The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is seeking participants for a study that aims to assess how a person’s level of activity relates to characteristics of their foot, such as shape and muscle strength.

Participants will be asked to attend one test session lasting around 45 minutes in which their foot characteristics will be measured. Participants will then wear a step counter for the next several days and return for their last session to have the step counter data collected.

If you are interested in learning more about the study or would like to participate, please contact Marcey Keefer Hutchison (gfufootstudy@georgefox.edu) or call at 503-269-2161. We look forward to hearing from you!
