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

A vast majority (75-85%) of ankle sprain patients treated in emergency departments (ED) receive pain medication and are not referred for physical rehabilitation. Therefore, purpose of this study is to increase access to the standard of care for an ankle sprain by provide patients with physical rehabilitation delivered through telehealth. The purpose of this study includes compare a 2-week telehealth intervention to the usual care for treating 1) subjective function; 2) physical impairments; 3) medication consumption; and 4) patient-perceived barriers. The central hypothesis is participants receiving the 2-week telehealth intervention will 1) have less pain and disability; 2) improve balance and ankle range of motion; 3) consume less medication; and 4) reports positive feedback compared to the usual care group.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:15 Years to 35 Years

Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No

Standard Ages:CHILD, ADULT

Inclusion Criteria	Exclusion Criteria
* All race and ethnic groups * Men and women between 15-35 years of age * Discharged from an ED within 72 hours of being diagnosed with a grade 1 or 2 acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS) and not receiving a physical therapy referral from their treating physician will be enrolled. A LAS will be defined as an incident in which the rearfoot was inverted and resulted in a combination of pain, swelling and time lost from activity for at least one day. * Participants with or without a prior history of an ankle sprain will be included unless the most recent injury occurred within six months prior to enrollment. Participants with a prior history of ankle sprain will only be included if the most recent injury occurred beyond six months prior to enrollment: 1) to ensure they recovered and returned to their normal activity; 2) to ensure they are experiencing acute rather than chronic symptoms; 3) to ensure they are all exposed to similar treatment options.All race and ethnic groups will be included.	* Diagnosed with a concomitant injury (e.g., fracture) * History of lower extremity surgery, or conditions other than an ankle sprain that affect balance and gait * Do not speak English.
