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 goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of semiconductor sleeves on the treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus (ACL+Meniscus) arthroscopic surgery. The effect of the sleeves will be analyzed through patient reported and clinically measured outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do the semiconductor sleeves improve the functional outcomes compared to the placebo? * Will patients experience improved functional outcomes in a shorter period of time compared to the placebo? Researchers will compare semiconductor fabric sleeves to a placebo (a look-alike sleeve that contains no semiconductor material) to see if the semiconductor fabric better treats ACL and ACL+meniscus surgical patients. Participants will: * Wear semiconductor or placebo leg sleeve for 4 weeks and knee sleeve for the following 12 weeks * Complete patient reported outcome surveys
