Abstract

Objective: to evaluate peripheral muscle strength in adults with hemophilia, through manual dynamometry, and to verify the difference in muscle strength according to the classification of hemophilia severity. Method: Twenty men participated in the research, divided into 2 groups, one with hemophiliacs and one control; an evaluation form was applied, followed by the handgrip test. Results: When the two groups were compared, a statistically significant difference was observed in the variables height (p=0.007) and grip strength of the dominant (p=0.04) and non-dominant (0.002) sides, favoring the control group; when comparing the grip strength of hemophiliacs with mild and severe disease, there was a significant difference for the non-dominant side (p=0.01). Conclusion: The decrease in grip strength for the group of hemophiliacs can be associated with their condition of hereditary chronic disease. However, as the number of participants was small, these suggestive results show the need for more studies on the subject.
