“…Compared to other factors which are commonly affecting Haemophilic patients, transfer ability dominated the Social relationships domain and it could be due to improper usage of appropriate walking aids for mobility and it is expected that a proper evaluation of walking aid is warranted.

BACKGROUND Functional Independence Score in Haemophilia (FISH) is a performance-based assessment tool, to objectively measure the patient's functional disability. The present study was done to assess the functional abilities of haemophiliac patients presenting to a tertiary care centre. METHODS This hospital based observational study was performed on all patients (100) diagnosed as haemophilia referred to Hamidia Hospital from 1 st March 2017 to 30th June 2018. Patients with other bleeding disorders and patients on medication which can alter coagulation profile were excluded. RESULTS Mean FISH for mild, moderate and severe haemophilia was 25.26±2.62, 23.65±3.67 and 21.81±2.65 and overall mean was 23.51±3.23. CONCLUSIONS The functional components like transfer and locomotion were mainly determined by joint bleeds and total joint score respectively which were observed by the positive correlation between the respective components. Hence more the bleed and joint score, higher the dependence for transfer and locomotion.

“…A tape measure and a goniometer are used in the examination of the knees, ankles, elbows, and hips for the presence of edema, atrophy, crepitus, flexion contractures, axial deformities, loss of range of motion and instability; points are assigned to each finding, according to severity and are summed. A score of zero denotes normal joints; 68 points corresponds to the worst level of arthropathy (17,18) . …”

BackgroundHemophilia is a potentially disabling condition as hemophilic arthropathy develops early in life and is progressive, especially in patients treated in an on-demand regime. ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe the structural joint status and the functional independence score of hemophiliac adults and correlate structural damage with the functional deficits found in these patients. MethodsHemophiliacs at the Juiz de Fora Regional Blood Center - HEMOMINAS Foundation, aged 18 years and over and treated in an on-demand regime, were clinically evaluated in respect to structural joint damage using the World Federation of Hemophilia Physical Examination Scale (WFH-PE) and functional deficits using the Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia (FISH). The Spearman rank test was used to evaluate the correlation between the two scores. ResultsThirty-nine patients were evaluated. The mean age was 36.8 years. Target joints were detected in 69.2% of patients studied. The mean Physical Examination Scale and Functional Independence Score were 16.87 and 25.64, respectively. Patients with mild hemophilia showed no significant joint involvement. Patients with severe or moderate hemophilia had similar results regarding structural damage (p-value < 0.001) and functional deficits (p-value = 0.001). There was statistical significance in the correlation between the two scores (r = -0.850; p-value = 0.01). ConclusionsThe World Federation of Hemophilia Physical Examination Scale and Functional Independence Score in Hemophilia may be useful to clinically assess structural joint damage and functional deficits in hemophiliacs as the tools are inexpensive and easy to administer and may be able to detect hemophilic arthropathy, which results from recurrent hemarthrosis and is common in the population studied.
