Virtual Physical Therapy Support for Runners

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 compare standard of care of home exercise for running rehabilitation to the combined treatment of home exercise with an individually provided four-session virtual physical therapy support program intervention on pain and physical function movements (controlled dual and single leg squat and lateral hopping in individuals post running injury. These collective findings will help provide new evidence of the responses to an individually provided virtual PT interventions among runners.
