Hemophilia is a devastating bleeding disorder that affects its sufferers for life. After an episode, blood can collect in joints and tissues, creating pain and making exertion dangerous. Thanks to a visionary researcher (Hamilton Health Sciences Physiotherapist, Karen Strike) and committed Mohawk Foundation partners, a breakthrough assessment tool, utilizing ultrasound to inspect injured areas and determine when it’s safe to return to normal activity, was developed, tested and proven to be a game-changer for hemophiliacs.
A breakthrough is always a good reason to give.
