| Abstract: | Objective:Heamophilia is considered a disorder in both children and adolescents which may affect their quality of life seriously than their normal peers; this study investigated the impact of the Neurodynamics Nerve Flossing Technique (NFT) on femoral neuropathy in patients with haemophilia.Method:Thirty haemophilic children with Femoral Neuropathy were randomly allocated into two equivalent groups; the study group which received Neurodynamics NFT of the femoral nerve and conventional therapy program, and the control group which received only the conventional therapy program, three sessions/week for 12 weeks. Femoral nerve motor conduction velocity (MCV) and level of pain sensation according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), were assessed pre and post interventions.Results:post-treatment comparison between both groups revealed that there was a significant increase in femoral nerve MCV and reduction of pain sensation of the study group compared to the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion:Neurodynamics Nerve flossing had a clear effect in the treatment of femoral neuropathy in children with haemophilia. |
