can promote a reduction in the perception of pain and can increase ROM and muscle strength in haemophilia patients. Future RCTs with greater methodological rigor that focus on the parameters used to prescribe exercises are necessary.
