Hemophilia is one of the hereditary coagulation disorders characterized by a deficiency of plasma clotting factors such as factor Ⅷ and Ⅸ. As life long bleeding occurs in hemophiliacs, a continuous multidisciplinary team approach is required for the patient and his family.

This study was performed to determine the various clinical aspects of hemophilia in evidence at the present time as well as to emphasize the effectiveness of a comprehensive rehabilitation management for admitted patients. In spite of the early diagnosis of hemophilia, patients are seldom managed by a multidisciplinary team. AHF(Antihemophilic Factor) infusion, education, early mobilization, and continuous exercise are the most important components of a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
