RECRUITING

Effect of BFR Rehab After Achilles Tendon Rupture

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 determine if blood flow restriction therapy after Achilles tendon rupture reconstruction decreases post-operative calf atrophy, improves reported outcomes, and ultimately decreases return to play time.
