Using the Hemophilia Joint Health Score for assessment of children: Reliability of the Spanish version.
Numerous measuring instruments for the evaluation of hemophilic arthropathy have been developed.

This scale should be used generically in evaluating musculoskeletal pediatric patients with hemophilia.
