Do you have experience with bunions? Then we need you!
George Fox University’s School of Physical Therapy is conducting research on bunions. Our research team is interested in looking at two groups of people: 1) persons who had surgery for their bunions, and 2) those who currently have bunions.
We would like to know how the foot functions following bunion surgery. In order to answer this question, we are collecting data on how people walk and on muscle strength.
Testing is conducted in the physical therapy department. The tests are simple to perform and require about an hour to complete. The results of our study will help to provide direction as to the best form of rehabilitation after surgery or in lieu of surgery.
If you are interested in our study, would like more information or would like to enroll as a participant, please contact Jaymee at 808-728-8353 or email jkau17@georgefox.edu. Jaymee will be happy to answer all your questions. There is a monetary incentive for participation in this study.

Faculty: As we approach the end of the term, here are a few FoxTALE reminders.
You will want to keep an archive of your gradebooks that includes all courses taught for the last five years. See the guide “Downloading the Gradebook” for a demonstration on how to download this term’s gradebooks as spreadsheets for your storage.
Your 2019 summer and 2019-20 academic year course sites are now accessible to you in FoxTALE. They will remain hidden from students until you are ready to make your courses visible. See the guides at “FoxTALE Course Life Cycle” for information on how to locate courses, adjust course start and end dates, import content from previous courses, and make your courses visible to the students.
You will find additional guides at “Digital Learning” and “FoxTALE for Faculty.” We welcome your inquiries at digitallearning@georgefox.edu.
