Is there someone at George Fox who has made a difference in your college experience? Someone who ignited a spark that made you want to learn more than you thought you could, someone who walked alongside you during a difficult season, someone who has been a mentor? Take a moment to write an email, e-card, or traditional “thank you” card to that professor, RA, tutor, supervisor, or other influential person. Try to be specific as you describe how this person has contributed to your life. Students in Newberg can stop by the ARC to pick up a blank card.
DPT students are conducting a research study on how people 50 years and older get up from the floor, called, “A Biomechanical Analysis of the Floor Transfer in Community-Dwelling Older Adults”.
These are the requirements to participate in our study:
If you choose to participate and meet the above criteria, you’ll come to the university’s Medical Sciences Building on Werth Boulevard, where we will 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 are eligible, you will continue the single testing session that will last approximately one hour. You will fill out questionnaires and be asked to stand up from a chair without using your arms and get up from the floor. You will not be paid for being in this study or reimbursed for any travel costs.
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 interested in participating, the next step is to schedule an appointment for testing. To do so, please call 503-554-2463 or email Lyndsay Stutzenberger at lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu.
Today is the last day for 20% off Champion-brand clothing at the Bruin Bookstore (in-store and online), including hoodies, T-shirts, sweatpants and crewnecks.
Doctor of physical therapy students are seeking individuals 18 to 45 years of age to figure out the effects of lower body strength on the ability to recover from a loss of balance and how people step when they lose their balance.
If you meet the study criteria, you will be asked to attend one testing session where you will be made to lose your balance multiple times in a safety harness while performing a squat task and have your ankle, knee and hip strength tested while sitting. Your participation in this study will involve approximately 60 minutes of time.
If interested, please contact Gabe Haberly, PhD, CSCS (ghaberly@georgefox.edu, 503-554-2941) or Lyndsay Stutzenberger, PT, DPT, PhD, CEEAA (lstutzenberger@georgefox.edu, 503-554-2463).
Are you currently enrolled in a graduate program (either master’s or doctoral level) and a parent or currently pregnant? If so, please consider participating in this research study examining the experience of parenting while in graduate school. Both male and female participants are needed.
A free meal and free temporary childcare will be provided for in-person participation in this research. Please follow this link to register for participation.
