Comparison of posture and muscle stiffness between adolescent boys with haemophilia and age-matched healthy peers: An observational comparative study

Postural alterations and reduced rectus femoris stiffness should be considered in management of the musculoskeletal complications of haemophilia.PMID:38160338 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230185
