Our findings indicate that the 30-STS is useful for assessing functional deterioration in people with early-stage haemophilia-related arthropathy. Our results also indicate that joint damage, combined with ageing and pain, may impact 30-STS outcomes in PwMH. Furthermore, our findings show that the loss in TUG and 60-STS performance in PwMH is related to ageing.
