About this study

Official title: Assessment and Identification of Proprioceptive and Functional Changes in Patients With Hemophilia of the Region of Murcia.

Analyze and evaluate the skeletal muscle of patients affected with hemophilia in the Region of Murcia.

  • Describe the periarticular muscular deficit of the lower limbs, depending on the degree of injury: acute and chronic, or subacute.
  • Identify the range of motion of joints with higher prevalence of hemophilic arthropathy.
  • Detect the biomechanical changes of the lower limbs and their impact on gait in patients with hemophilia.
  • Assess the factors that influence the perception of illness and quality of life of patients with hemophilia.
Read the detailed description

Descriptive study of joint involvement in hemophilia patients with and without a history of hemarthrosis in lower limbs.

Descriptive study of alterations in the strength of the periarticular muscles of lower limbs as a result of acute conditions or the development of chronic articular sequelae.

Descriptive study of the biomechanical alterations in weight-bearing joints of lower limbs and their impact on gait in patients with hemophilia.

Descriptive study of the relationship between skeletal muscle pathology in patients with hemophilia and their perceptions of it and their quality of life.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the range of motion

    Assess the range of motion of elbow, knee and ankle (using a goniometric evaluation).

    Measured: Screening visit

  2. Assess the muscular strength

    Assess the muscular strength of arm, thigh and leg (through measurement of muscle balance).

    Measured: Screening visit

  3. Assess the joint pain

    Joint pain (VAS scale with the use of a pressure algometer).

    Measured: Screening visit

  4. Assess the variables of strength

    Assessment of variables of vertical strength, medio-lateral and anterior-posterior in jump and incorporation from the sitting position.

    Measured: Screening visit

  5. Assess the peak force

    Functional assessment of peak force, force production per unit time and subsequent stabilization in standing (in jump and in the passage from the sitting position to standing position, respectively, using a force platform).

    Measured: Screening visit

  6. Assess the contractile activity

    Assessment of miotendinous contractile activity in the patellar tendon and Achilles, in jump (CMJ-stiffness test).

    Measured: Screening visit

  7. Assess the state joint

    State joint (applying Hemophilia Joint Health Score questionnaire).

    Measured: Screening visit

  8. Assess the list of activities

    List of activities in hemophilia (completing the autocuestionario Hemophilia Activities List).

    Measured: Screening visit

  9. Assess the physical performance

    Perception of physical performance (with the HEP-Test-Q questionnaire)

    Measured: Screening visit

  10. Assess the health Profile

    Health Profile (using the scale Nottingham health profile)

    Measured: Screening visit

  11. Assess the quality of life

    Quality of life (using the SF-36 and Haemo-QoL-36 questionnaire).

    Measured: Screening visit

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Age, sex, weight of the patients with hemophilia

    Measured: Screening visit

  2. Diagnosis, severity of hemophilia, type of treatment (prophylactic or on-demand) and inhibitors

    Measured: Screening visit

  3. Frequency of joint bleeds in the previous month and bleeding during the assessment

    Measured: Screening visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemophilia, run by Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact RUBÉN CUESTA-BARRIUSO, PhD (rcuesta@ucam.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the range of motion (time frame: Screening visit). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2015.
