The modern rehabilitation medicine is an important part of the comprehensive me- cal attendance of hemophiliacs. The necessary multidisciplinary team of specialists is available in a qualitative high-class
rehabilitation hospital. Indispensable is the point that the coordinating medical specialist in Rehabilitation Medicine on site is skilled in the treatment of hemophiliacs. But he doesn't want and he can't replace the
patient's hematologist. He is just the coordinator of the comprehensive team in the rehabilitation clinic. I hope I have shown that rehabilitation is an important topic for most patients with hemophilia. References 1. Neuntes
