RECRUITING

Muscle Function After Childbirth

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

This study will evaluate lower extremity and trunk neuromuscular control in 78 nulligravid and postpartum women. Participants will attend two experimental sessions, approximately 1 week apart, to assess neuromuscular function. Physical activity levels will also be assessed.

Official Title
