Abstract
INTRODUCTION: A 25-year-old male underwent allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and developed sclerodermoid chronic graft versus host disease. He complained of limitation of motion of major joints and some difficulties with activities of daily living (ADL) performances. DISCUSSION: He had been treated with physical and occupational therapies. After the rehabilitative managements, range of motion and ADL performances improved slightly. CONCLUSION: Active and continuous multimodal rehabilitative treatment would be helpful in managing contracture and functional impairment and preventing the progression of the disease.
