The Use of Primary Care Physiotherapy for Persons With Bleeding Disorders in the Netherlands–A Retrospective Study of Health Records

The study indicated that exercise therapy was a commonly used treatment modality for all conditions. In contrast with other conditions, manual techniques were a frequently provided treatment modality in haemophilic arthropathy. Treatment was in many instances not in concordance with newly developed treatment recommendations. Dissemination and implementation of the recently developed treatment recommendations have the potential to improve primary care physiotherapy treatment for persons with bleeding disorders.
