The general information of patients was collected, and functional tests were conducted. According to whether or not a fall occurred, the patients were divided into two groups. The univariate and multivariate analysis were used to compare the differences between the general data and the functional test results, and analysis the risk factors of fall in adult hemophilia patients. Results: A total of 163 patients participated in the study, 64 of whom had fallen in the past year.
