Abstract
Introduction

Haemophilic arthropathy presents with different important clinical disorders, such as joint disease, pain, decreased range of motion, and functional alterations that can produce limitations in functionality and mobility. The physical exercise adapted to patients with haemophilia can be an adequate therapeutic strategy, having a positive impact on the quality of life of these subjects.

Objectives

To identify the published clinical trials that evaluate the efficacy of physical rehabilitation in the treatment of haemophilic arthropathy.

Materials and methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials was conducted (using pre-defined eligibility criteria). The literature search was performed in the databases: PEDro, Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The quality of the methods used in the studies was evaluated using the PEDro scale.

Results

After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 studies were included in this review, providing favourable results on muscle strength and circumference, range of motion, joint disease, and quality of life. Moreover, 2 articles contributed information to the meta-analysis, showing favourable results on pain [Standardised mean difference (SMD) = −2.64; 95% CI: (−4.26 − +1.03)].

Conclusions

This systematic review found evidence on the efficacy of physical rehabilitation in the treatment for haemophilic arthropathy. Therapeutic exercise is the main treatment carried out, obtaining significant improvements in the different physical outcomes.

Resumen
Introducción

La artropatía hemofílica cursa con diferentes manifestaciones clínicas importantes, como son las hemorragias articulares, dolor, disminución de la amplitud de movimiento y alteraciones funcionales que pueden causar secuelas a nivel de funcionalidad y movilidad. El ejercicio físico adaptado a los pacientes con hemofilia puede ser una adecuada estrategia terapéutica, repercutiendo positivamente sobre la calidad de vida de dichos sujetos.

Objetivos

Evaluar la eficacia de la rehabilitación física en el tratamiento de la artropatía hemofílica. Materiales y métodos: Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática y meta-análisis de ensayos clínicos (seleccionados según criterios de elegibilidad). Para ello, se han utilizado las siguientes bases de datos: PEDro, Pubmed, Scopus y Web of Science. Se empleó la escala “PEDro” para evaluar la calidad metodológica de los estudios.

Resultados

Tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, 7 artículos fueron incluidos en la revisión final, aportando resultados favorables sobre la fuerza y diámetro muscular, rango de movilidad y estado articular, y calidad de vida. De ellos, 2 estudios aportaron datos para meta-análisis, mostrando resultados favorables sobre la variable: dolor [Diferencia de medias estandarizada (DME)=-2,64; IC95%:(-4,26;1,03)].

Conclusiones

Se encontró evidencia sobre la eficacia de la rehabilitación física en el tratamiento de la artropatía hemofílica. El ejercicio terapéutico es el principal tratamiento realizado, obteniendo mejoras significativas en distintas variables físicas.
