“…Gait analysis is a non invasive and very well-tolerated procedure. Therefore, it lends itself to be used in the paediatric populations as an early assessment tool, while in the adult, it allows the assessment of any deterioration of walking in patients with already established arthropathies [35,36].…”

“…Duringthe analysis, the computer calculates the trajectory of each marker in three dimensions. The vast majority of labs have also floor-mounted load transducers, also known as force platforms, that measure the reaction forces and the momentum of the reaction to the ground, including magnitude, direction, and position (called the pressure centre) [36]. Adding these data to the dynamics of each body segment allows the calculation of net forces and net force momentum on each articulation at each stage of the cycle of gait [37].…”

This narrative review aims to give an overview of some postural evaluation systems currently used in patients with haemophilia. Among them, first, we analyse the HJHS scale, recognized as a specific evaluation tool for haemophilic arthropathy. Second, we focus on other systems usually used in non-haemophilic patients that have also shown good applicability in this patient category, such as gait analysis, stabilometry, and baropodometric examination. This review underlines the use these tools could have in clinical practice to identify the early postural alterations in patients with haemophilia and set up personalised rehabilitation programs.

Changes of static and dynamic spine alignment in patients with severe haemophilia

Introduction Haemophilic arthropathy results in a restricted range of motion and pain that often affects gait. The effect of these gait changes on spinal posture has not been studied. Aim To evaluate whether the altered joint situation in patients with haemophilia (PwH) leads to compensatory mechanisms evident in the trunk and spine, considering static and dynamic conditions. Methods PwH and healthy controls (20–65 years) were examined using rasterstereography in a controlled cohort study. Analysis was performed in static and dynamic conditions in regard to gait phases. Joint status was determined using the Haemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS). Results Static measurements showed no group differences in PwH (n = 40) compared to healthy controls (n = 40) except pelvic torsion (median [25%‐quartile;75%‐quartile]: ‐1.9[‐3.2;.9]° vs. .5[‐1.1;1.9]°; P = .007). In contrast, under dynamic conditions PwH showed significantly higher trunk inclination and lower apex lumbar lordosis in all gait phases. Additionally, pelvic torsion was increased in mid stance and terminal swing. Considering joint status, PwH had a higher global HJHS (23.5[13.0;30.0] vs. 3.0[1.0;5.0]; P<.001). A significant moderate correlation was shown between the HJHS mobility score and spine parameters (r = .228–.588; P<.05). Conclusion Degenerative joint changes in PwH lead to altered spine posture during gait. A reason could be the reduced mobility in the affected joint. Changes in spinal and pelvic posture lead to higher structural burdens; therefore, clinicians should focus on posture of spinal column during gait in daily treatment.
