About this trial
The aim of our study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 2-minute step test in hemophilia patients, assess its intra-rater and inter-rater reliability, and evaluate its convergent validity and construct validity supported by measurements of gait, balance, and functionality.

2-Minute Step Test
The 2MST is widely used to assess aerobic endurance and physical fitness. In this study, the 2MST protocol developed by Rikli and Jones will be used. Before the test, the midpoint between the anterior superior iliac spine and the top of the patella will be measured for each participant, and the target height for knee elevation will be marked on the wall with adhesive tape for standardization. Upon hearing the verbal cue "Go," participants will begin walking (not running) in place and will lift each knee to reach the target height. The test will be timed with a stopwatch, and the number of steps will be recorded directly by observation by a physical therapist.

2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT):
The 2MWT is a measure of functional capacity and assesses the total distance an individual can walk within a two-minute period. Participants are asked to walk as safely as possible between two cones placed 15 m apart. The dista

Timed Up and Go Test (TUG):
The TUG is used to determine functional level and mobility. For the test, the patient sits on a standard chair, stands up from the chair upon the start command, walks as quickly and safely as possible to a marked point 3 meter

One-Legged Standing Test:
The One-Legged Standing Test will be administered to assess patients' static balance. In the one-legged standing test, while standing with arms hanging down at the sides, each lower extremity will be lifted one at a time, and th
