DPT program seeking older adults for telehealth study

Tuesday, March 16th, 2021

The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is seeking participants between the ages of 60 and 90 for a study that aims to assess the use of telehealth as a way to screen for frailty in community-dwelling older adults. If you know of anyone in this age range who might be interested, let us know!

In order to qualify for this study, participants must:

  • Be 60-90 years old, live independently or in an assisted living facility
  • Able to walk without the help of another person
  • Pass a mental status exam.

Participants will be asked to attend one test session lasting about one hour during which they will be asked to perform a physical performance test both in a lab and telehealth setting. Cameras will record the movement of markers that will be placed on your body, and force plates in the ground will record your foot contact during the sit-to-stand activity in the lab. Performance during the telehealth activities will be recorded.

If you are interested in learning more about the study, or would like to participate, please contact Lyndsey Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu or at 503-554-2463.
