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 primary goal of this dissertation study is to determine if a home-based multiplanar balance training program with electronic assistance, will be effective in reducing one's fall risk category. Hypothesis: After 12 weeks, there will be a statistically significant decrease in the fall risk category for individuals in a home-based multiplanar balance training and educational program with electronic assistance as compared to no change in the fall risk category for individuals in an educational control group with electronic assistance Hypothesis: To determine if an individual's fear of falling is lower following a home-based multiplanar balance training and educational program, with electronic assistance as compared to no change in fear of falling following an educational control group with electronic assistance post-intervention. Hypothesis: An individual's quality of life will improve following a home-based multiplanar balance training and educational program, with electronic assistance as compared to no change in the quality of life following an educational control group with electronic assistance post-intervention. Hypothesis: Adherence and feasibility will be greater with a home-based multiplanar balance training program, with electronic assistance as compared to a control group with electronic assistance. Hypothesis: There will be a statistically significant inverse relationship between an individual's fear of falling and their fall risk category.
