Hemo 201: What to Do When You Have No Clue
Hemophilia is a uniquely challenging and sometimes perplexing condition for physical therapists to manage and treat. Physical therapists who see patients across the lifespan may manage conditions that range from athletic injuries to frailty. Clinicians often rely on reviewing limited evidence, consulting colleagues, and ultimately critical thinking and best clinical judgment to develop a management plan. This session will outline a framework for different scenarios seen in the clinic and look at six broad management schemes.
