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.
The proposal aims to investigate a non-invasive, cost-effective method for rebuilding muscle mass in individuals with transtibial limb loss. Maintaining a healthy, pain-free residual limb is a primary concern for prosthesis users. Amputees commonly experience muscle deficits leading to mobility issues, poor prosthetic fit, and chronic pain. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a potential intervention that activates muscles with low-level electrical stimulation, improving strength, function, and reducing pain. The study seeks to understand NMES's effects on muscle parameters and pain to develop evidence-based interventions for amputees. Twenty participants with transtibial amputations will undergo an 8-week NMES training program. Ultrasound imaging will assess muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, and composition changes. The study aims to enhance mobility, prosthetic fit, and overall well-being of amputees, addressing challenges and reducing healthcare burdens.
Detecting Change in Muscle Parameters, Pain, and Function with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Treatment in Individuals Living with Transtibial Amputation
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.
