Doctor of Physical Therapy students are conducting a study, “A Biomechanical Analysis of the Floor Transfer in Community-Dwelling Older Adults,” overseen by principal investigators Lyndsay Stutzenberger and Tyler Whited. We are interested in how older adults get up from the floor.
To participate in our study, you must
To participate, you must NOT have a diagnosis of a neurological condition or a current illness or health issue that would make performing study activities unsafe.
If you’re interested in participating in this study and meet the above criteria, you would come to the Medical Sciences Building on Werth Boulevard, where we would ask you to sign an informed consent form, answer questions on a questionnaire, perform a short mental status examination, and have your vitals (blood pressure and heart rate) taken. Depending on the results of these assessments, you may or may not be eligible for the study.
If you’re eligible, you’ll be asked to participate in one testing session that takes up to approximately one hour. During testing sessions you will fill out questionnaires and be asked to attempt to stand up from a chair without using your arms multiple times and get up from the floor multiple times. You will not be paid for being in this study or reimbursed for any costs associated with traveling to/from the George Fox campus.
You are able to stop participation in the study at any time and for any reason. No information that would identify you will be made public, and we do not feel there is more than minimal risk associated with this study.
If you’re still interested in participating, the next step is for us to schedule an appointment for testing. Please call 503-554-2463 or email Lyndsay Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu.
