RECRUITING

Assessing the Tendons With Shear Wave Elastography

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to utilize Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) to study the viscoelastic properties of tendons to understand the functional differences between normal/asymptomatic and symptomatic tendon states. The study will also assess the degree of tendon healing following standard of care treatment.
