Study summary
Introduction. The development of hemophilic arthropathy causes degenerative joint damage that leads to functional impairment, limiting physical activity and causing disability in patients with hemophilia.
Objectives. i) To assess the level of physical activity in patients with hemophilia; ii) To identify the best predictive model for physical activity in adult patients with hemophilic arthropathy.
Material and method. Multicenter cross-sectional cohort study. Eighty-eight patients will be recruited. The dependent variable will be physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Secondary variables will be kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale), functionality (Functional Independence Scale in Hemophilia), pain intensity, and clinical, anthropometric, and sociodemographic variables.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Measurement of physical activity level — Screening visit Physical activity levels will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). This tool assesses physical activity levels in adults aged 18 to 65. It consists of seven questions that ask about the frequency, duration, and intensity of physical activity performed in the last week. It also assesses the time spent walking and sitting. The results are classified into three categories: low, moderate, and high activity. The unit of measurement is metabolic equivalent task (METS), where a higher number of METS indicates greater physical activity.
