The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of establishing a patient-based ultrasound monitoring of the knee (representing a target joint accessible with any hand) with a handheld device: The following questions will be answered: 1. What is necessary for the organisational implementation of a patient-based ultrasound monitoring in patients with haemophilia? 2. Is it possible to train patients with haemophilia to perform sonography of their target joints? 3. Does a patient-based ultrasound monitoring with a handheld device work in a home setting? 4. What is the quality of the patient's self-acquired ultrasound images? 5. Will the test persons be able to distinguish normal findings from (any) pathologic findings?
