RECRUITING

ACL Bone Health and Loading Study

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 look at the effects of bone density on lower extremity loading mechanics using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) to provide the control group for bone health. Hypothesis: The BFR group will have decreased bone mineral loss and improved functional performance compared to control group.

Official Title

The Effects of Bone Health on Landing Mechanics on Patients Post ACL Reconstruction.
