Haemophilia Deficiency of factor 8 (haemophilia A) or factor 9 (Haemophilia B / Christmas disease)
X linked recessive
Presents before 1 year of age
Recurrent frequent spontaneous bleeding intomuscles and joints
Results in chronic disabling arthropathy
![Page 4: Altered muscle strength and architecture influences motor performance in boys with severe haemophilia and ankle joint haemarthrosis David Stephensen 1,2,](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ece5503460f94bda57a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background
Annual bleed frequency of 1-2 bleeds / yr (Feldmen et al. 2006; Manco-Johnson et al. 2007; Gringeri et al. 2011)
Ankle joint is the most common site of bleeding(Stephensen et al. 2009)
Muscles are smaller and weaker than their unaffected peers
(Stephensen et al., 2012)
Alterations in balance and gait when compared to unaffected peers
(Bladen et al. 2007; Stephensen et al. 2009; De Souza et al., 2012)

Clinical significance
Importance of evaluating muscle function and strength
Ankle plantar flexors are weaker and smaller
Muscle strength and architecture strongly influence gait adaptations
Impacts ankle and knee joint function during weight-bearing phases of walking
