Assessment of Static Balance with and Without Cognitive Dual Task in Children with Haemophilia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Balance is an essential motor skill that enables individuals to maintain a stable posture and perform daily activities safely. Dual-task assessments are widely used to evaluate the integration of motor and cognitive functions in paediatric populations, but their effects on postural control in children with haemophilia (CwH) remain poorly understood. The objective was to analyse and compare static balance performance under single-task and cognitive dual-task conditions between CwH and age-matched healthy controls (HC). Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study included 34 CwH and 32 HC aged 8-12 years. Balance was assessed using the Wii Balance Board^® under six conditions: bipedal, bipedal with cognitive task, and dominant and non-dominant unipedal
