Paediatric Haemophilia Activities List was used to assess physical activity at baseline and aftersix months of regular emicizumab prophylaxis. Data was analysed using SPSS 26. Results: There were 29 children, all (100%) boys, with mean age 8.7±3.51 years(range 4-15 years. Of them, 17(58.62%) patients were negative for inhibitors. Median Paediatric Haemophilia Activities Listsum score was 59.54 (interquartile range: 50.15-62.05) at baseline which moved up to 84 (interquartile range: 79.05-86.35) post-intervention (p<0.001).
